It's an unwritten rule of this place that it's Tests unless specifically stated otherwise. And now you've made me write it.

Think the general CW rule is that if there's no mention of a particular format, they mean tests.

Edit: Damn it Cribb.

sorry test cricket

Xuhaib · 18-12-2012, 06:43 AM

don't think Ajmal is a clear number one unless he has atleast one good series outside Asia and Windies.I will go for Swann due to more well rounded record atm.

Swann
Ajmal
Hearth
Rehman
Monty
Shakib
Ojha

NasserFan207 · 18-12-2012, 06:46 AM

Swann/Ajmal are around the same for me.

Herath would be next best, and then any of Ojha, Narine, Panesar, Rehman, lyon, Ashwin

Shakib has done **** all with the ball for a while now unfortunately, dropped down my order

Daemon · 18-12-2012, 08:20 AM

What about Imran Tahir guys?

smalishah84 · 18-12-2012, 08:23 AM

he is at a different level altogether...can't be bunched with mere mortals

Tbf, that won't be many completed 4 test series in India and Mushtaq took them in 3 IIRC.

smalishah84 · 18-12-2012, 11:18 AM

yeah....saqlain took 20 wickets in 3 tests. He also had 2 fers or something IIRC

smalishah84 · 18-12-2012, 11:20 AM

yeah and this was only a season after Warne had been destroyed by Sachin and Co. Was a genuine big 3 during that time period along with Warne and Murali.

Pup Clarke · 18-12-2012, 01:15 PM

1. Swann
2. Ajmal
3. Monty
4. Jeets/Shakib
5. Rehman

Agent Nationaux · 18-12-2012, 01:19 PM

Ajmal/Swann
Monty
Hareth

Don't know about the rest except that Tahir is right at the bottom.

I think Ajmal needs to prove that he is good enough to be at the top for the series in RSA. Abdul Rahman had one good series against England which doesn't mean anything much at the moment.

morgieb · 18-12-2012, 01:24 PM

Ajmal
Swann
Herath
Panesar
Lyon
Shakib
Rehman

Odd that all the good spinners these days are offies.

Given how well spinners are supposed to age him and Bhajji have to take a long hard look at themselves.
