Dennis Lillee and Rod Marsh – Australia
Dennis Lillee and the legendary wicket-keeper Rod Marsh of Australia’s were infamously successful and competitive in the test team during 1970s and early 80s. Lillee and Marsh were both wildly successful in their respective roles. The paceman had a total of 355 test wickets and the keeper achieved extraordinary symmetry by recording 355 dismissals of his own (343 catches and 12 stumpings). The 95 wickets which the pair combined for came between 1971 and 1984 and took only 69 matches.
Glenn McGrath and Adam Gilchrist – Australia
This bowler and wicket-keeper combination is one of the most successful in Australian cricket history. Glenn McGrath troubled batsman even on sub-continent tracks. His consistency was unparalleled on a cricket pitch. As his inch-perfect lengths piled on the misery on the opposition. And if there was no Adam Gilchrist behind the stumps then McGrath might not be successful bowler. This partnership picked 90 wickets in 71 test matches from 1999 to 2007.
Muttiah Muralitharan and Mahela Jayawardene – Sri Lanka
Cricket fan admires Muralitharan and Mahela Jayawardene’s on-field chemistry. Both these legends were a part of the golden generation of cricketers for Sri Lankan cricket. The Mahela-Muralitharan partnership was indeed quite special. The duo managed a total of 77 dismissals which is just a fraction of Muralitharan’s 800 scalps.
Makhaya Ntini and Mark Boucher – South Africa
Makhaya Ntini and Mark Boucher played together for the South African team for almost 10 years. It is one of the lesser known partnerships in world cricket. Ntini and Boucher’s wonderful combination accounted for 84 dismissals in just 96 matches. Ntini retired in 2009 after pairing up with Boucher for almost 10 years, accumulating an impressive 390 wickets for South Africa.
Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid – India
The combination of these two Indian cricketers was world famous. We are yet to see another slip field like we have seen Dravid.

The duo managed a total of 55 wickets in 107 matches together.
