South Africa's lower middle order don't play spin too brilliantly either. Herath really has had some good batting line ups to feast on in the last year and a bit.

Yeah, noone plays spin well so Ajmal, Swann, Ojha etc are all just opportunists.

instead of Pakistan, England, Australia, South Africa and NZ, he should have been playing WI and Bangladesh to really prove his worth.

etc. etc. Unless we want to just remove all test nations except Australia.

Bloke has done well this year. 50+ wickets at an average below 23. Hardly got most of those from the "long handle". Credit where its due.

He's a decent bowler having a good year.

Nah leave Fatty Herath alone will you. Chawla, Ashwin and a bunch of other Indian spinners are way better to make fun of.

I actually really like Herath. Probably the 3rd best spinner in the world right now, if not the second.
