The Rashid and Mujeeb question got me thinking who are the top five spinners you've seen? Mine would be something like

Warne
Murali
Swann
Kumble
Herath

in that order. Ashwin is closing in on Herath aws

Ashwin > Kumble any day.

And goes without saying that Jadeja was better too.

I think Richie gets overlooked from a playing POV because he was such a commentary legend for so long. By all reports he took a while to become very good, but then he excelled. And apparently a crazy good captain. Will always have the match in the 61 Ashes as his own, and played a huge part in the Tied Test series becoming what it was. Could easily have looked to play out a draw on day five in Brisbane. Takes some balls to try to chase down 230 odd from 6/92.

Take this man's opinion very seriously, Burgey coached Richie Benaud as a kid.

Srinath was hardly "world class". Apart from Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka (where he would've been behind Streak and Vaas), how many teams would he have made in the 90s? He wouldn't have made NZ or England's 1st choice XI in the 90s, let alone Pakistan, South Africa, Australia, or the Windies.

Srinath was at same level as Damien Fleming (Test bowler not ODI) , Kasprowicz, Aaqib Javed (3rd best pace bowler of Pak in 90s iirc). So forget ENG/ NZ ,he would have also made AUS, Pak team as 3rd pacer .
