Saeed Ajmal vs Harbhajan Singh

[PlayerComparisons]

Two very good off spinners that had some incredible series

 

[trundler]

Ajmal wasn't a bowler but he had a better test career.

Battle of the chuckers. Ajmal wins this one.

Of course if it's about bowlers then only Harbhajan counts.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I haven't been able to look at Ajmal's career seriously ever since he got convicted of chucking , it's almost like his entire career was just a passing phase and doesn't have any credibility...I guess a bowler chucking is a lot like doping in cycling , once you get done it doesn't matter what you've achieved ..So I look at Ajmal as the Lance Armstrong of spin bowling.

Ajmal became irrelevant after M. Hussey spanked him in the semifinal of that WC in 2010

 

[Burgey]

Couple of the more interesting finger spinner actions

Murali, surely?

 

[Kirkut]

Ajmal against England in 2012 has to be among the best bowling performances I've watched.

Wasn't Murali legal ?

 

[duffer]

Wasn't Murali legal ?

Imo, not quite but I liked the guy

 

[Burgey]

duffer bringing racist tropes to the thread

I have Lankan friends but

 

[Flem274*]

Ajmal hucked it but at least he could clean his shoes without throwing a sook like an entitled, self consumed bitch.

Ajmal by a mile.

Well it wasn't a bowling performance to start with...

The Armstrong comparison is a bit inaccurate on the basis that while he certainly was juiced up to the eyeballs, so was pretty much everyone else vaugely relevant in that era of cycling. While most of the Tour de France peleton were going around the Champs-Elysees, the first clean blokes were practically half way back to Marseille

True your explanation makes more sense than mines

Legality is really not an opinion though. Fact is, his action was as legal as every other action going around.

Yeah, right...
