Greatest 'medium slow' spinner

I don't need to, because the forum's already made up it's mind that the best spinners in Aus, Eng will also be great in India. Not to mention bowling spin everywhere is pretty much the same? Anyone who's watched Sehwag will know that he's easily one of the top 10 players of spin the last 30 or even 50 years of cricket. Also that batting on a day 3/4/5 Indian minefied, against Indian spinners, is like a totally diferent ballgame than playing some of the others in say Eng, Aus.

Objectively speaking you can't compare spinners from vastly different eras, subjectively of course - Don is the best player of spin ever.

In case you're wondering - here's the typo, fixed -
If you can't rate post WWII spinners then you can't rate anyone who's played since WWII. So you've just ruled out Warne, Murali, Kumble, whoever else you've seen play. And given you've also ruled out pre-WWI spinners as well, you've basically ruled out almost every spinner in the history of the game, leaving a tiny sliver for those who played between the wars.

Don't think so.

He wrote Pre WWII and Post WWII, the remaining sliver is even smaller given German forces marched into Poland in September 1 1939, and V day over Japan was September 2 1945.
