Best player of the spin ever???

[King]

Who's it in your opinion? Lara, Viv Richards, Ganguly, Stephen Fleming, Tendulkar, Laxman, Azhar, Aravinda DeSilva, Navjot Sidhu comes to mind. How good were the past masters I haven't named above? From what I have seen Lara is the best batsman out there against spin followed closely by the magic wrist Azhar.

Re: Best player of the spin ever??? Lara daylight some more daylight Gavaskar/Tendu/Azhar/ De Silva little to choose between them in my mind.

Re: Best player of the spin ever??? Lara. But tell you what, I rate that guy Stephen Fleming as well. The way he handled Murali, Bhajji and Kumble in their backyards was exemplary.

Re: Best player of the spin ever??? Funny isn't it. Best spin bowlers ever(Warne/Murali) have extremely poor record against best players of spin. Best player of pace(Inzi) has an extremely poor record against SA and Aus. :lmao: Best player of spin(Lara) has a distinctly mediocre record against a team known for its spinners(us).

Re: Best player of the spin ever??? Lara has handled the two best spinners of his generation very well. So u could call him the best player of spin. But Raju had Lara's number when the two went against each other. Raju picked up Lara 4 out of the 6 times Lara got out in that tour

Re: Best player of the spin ever??? if u r talking about "EVER"... it has to be SACHIN.... he is not in form for the past 3-4 years ad hence giles, price, and even panesar seem good..... but remember how he ripped apart warne... how about the chennnai test against pak.... till he was batting, Saqlain looked inncous... the moment he got out, he looked unplayable... how about the 4 sixes of abdul qadir when he was only 16 yrs old.... ask laura to match tht...
