Any one else on the Qadir-is-overrated bandwagon here?

Yes and Gupte is underrated IMO. 4th or even 3rd greatest leggie perhaps.

Yeah, that home/away record is illuminating. Good aesthetics and I respect a leggie strutting his stuff when everyone was obsessed with short-pitched fast bowling but I don't think he was all that special of a bowler, think even the Mushtaq's were better.

Well, Yes. But if you are trying to make sense of the rankings - I tend to take total wickets taken as an important metric.

Yep. Was living on the fame of the jaffas he produced time an time again. In the mean time, he was bowling tripe.
Chandra is underrated. You don't get many spinners that made the master blasters of their eras to look foolish. Chandra and Kumble have definitely done that. O'Riely > Warne > Chandra > Kumble and the rest. I am still in a spin how to rate Danish Kaneria.

Gupte vs Chandra?

This had me in a tizzy too. Ended up ranking them 5th and 6th. But Chandra could easily be 5th in my book.

I take Gupte since he had the better away record. It is also said about Chandra that he got figured out in the end and lost effectiveness when batsmen started playing him as a medium pacer so I ended up with Gupte.

Both MacGill and Ironmonger in the top 10 is.. err.. questionable.

More like ridiculous or outrageous.

His biggest rival was Kamran Akmal, not opposition batsmen.

There's nothing crazy about rating MacGill at a similar level or arguably better than blokes like Gupte and Chandra who no one's questioning being ranked i the top 10
Ironmonger managed to average like 17, regardless of conditions or the shortness of his career it bares consideration
Anyone this **** would be boring if everyone voted for the same people
