[King_Kohli]

[Ab Fan]

Mine would be

Murali
-----gap------
Kumble
Ashwin
Qadir
Bedi

 

[Mesozoic]

Murali
Ashwin
Kumble
Herath
Saqlain

 

[Ab Fan]

I would take Kumble over Ashwin because of his performance in Australia and South Africa. Without the support of fast bowlers, he did well there, particularly against that ATG Aussies side.

Ashwin possess more skills than Kumble but has never run through any lineup in SENA. Even Harbhajan has done better than Ash.

 

[Kingpin786]

murali
kumble
saqlain
herath
ashwin

 

[MMHS]

My five will be

1. Murali
2. ** Bedi
- Saqlain
- This one not sure between Qadir, Gupte, Chandra & Kumble - probably Qadir
- Herath

First two are in order, next three - anyone can put in any order.

 

[Srtfan]

Murli
Kumble
Herath
Ashwin
Bedi

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Murali
Abdul qadir
saqlain
Saeed ajmal
herath

 

[Ab Fan]

Saqlain Mushtaq
Mushtaq Ahmed
Danish Kaneria
Saeed Ajmal
Mushtaq Mohammad
Jaddu

You can remove these players form the list

Saqlain was brilliant.

 

[King_Kohli]

Saqlain was brilliant.

How many wickets he took in test cricket?

 

[tyron_woodley]

murali
ashwin
jadeja
kumble
hearth

perfect top 5.



No overrated Qadir, mushtaq, bedi and saqlain. All mediocre bowlers.

 

[Ab Fan]

How many wickets he took in test cricket?

He got about 200 test wickets but more importantly did well in India where Murali and Warne failed. A very good test spinner but fell apart from getting 200 wickets.

 

[Last Monetarist]

1. Murali
2. Herath
3. Qadir
4. Bedi
5. Kumble

 

[Mobashir]

2. Saqlain
3. Qadir
4. Kumble
5. Mushi

Only leggies, apart from Saqlain who was himsled a magician.

 

[ShahidDar08]

Murli
Saqlain Mushtaq
Saeed Ajmal
Anil Kumble
Harbhajan Singh
Mushtaq Ahmad
Rangana Herath

 

[Ab Fan]

What I have noticed is that Pakistan produces more talented spinners but its India that produces better ones.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Test

Murli

Light years

Qadir
Hearath
Kumble
Mustaq


ODI
Murli
Saqlain
Harbajan
Daylight

Ashwin



Ashwin in test is only if u playing in india ... outside india NOTHINg
similarly Yasir Shah, in subcontinent, mainly UAE and England AMAZING.. outside tht, NOTHING

 

[King_Kohli]

He got about 200 test wickets but more importantly did well in India where Murali and Warne failed. A very good test spinner but fell apart from getting 200 wickets.

Those number not enough to list him in top5

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Murali, that's it.

 

[Ab Fan]

Murali, that's it.

And what if Darrell Hair and Ross Emerson are umpires.

Ravindra Jadeja? Think he averaged about 35 outside Asia.

Ravindra Jadeja? Think he averaged about 35 outside Asia.

I omitted bowlers who took less than 50 wickets on non asian pitches. Jadeja at present has 43 wickets with 36.39 average.

Not an issue, I see 49 wickets in that list so I doubted.

Kumble

 

[jeetu]

Not an issue, I see 49 wickets in that list so I doubted.

Sorry about that , wonky mouse button has been getting me in trouble all day. Need to use soldering iron to fix that.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Lol @ kumble in these clowns. An overrated and mediocre leg spinner who couldn't turn the ball at all. Only because he played a lot of tests and India had no other options. Don't be fooled by the Indians spamming his name, he is just an above average player.

8 wicket haul vs GOAT batting lineup in their own backyard, enuff said!

Kumble is very under rated, he was also the fastest Indian pacer at the time

 

[KP From India]

Still won his side nearly as many tests as Few so called ATG batsmen on PP.

 

[Ab Fan]

Kumble is very under rated, he was also the fastest Indian pacer at the time

600+ wickets are quite an achievement for the pacer from any country and it includes a 8-fer in Sydney against ATG Australian lineup.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Are we still calling Kumble a spinner?

 

[tyron_woodley]

Kumble is very under rated, he was also the fastest Indian pacer at the time

yea faster than abbas.

 

[shaz619]

yea faster than abbas.

Abbas isn't an 'Id'nian

 

[shaz619]

600+ wickets are quite an achievement for the pacer from any country and it includes a 8-fer in Sydney against ATG Australian lineup.

An impressive resume indeed

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Ajmal should never be included in this list. He chucked throughout his career and we are talking 40-45 degrees. With a straight arm he was poor and his career ended.
