I really like Shastri, but you can't go past the man with the diabolical action.

 

[Pratters]

Murali. Next please.

 

[nightprowler10]

Thanks for putting the stats up SS, but why only tests?

Because I wanted real stats only.

Tough lot for Shastri.

Lol, alright. I can see that point when talking about English or Australian cricket, but ODIs have played a big role in the sub-continent.

Shastri's good, but Murali's better!

Coming to this thread late (as in, about half an hour ago), it was good to see Roy Dias mentioned - if his career had started ten years later, he'd have played dozens more Tests and probably have made the final list.

The same goes for Duleep Mendis, who my dad always rated very highly indeed.

If you care about ODI, you can click on the name and find out . I'll include ODI's when comparing players who've mainly only played ODI's.

Shastri was a good player and a top commentator IMO, but its has to be the Legendary but contriversial off-spinner.
