The majority of bowlers aspire to be ranked #1 in the ICC Test rankings, but maintaining that level is far harder than it first appears because players may have bad days.
The record for the most days as the top bowler in tests is held by Dale Steyn. In international cricket, the South African speedster was a revelation, and the batsmen always had to contend with his raw pace.
For 2343 days, he was ranked #1 in the ICC test rankings. Steyn is regarded as one of the best bowlers of the contemporary era, having taken 439 wickets at an average of 22.9 in 93 Test matches.
