New Zealand speedster Lockie Ferguson has unveiled his all‑time Top Five Test fast bowlers. In his list he named two Pakistani legends, Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar. In a wide‑ranging interview, Ferguson’s top picks were:

  • Shane Bond (New Zealand)
     
  • Mitchell Johnson (Australia)
     
  • Shoaib Akhtar (Pakistan)
     
  • Wasim Akram (Pakistan)
     
  • Curtly Ambrose (West Indies)

Ferguson's selection stood out in two ways. He advocated the pace heritage that the Pakistan cricket team had to offer. Furthermore, no Indian bowler was mentioned in the list which answers the debate of which side had the better pacers in the history of the sport.

Ferguson admires raw aggression and controlled artistry. These are traits he himself embodies as a quick bowler. His list reflects a blend of pace, swing, and match-turning impact. It reignites the debate on how cricket legends from different countries are viewed across eras.
