Someone changed their vote from spin to pace, perhaps in anticipation of the poll opening lol

Anyway, I prefer to watch spin because (a) it's much clearer to see and (b) it results in more fun cricket; watching spin be smashed is pretty delightful (whereas constant flicks and hooks aren't as enjoyable for me)

It’s effete.

And also far too conditions dependent to be even worthy of comparison with fast bowling

Fast bowling is better to watch and also plays a bigger role in Test Cricket than spin bowling across conditions.

In all honesty I always found watching a great wrist spinner at work to be more absorbing than a menacing fast bowler or a high quality swing exponent. The Murali-Warne-Kumble era was a great time to be a cricket fan.

Genuine fast bowling is way better watch than anything in cricket.

But i prefer spin to pseudo fast bowling like that of Mcgrath.
