Battle of The Spinners

[Dravid]

Ramahdin

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ramadhin for me. Largely an instinctive call as I haven't seen any of the players bowl to any meaningful degree. Any spinner who turns it both ways must be an enormous boon to any team tho. Interesting that cricinfo says his leg-breaks (which I'm presuming were standard as opposed to Doosras) were delivered "with no discernible change of action".

I cannot believe I am voting against Gupte.

Lock

 

[Dasa]

Gupte.

 

[Perm]

I'll go for Subhash Gupte mainly for what Sir Gary Sobers said about him.

 

[adharcric]

Definitely Gupte.

 

[Slifer]

This Tony Lock looks a very good bowler but Ill go with Gupte

 

[oz_fan]

Lock just over Gupte

 

[cameeel]

Lock

 

[adharcric]

I cannot believe I am voting against Gupte.

Then don't vote against Gupte. Trust your gut.

 

[The Sean]

A toughie, as no less a judge than Sobers himself actually rates Gupte the best leggie he ever saw, even better than Warney.

But I think Lock his horrendously underrated having played in Laker's shadow for so long, so I'm going with Lock

 

[Goughy]

Lock

 

[nightprowler10]

Lock, just.
