Nah Viv was easily a better player of pace than Sidhu was of spin. Sidhu definitely being overrated in this thread

Its obvious to anyone who has actually watched cricket that Sidhu was, at best, equal 3rd when it comes to playing spin in the 90s side - Sachin, Azhar and I would put Kambli at the same level as Sidhu when it comes to smacking spin.

The statsguru salty needs to take a hike. The CC forum is always better when they post lesser and actual discussions take place than the biased crap they drool out.

Kambli was reduced to rubble by Murali once he developed the doosra. So was Ganguly. Both these bashed Murali pre-doosra era. Then cam doosra and left handers found it wanting.

That would be Shewag. May be Gilchrist against pace.

Its just sad now

Stop calling him Shewag ffs

Should be a ban tbh, if you can't bother to spell properly.

I think the 2008 tour to SL solidified in my mind that Sehwag was the next level of spin playing, as others like Tendulkar and Laxman floundered against Murali and Mendis.
