If you lower the mark to 98 test wickets, then surely Sanath Jayasuriya would be a worthy nomination.

Still better than Harris. Was shocked to see that the useless **** had somehow managed to take 103 test scalps.
Always got confused between Wiseman and Spearman.

Wiseman doesn't have a 100 test wickets. Neither does Raju..

And Nicky Boje among specialist spinners, it has to be.
Ganguly could deposit him in different parts of any stadium whenever he wanted to...

He actually averaged 24 against India. No doubt he was pretty average but what Ganguly could or couldn't do to him seems like a poor example...

Interesting to see that Tuffers is the worst statistically who was only in the team as a bowler. Most of the others on that 'worst' list that Hurricane posted up offered something with the bat. Pretty harsh on Tuffers though who was a better bowler than that IMO.

Paul Harris doesn't offer anything with the bat.

Haha yeah I know, and Ganguly's example was a light-hearted comment and mainly based on ODIs - so not of any relevance here, or not a reason why I vote for Boje here.
Whenever Ganguly didn't hit a six to a delivery of Boje it seemed like a merciful act he was doing TBF.

Well STFU then.

Offers considerably more than Tuffers considering their averages are about the same. That said, I'd say Tuffers was considerably better with the ball than Harris; even if the averages don't bear that out.
