Where would Saqlain Ajmal rank among the all-time great spinners?

I have a new conspiracy theory that these are indeed the same person. They just had a television drama style face change during the 4 year gap between when their careers ended/started.

Would this combined player have a case to be the 4th greatest of the modern era over Herath?

84 Tests: 386 wickets at 29.04 plus even more impressive numbers in limited overs formats.

Chuckers.

It will sadly destroy Saqlain's case as the 2nd best ODI spinner, as he gets labelled a chucker.

Saqlain is good but ajmal is cheat

 

[TheJediBrah]

Better chance of being on an ATG baseball pitchers list

 

[ataraxia]

Herath ain't in the same league as Lyon.

Nonsense thread.
Saqlain is a great, Ajmal was iffy.

Ajmal could be a good Baseball pitcher I reckon. Could rotate the ball on 2 axis at once. His Slider would be hard to pick.
