Who is the 3rd spinner?

[steds]

It's gotta be Dave Mohammed.

1/ Bangladesh?
2/ I wouldn't consider Alok Kapali as a world class spinner

I think he meant Anil Kumble

 

[superkingdave]

I think he meant Anil Kumble

As Lunn Polly would have said "Get Away"

Actually i think he meant the former wicketkeeper Alan Knott, he used to bowl a bit of off spin and i hear he's still in better physical shape than Ashley Giles - His first class wickets include Mark Butchers dad

1. "Juan Carlos" Giles
2. Dave Mohammed (what a name!!)
3. Kaushal Lokuarachchi (what a name!!)
4. Enamul Haque Junior (the only non-American I've ever seen who bothers to put "Jr" at the end of his name!)

I've voted for Kumble, because I reckon he's bottom of Div 1 while Giles and Harbhajan vie for top of Div 2.

Except - what has Harbhajan actually done these last two years?

He has a magnificent reputation deriving from his 32 wickets against Australia a few years ago, but he can't go on dining out on that old tale for much longer. He maintains a high ranking in the PWC tables, but that's because all that's happening is he gets docked 1% of his points each time India play and he isn't in the team.

Cheers,

Mike

Raymond Price, none of those other guys come close to the Raymeister.

It's a real shame he'll never play international cricket again.

Raymond Price is a class act.. We havent just lost Heath Streak and the Flowers, oh no...

Kaushal Lokuarachchi (what a name!!)

Closely matched on the name front by
Hamilton Masakadza and Arnoldus Mauritius Blignaut

Saqlain Mushtaq would be my choice.. i used to watch the brudda bowl lots when i was a young'n and got most of my inspiration from him.. he was a hard working bowler and peformer and i think after he fell of later on i moved on to murali.. but i think his overall record against most countries is quite good..

 

[pakster]

I would have voted for Saqlain, but since he isnt there...I went for Kaneria - no bias influenced my decision

We're all sure there wasn't...

Kumble, cos I have to pick from the list. Saqlain if I didn't.

Giles as #3? You're having a laugh? I'd like to see him turn it at the Wanderers. Adams is better than him. *duck*

And Boje...

And Nicky can hold a bat

And Nicky can hold a bat

Giles can use his though

 

[Neil Pickup]

On today's performances...

Giles 10-0-25-1
Kumble 6.2-0-57-0

Just goes to show what a poor idea judging on one ODI is, then, doesn't it?

Saqlain and Harbhajan, the true pioneers of the true Doosra, are no more than slightly-better-than-normal fingerspinners.
Murali is totally incomparable to either - indeed, he's totally incomparable to anyone... except, evidently, Tareq Mahmood. Equally, his wrong-'un is no Doosra like Saqlain and Harbhajan.
Personally I went for Danish Kaneria - the new Mushtaq Ahmed... I hope. Still doesn't spin the ball as much as Mushie, but he has one priceless asset - accuracy. He can learn to spin the ball more - no-one can learn his accuracy.
Fingerspinners are no match for wristspinners, ever. But of course Kumble is not a normal wristspinner.
