Mankad by miles.

Illingworthby an absolute mile

Mankad

Even as a Yorkshireman I can confidently say Illingworth was a pretty average bowler. As are most offies in general. Therefore I think Mankad is a clear winner here.

Mankad

Not a great round though, Illy and Mankads achievements were more as all-rounders then purely as spinners.

 

[chaminda_00]

SLA

Still an offie, he just bowls them left handed.

 

[chaminda_00]

There hasn't been a vote for a while and Mankad looks a clear winnings, so i'll end it.

Mankad 8, Yardley 2, Illingworth 1 - Mankad through

Rhodes

First-class record is incomparable, and as others have said his bowling prime may not have coincided with test cricket.

Wardles also one of the triumvirate of great Yorkshire SLAs, and by many accounts should of played ahead of Lock in many test matches, but Wilfred wins out.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wardle for me.

 

[oz_fan]

Wardle just over Rhodes.
