An Extinct Breed ?: Great spin bowling allrounders

[honestbharani]

Just like KL Rahul who was also doing pilot duties outside of his cricket work.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Wait what

He's right

 

[aussie tragic]

Can't believe noone has mentioned Jadeja and Ashwin as spinner allrounders....oh wait they'd barely played the last time this thread was commented on before Redsok dug it back up for no reason

Vettori was the better bowler, with a lot more variety and trickery... He was also an extremely "underrated" great lower order batsman. The greatest NZ player of all time. He was the heart and soul of the New Zealand cricket team.

It was such a HORSESH*T cricket team and cricket country back then.. that Vettori had to update the NZ cricket websites all by himself as well. Barely got any financial help, or much help on the pitch either. Even as a lower order batsman, he was constantly saving NZ with his batting, then with his bowling.
It was that bad.. If only he could play in today's golden era NZ lineup. If only..

id bench him in asia for ajaz and somerville

he also did all the washing. don't forget that part, and he never wore a box because they didn't come in sizes big enough.

You joke but some of us genuinely struggle with this

Well this is mostly bull****. Not necesarily the "who is better part" but suggesting that Shakib has had a hard time with conditions bowling spin is hilarious. He's played nearly 80% of his Test cricket in Asia which has been as friendly for spin bowling as ever.

I can easily point out that Keith Miller played 90% of his matches outside Asia which in conducive to pace. And to be worse, India an Pakistan were minnows during those days.

Why are you like this

 

[ankitj]

Jadeja single-handedly revived this breed of cricketers

 

[trundler]

Right now we have Shaky Bull and Jadeja to compete with Stokes and Holder. Given that there are more pacers around than spinners, this is a ripe era for spin bowling all rounders.

 

[ankitj]

And then Ashwin can bat

You have got the biggest inferiority complex I've ever seen

Miller would’ve absolutely dominated it in the SC, and some of that might’ve been on the field.

Just pointing out your flawed argument, yeah it seems I have touched a raw nerve.

Not even close to the extent Imran did, on or off.

You are making absolutely no sense and I don't think you even know what my "argument" was

every time you erroneously perceive the slightest hint of "sOmEoNe sAy sOmEtHiNg bAd aBoUt suBcOnTiNeNt" you lose all ability at coherent thought

gross

but true
