Top 5 death bowlers in ODI cricket today

4. Jade Dernbach (England)

More than just a cricketer, the South Africa-born Dernbach is a rebel. Tattoos on both arms, a sometimes-outlandish hairdo and loads of skill in bowling during the final stages of an innings give one the impression that he is a rock star in the guise of a sportsman.

Dernbach used to be very profligate early in his career when batsmen would go after him without fear, but over time, he has reinvented himself as a strike bowler in the limited-overs format. A curious mixture of slower balls, faster ones, yorkers and bouncers have helped in his recent successes.

He was one of the architects of England’s T20 victory over Australia in August this year, and has also done well against India in recent times. A fine bowler, the young man!
