[HouHsiaoHsien]

Murali is a top 5 bowler. Not close

 

[sayon basak]

Murali is a top 5 bowler. Not close

Botham is a top 5 all rounder tho

 

[Johan]

don't really think any spinner is a top 5 bowler of all time but Murali got this one.

I think on Cw the consensus is that the top 5 is Marshall, McGrath, Hadlee, Warne, and Murali

Lame, I'd take Steyn over either of them, Ambrose too, Lillee/Trueman vs Warne/Murali is probably close.

Murali is rated higher than Warne.

 

[Johan]

that's a tragedy

Lol no.

Murali is rated higher than Warne.

Who is the greatest test spinner of all time?

I think these are the main candidates. Who do you rate the highest?

Looks pretty equal. I don’t have a strong opinion on it.

 

[Johan]

Lol no.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Marshall
Steyn
Mcgrath
Hadlee
Murali

my top 5(then Imran, Ambrose, Warne, Lillee, Donald/Wasim)

I'm a no when it comes to Ambrose.

Lillee/Trueman aren't close with Warne/Murali

(Also, discuss in a different thread. Can't say Warne/Murali together or the mods will get angry)

 

[Prince EWS]

Botham is a top 5 all rounder tho

I really don't think he is.

 

[Johan]

Lillee/Trueman aren't close with Warne/Murali

True, I don't think Fred was close with anyone in his later years, Lillee and Warne were probably too egoistical to get close.

 

[Prince EWS]

Not sure about this at all. Imran, Steyn and Ambrose definitely have fans here that could put them ahead of the spinners.

I want to reply to it, but can't say those two names.....

Debatable.

Impact wise Botham struggle to be in top 20.
