Top 5 left arm pacers of all time

2. Alan Davidson (Australia):

Not many people would know who Alan Davidson is. This is a piece of information for them. Alan Davidson is a former Australian left-arm pace bowler who played in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the mainstay of the Australian bowling dominance then. Davidson had the ability to get the ball to swing very late which fetched him many wickets. During a non-first-class match on tour, he took 10/29 in an innings and made 157 not out. He had a staggering match record and 186 wickets under his name in just 44 Tests at an average of 20 runs per wicket and a strike rate of a wicket every 10 overs. Davidson was regarded as unplayable in the period 1958 to 1963. Neil Harvey, another former Australian cricketer, was heard to say that good as Hayden was, Davidson would have got him in one over. Such was the regard for Davidson’s bowling. Now that is a true legend for you and one of the all-time best left-arm pacers.
