5 non-subcontinent pacers who excelled in the subcontinent

#2 Courtney Walsh

In the period 1986-97, Walsh played 17 Tests in Asia and picked 77 wickets at an average of 20.53. He has five 5-wicket hauls to his name, four of which came in losing causes.

Out of the 17 games West Indies won four, in which Walsh managed to pick 21 wickets at an average of 16.04 with one 5-wicket haul.

#1 Dale Steyn

Dale Steyn was one of the major factors why South Africa succeeded in Asia

One of the greatest and most fearsome fast bowlers of all time, Dale Steyn has the most wickets as a non-Asian pacer in Asia. In the period of 2006-18, Steyn played 22 games and picked 92 wickets at an average of 24.11. He has five 5-wicket hauls to his name in addition to a solitary 10-wicket haul.

From the 22 Tests Steyn played, South Africa won seven, in which he picked 51 wickets at an average of 13.25. Four of his 5-wicket hauls and his only 10-wicket haul came in winning causes.

Steyn was one of the major reasons why South Africa did not lose a single Test series in Asia in the period 2007-15.
