This was done 2 years ago; but no poll, so here we are.

The biggest spinner of the cricket ball?

Who was the one who regularly spinned the ball the widest? Warne? Murali? Swann? MacGill? I heard Tim May was a big turner as well.

This will be interesting, as there are no stats for the amount of spin (at least I don't know of any).

He was a big turner of the ball and had the control to go with it. I wish he had a longer international career. It's plausible he wouldn't have been as good as spinners frequently peak in their early 30s.

He’s not in contention for this poll. Nowhere near guys like Warne, Murali and MacGill. I haven’t seen much of Qadir but enough of Swann that he’s not in this conversation.

Fair enough. I can't really comment on this. I don't think I've watched enough spin bowlers regularly. Especially as the answer to the question can be a more obscure name who just didn't have good enough control.

Jadeja seeing as the batsmen often play to some crazy spin that doesn’t exist and he just rips it right through
He’s spun their mind into a frenzy

Swann bowled big offbreaks, but obviously bowling finger spin you have a disadvantage. Leggies just rip it further.

“Sharp” maybe. But nowhere near those top 3 guys. Its just adding a name to the poll for no reason.

Anyway as to the question, there’s probably some blokes in the IPL or BBL ripping it these days right?
