Best spinner other than Warne & Murali

[Right arm fast]

imo vettoris the best player and kumbles the best spinner

Here's a little mathematical equation that I find very relevant in terms of what I aim to get out of university.

Pass = P
P = 50%
50% = Degree

Therefore, P = Degree

But 70% That's darn tight. They'll probably introduce that here soon too - they're already introducing legislation that pretty much makes university a place to rock up, study, and go home - and take any social interaction out of it for us

That's pretty much my attitude towards my Introductory Symbolic Logic class. To demonstrate...

If F then P
If P then D
---------------
If F then D

People weren't kidding when they told me is was the philosophy department's version of maths.

Kumble quite comfortably. That being said, IMO he's a fair way behind Murali and Warne. But he's definitely 3rd best in the world, and the way he's troubled the best batsman in the world in the past is evidence of that.

out of intrest wouldnt you say murali is better than warne as well?

personally i think murali chucks it so i think warneys better

Warney chucks too.

although its off topic I dont think chucking has an affect on who is the better bowler, but lets not get into that touchy subject.

Kumble. Can there really be a discussion about this?? He's one of the 10 highest wicket-takers of all time!

Though currently, with Kumble slowly but surely walking into the sunset... ...I'd pick

Vettori if you need a spinner to contain and occasionally attack (let's call it the Giles-role)
H.Singh if your pace attack is likely to win it for you and you can risk a spinner who will either destroy the opponents or be carted for 0-150.
Kaneria if it's too windy for H.Singh and he needs both his hands to hold on to his turban.

No he doesnt.... You cant throw legspinners...

You would like to think so.
However, the data from biomechanical tests prove it otherwise.
Everybody chucks/chucked if the definition of chucking is ANY flexion of the elbow.
Simple as that.

Did they do tests on leg spinners? Cause i tried this the other day and i found it nigh on impossible to throw a leg spinner as the wrist position is such that it locks the elbow into its straight position

Please stay away from the Warne/Murali comparision and the so called chucking debate. Its been done to death and only causes trouble.

Kumble.

The elbow locks for almost every bowling style when it clears the perpendicular ( with respect to the shoulder) but there is elbow flexion with every kinda bowling when you release the ball, for simply speaking, its almost impossible to exert force from the wrist while releasing (during bowling) without flexing the elbow.
Again, this is a proven fact in biomechanics.

I don't think legspinners can do it - the only bowler in the Champions trophy who was found not to straighten his arm AT ALL was Ramnaresh Sarwan. I'm not sure if there were any other legspinners in the competition.

Upul "it's gone for six" Chandana is the only one i can think of.

Afridi?

Afridi?

More of a medium pacer, than a spinner.
