Best spinner other than Warne & Murali

[Prince EWS]

How did Vettori end up runner up in this poll?

Yeah that's wild.

I don't know I can understand it. Other than Kumble all the others have question marks re. longevity at least

 

[trundler]

Should be runner up from the bottom and that's because Giles is there for some reason.

You don't rate Lyon because longevity is overrated but you think Vettori has a case to be better than MacGill or Saqlain?

He's probably just saying he can understand other people going that way.

 

[Ali TT]

Disappointed not to see Mohammad Rafique and Prosper Utseya as options

 

[Prince EWS]

I think it's particularly wild because if you just really cared about longevity you should vote for Kumble. I can see why the others would have got votes if people valued other things, but under what criteria is Vettori the best? Kumble had more longevity and was better in terms of quality - the others all had better short peaks (except Giles lol, and maybe Kaneria).

He's also ranked above Kumble on my standardised averages thing lol, but I do think it over-reacts to spin-friendly conditions.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Lol if you don't have a handsomeness metric

No I just said I can understand why. If I'm picking a spinner for a Test match Vettori is the 2nd last of that bunch I'd pick after Giles

I love how Giles has nearly ten percent of the votes in this poll (especially considering the fact that I didn't vote for him).

Got as many votes as Harbhajan.

@subshakerz

Got to remember that Harbs had the weed vote too

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Poll is pointless without Bill O'Reilly and Clarrie Grimmett

I don't recall those blokes playing in 2005 when the poll was made.

 

[sledger]

All votes for Kaneria should be discounted as well, on account of him being a cheat

Yeah I realised it was an ancient thread so deleted my post

Imagine how much better Kaneria's stats would be if he was trying to win.

Or if Kakmal was trying to win.

Or if Kakmal could catch.

I'd like to change my vote to Kaneria tbh.
