Who is the best limited over spinner of all time

[Jayro]

Who has been the best limited over international bowler in both 50 overs and t20 cricket?

 

[TheJediBrah]

I think saqlain.

Special mention for Brad Hogg, who was better than Warne IMO

 

[cnerd123]

Rashid is the only one on the list with a significant T20 career

Murali probably the best ODI spinner of all time. Saqlain Mushtaq up there.

Imran Tahir, for some reason, is grossly underrated in ODIs.

I voted 10dulkar but actually yeah he has an incredible record. Even more so in T20Is.

 

[Burgey]

Brad Hogg. 34 wickets across two winning world cups at 19 speaks for itself.

 

[Himannv]

Jadeja

 

[Daemon]

Rashid kinda bottled it big time in his ODI WC, but is probably one of the best ever T20 bowlers.

This goes to Murali I think, unless he didn’t play enough T20s.

 

[Calm_profit]

Jadeja

Jadeja is a flop as Sangakkara in Lois.

 

[subshakerz]

Warne. Three clutch performances in WCs and decent enough stats otherwise.

Saqlain and Murali didnt do enough in WCs.

 

[Gob]

I think saqlain.

short answer no
Long answer nah

 

[honestbharani]

Interesting question. There is no real stand out, so it boils down to opinion, I guess. I feel Warney really brought in ODIs in the WCs and also in the first IPL finals. Maybe if we split this as ODIs and T20s it will be easier.

Probably go with Murali from an overall consistency perspective though. Actually, I think its a coin toss between Murali and Warne. Will call it a draw.

 

[trundler]

Objectively it's Murali. Sustained the level for the longest time but I voted Mushtaq because he was ***ier.

 

[subshakerz]

Murali played in 7 WC semi-finals and finals, and I can't recall a single great performance. He didn't seem to me to be a pressure player.

You don't remember it because you're a ****ing casual and have a poor memory. That doesnt mean he wasn't a big game player. I, being a non casual, remember his spell against nz in 07 where he induced a massive collapse when nz were still in an OK position chasing SL's total.

You have that game to blame for me signing up to this forum.

I turned on the radio, heard shockjock Doug Golightly call Fleming gutless and not trying, decided to go read that message board I found during the Commonwealth Bank Series instead.

Fair enough, I forgot that one since all I remembered was him being decimated by Gilly in the final in that WC.

Still, do you think that is enough evidence that he is a big match player?

He played in three other WC finals and WC semis and you would expect some other major performances.

Gilchrist faced 20 balls from Murali and hit one boundary
