Varaiya of Kenya was the best One Day Bowler in 2006!! Wow! He took a phenomenal 12 wickets in just 6 matches he played, at a miserly economy rate of 3.15 RPO and an average of 13.5 RPW taking a wicket every 25.6 balls he bowled. Well, well, we have some potential there. I hope he doesn't vanish after this..
Shaun Pollock at No. 2 is no surprise. As reliable as always he has blossomed into a handsome allrounder off late. But his mainstay is bowling, and he took 32 wickets in 21 matches he played, at a miserly economy rate of 2.98 RPO and an average of 17.34 RPW taking a wicket every 34.8 balls he bowled.
Abdur Razzak of Bangladesh is at No. 3 (different from Abdul Razzak of Pakistan). He took 45 wickets in 26 matches he played, at a miserly economy rate of 3.49 RPO and an average of 17.95 RPW taking a wicket every 30.8 balls he bowled.
Leverock of Bermuda at No. 4 took 15 wickets in 11 matches he played, at a miserly economy rate of 3.2 RPO and an average of 20.86 RPW taking a wicket every 39 balls he bowled.

ODI Bowler Rankings 2007 (all teams)
The ODI Bowler's Ranking 2007 is out! in the second edition of Vineet’s Cricket Rankings (Check out the ODI Bowler Rankings 2006 here)! And there are lots of surprises here, but then there are some faces we discovered last year and they still maintain their ranking, proving that they were no flukes, and that includes Varaiya of Kenya! The biggest setback was that the bangladesh bowlers who did exceedingly well in 2006 are now languishing with only Syed Rasel remaining near his last year ranking.
