Don't mind Ali, didn't get to see the Tests where he got most of his wickets.

Be surprised if he got through a 5 test series in Australia though.

How did Vettori get by then? He was a tall finger spinner known for his flight, dip, pace variations etc and not for big spin. Was he just that good at what he was good at that he got away with it?

Pretty much.

Spent the last eight years being hard to get away rather than really tempting blokes to play strokes against him. Unlike before his back issues.

Perera from SL is the best legal off spinner currently, anyone who does well against Amla and AB is automatically better.

Nathan Lyon is the WPNCO (Worlds Premier Non-Chucking Offie). The rest are shamed my comparison with him. It used to be Swan but Lyon so out-bowled him here that Swan retired in disgrace.

Lyon doesn't even turn the ball, he's a hack just like you

I don't think tall or short bowlers have an advantage, it just comes down to how you use your physical attributes, Lyon uses his height well to get bounce and Herath uses his lack of height well to conceal his glorious arm ball

A post about Herath discussing physical attributes and no mention of his awesome fattyness? Poor form.

 

[Maximas]

Indeed, long live phatty

Ramesh Powar couldve been our own awesome right arm fatty. Shame.

Ashwin isn't exactly a shining beacon of athleticism, tbh.

Yeah but he's not short. We want rotund offies.
