5 best bowlers of EA Cricket 07
Cricket 07 is the last and the best release of the EA Sports cricket series. Released in 2006, this game is still a quite popular game a decade on, thanks to third-party mods and patches.
Users can play with 18 international teams in Cricket 07, while the game also features teams from English County cricket and Australian state cricket. The game comes with player customisation and creation mode, which is a relief considering EA did not have licensing for most of the teams in the game. Generic player names and statistics are similar to real life players.

Here, we list down the five best bowlers in Cricket 07, and their real life counterparts.
#5 J Krumble (Anil Kumble) - 90
J Krumble or Anil Kumble, is the only Indian bowler in this list. J Krumble’s bowling accuracy rating is at 90 and the leg-spinner is the best bowler in the Indian team’s roster.
Anil Kumble, or ‘Jumbo’, as his teammates called him, is the third highest wicket-taker of all time. His most remarkable feat was in 1999 against Pakistan where he took all 10 wickets in a single inning.
J Krumble, in Cricket 07, has taken 329 wickets in 264 ODI matches. His best bowling in an innings in ODI’s is 6 wickets for 12 runs at an economy rating of 4.30 runs per over.
The leg-spinner had a bag of tricks which included the leg break, googly, top spinner, and zooter. His special bowling attributes include ‘Work Horse’, similar to the real Anil Kumble, who largely depended on variation of pace and accuracy in his bowling, rather than spin.
