Batsmen dismissed 'bowled' most times

Hmm. When I read the subject line, I thought of something else - viz. a
question that popped up last night during the India/Pakistan test. VVS Laxman
was bowled by Wasim Akram for 35. This means he's now played 17 completed
innings, and been bowled 6 times (also LBW 5 times) - that sounded like a
pretty high "bowled" ratio to me for a top order batsman. Who would the top
bats in that list be, if Aslam knows? I presume there are several tailenders,
which is why the question was intended more for, say, top 6 bats.

Sadiq [ who wonders if we should nickname him "Woodfull" ] Yusuf

First two questions - who should be named "Woodfull", me, Sadiq or Laxman? and
why?
