Who is the best left arm spinner of the world?

Heh

 

[jammay123]

It has to be monty.

i agree with andmark

It's not just to you. I believe it's been reported/corrected once, but it still looks horrible.

Rzzak still bends his a arm a lot while bowling. But it is 12 degrees and that is less than the allowed 15 degrees.

He was reported once a couple of years back cause then the limit was 10 degress I think.

People like Harbhajan, Shaoib Malik and Muralitharan bend as much as Razzak. But they all bend less than 15 degrees.

 

[tigerPassion]

Enamul Jr is the best for me.......he will achieve a lot more than any other in the list including Vettori........Infact even now he is a better spinner than Rafique and Razzak who are doing pretty good in the WC.....he will be Bangladesh's equivalent of Muralitharan

 

[Salamuddin]

Probably Mudhsudhan Singh I would say.

TBH, unless you have equipment to measure every delivery he bowls out in the middle, there is no way for you to know that.

There was this pakistan left arm spinner who played in their home series against Windies. He was really good, forgot his name though. He even managed to keep Lara reasonably quiet bowling in the 43rd over or so.....


But obviously, Vettori is the best around in this category.

When he was tested the maximum he bended was 12 degrees which is within the limits. Players like Harbhajan, Muralitharan, Shoaib Akhtar, Shoaib Malik and Brett Lee have been playing with suspect action all throughout their career, but with ICC changing the limit to 15 degrees mean that everybody can chuck a little and so all of their action is within the ICC limits.

Yeah, he's actually on the poll. Rehman.

Vettori - I think about the long haul. Monty has played international cricket for a year. Let's see where he is in five years time. I think if Bangladesh played more test cricket Rafique would be up there but a bit of me thinks there are not a lot of good ones around .Dave Mohammad? Ashley Giles? Paul Adams? Please....

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Vettori or Rafique in tests and Hoggy in one dayers.

Come to think of it, they are all pretty average in the longer form.

 

[cricman]

Rafique did have match figures of 9/160 vs Australia, I've voted for Vettori but Rafique is just as good as him.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Dave Mohammed by default.

 

[shortpitched713]

Its gotta be Dan Vettori in both forms of the game. Razzak looks impressive in ODIs though, and as bad as his action looks I think they would have reported it by this stage of the World Cup if he was straightening over 15 degrees.

 

[jonny1408]

i would say panesar has the potential to be the best test left armer in the world and hogg will be the best ODI left arm spinner and with vettori best actual spinner cos hes can do both very well

 

[prakesh]

Vettori, as it has been for ages now.

It made me sick how Panesar has a decent series or two, nothin spectacular & Fletcher (amongst others, Botham etc) instantly declared him the best in the world.

All the idiots had forgotten vettori, who had the injuries & has to bowl half his deliveries on freezing cold green tops...which seemingly wasn't taken into account.

How Can Dave Mohammed be a better bowler than Rafique?

I don't get the Dave Mohammed thing. Can someone please enlighten me?

Dave Mohammad? Ashley Giles? Paul Adams? Please....

*Adds names to "the list"*

Oh, and Dasgupta. It's because he's pretty much God. He's got it all. The awesome chinaman bowling; the dashing good looks and that suave moustache; the cavalier lower order batting; the coolest name in the world; the hard-luck, getting beat on by the man story. Gun cricketer and coolest bloke.

I always thought it was purely his name

Understandable. Coming from Yorkshire, I wouldn't expect you to appreciate the nuances of wrist spin, nor it's practitioners.

I'm sort of used to those jokes now, I don't get annoyed any more
