Who is the best limited over spinner of all time

[Daemon]

It may haunt you, but he picked it, played it, showed the way it was bowled, and then decided he cannot bowl it without chucking as well (Dharmasena's usual deliveries were dodgy too). That was the reason Murali has to master his own version for next 3 - 4 years. There is no co incidence that Jayasuriya and Aravinda were the first batsmen to tore in to Saqlain on frequent basis in late 90s.

Kumar Dharmasena is as blind as Shady Slim following the CCP. I want to believe this but how are you sure he figured it out first?

no one else said so in late 90s. Murali in one of his intreviews say that SL has figured out how Saqlain was doing it but they could not reproduce it. I doubt even today any one can reproduce his doosra.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Otherwise Brad Hogg would be ahead of Murali.

I don't see the problem

Haha it really was peak Migara to claim a Sri Lankan #8 did that. Even if it's true, absolutely peak Migara to bring it up in that way.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I personally figured out the doosra a long time ago, I just didn't tell anyone. I also never used it in a game myself because I have too much integrity.

I find this hard to believe. Are you even Sri Lankan?

 

[nightprowler10]

I mastered the doosra in elementary school in the early 90s by always finishing 2nd in every race.

I've been a leading authority on the doosra for ages now, but have only used my knowledge in the bedroom.

Thought it was the teesra

which one of cnerd and gotspin did u give ur password to ?

 

[Zinzan]

pre ~ 2005: WCs >>>>> else
post~2005: WCs >>>>>>>> else

Correction - 1975 -1983 WCs > everything else
1987-2015 - WC = everything else
2019 - WC > everything else (especially World Test championship Cup)

Not complicated...

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Saqlain and Murali didnt do enough in WCs.

Both were extremely important for their teams winning the WC.

 

[subshakerz]

Both were extremely important for their teams winning the WC.

Except they weren't. Saqlain was never in a WC win and Murali didnt really do much in his.

 

[Jack1]

Shane Warne.

 

[The_CricketUmpire]

I know this is an old thread but there is a big case that Saqlain is certainly up there. 208 wickets in ODI's at an average of 21.78....for a finger spinner that is outstanding. Good strike rate too......30.4......also he averaged 1.74 wickets per innings in ODI cricket which is very good.

 

[Kirkut]

Saqlain fir me, but Rashid Khan may catch up.

 

[Ali TT]

If we're basing this on internationals, then no chance Rashid Khan can be on the list. He's just not played the major nations enough to be in consideration.

Yeah, I'd have Imran Tahir as the 4th best behind Murali, Saqlain, and Warne.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Saqlain was as lethal as Donald or Starc.
No other spinner evoked that kind of fear.
1. Saqlain
2. Murali

Yeah. He held the record for fastest 100 wickets. Don't know if he still has it. He even used to routinely bowl at death. Absolute legend in ODI cricket.
