CW's Ranking of Spinners (Tests)

[The Sean]

I've not previously considered Briggs (or Bobby Peel) as I've been excluding blokes from the 19th century for all of these lists. Otherwise both men would definitely have gotten my votes by now.

Trumble and Blythe are already overdue though. I'd be tempted to go with Blythe as Trumble played half his career in the 19th century too, but he appears to be where the momentum is here, so:

Hugh Trumble

 

[Line and Length]

Looks like Trumble might be next.
A reminder Trumble 141 @ 21.79 vs Wardle 102 @ 20.39

My thing actually had Briggs 4th ahead of even Laker. Trumble, Blythe and Peel all due around now, realistically.

I know this is a spinner’s thread, but I couldn’t help but notice that you had Stewie Dempster ranked at #5 after having played only 10 Tests.

Interestingly, Barry Richards played 14 Tests if you count the unofficial ones (all had decent bowlers). So it would be nice to get an PEWs Ranking/Rating if possible.

What if Packer SuperTests and World XI matches of the 1970s had been official Tests? - Cricket Country

Who knows what Test history would look like today if the matches were official.

Nice to see dons average over 100.
The full list is realling interesting.All rounders are getting huge advantage.Everyone is there because of gaining points from both bowling and batting except bradman who’s batting still beats everyone to finish No.1.For eg-Sir J.B Hobbs no.3 batsman is at no.60 because of being specialist batsman and getting 0.00 from bowling.It just reminds us the genius of bradman.
Also shows how unlucky W.R Hammond was .
