Worst ever spinner to get 100 test wickets

Ashley Giles comes to mind. Who else? Venkatpathy Raju? Paul Wiseman? You decide. Edit: Just checked that Raju has 93 and Wiseman 61 wickets in test matches.

If you lower the mark to 98 test wickets, then surely Sanath Jayasuriya would be a worthy nomination.

Still better than Harris. Was shocked to see that the useless **** had somehow managed to take 103 test scalps.

Look at his face. There is no way he isn't the worst spinner of all time.

And Nicky Boje among specialist spinners, it has to be.

Ganguly could deposit him in different parts of any stadium whenever he wanted to...
He actually averaged 24 against India. No doubt he was pretty average but what Ganguly could or couldn't do to him seems like a poor example...

Interesting to see that Tuffers is the worst statistically who was only in the team as a bowler. Most of the others on that 'worst' list that Hurricane posted up offered something with the bat. Pretty harsh on Tuffers though who was a better bowler than that IMO.

Paul Harris doesn't offer anything with the bat.

Haha yeah I know, and Ganguly's example was a light-hearted comment and mainly based on ODIs - so not of any relevance here, or not a reason why I vote for Boje here.

Whenever Ganguly didn't hit a six to a delivery of Boje it seemed like a merciful act he was doing TBF.

Offers considerably more than Tuffers considering their averages are about the same. That said, I'd say Tuffers was considerably better with the ball than Harris; even if the averages don't bear that out.
