Lara and Sehwag at the top, Sanga at the bottom(not that he’s not a very good player of spin, just relative to others). Younis Khan close to the top, but Lara the best ever purely for the 2001 tour to SL

Yeah, Sehwag against spin was a foregone conclusion. If he had even a modicum of restraint, he'd never have gotten out to a spinner.

Younis Khan batting averages in Asia :

Bangladesh - 600 runs @100.67
India - 768 runs @76.80
Sri Lanka - 1172 runs @45.08
Pakistan - 1898 runs @59.31
UAE - 2484 runs @55.20


Even his 4th innings record vs Asian teams is impressive ..

578 runs @52.54

Definitely slept on in this group if you don't have him in the top 8.
