Straight Drive Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) We often see South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australian batsmen collapse against spinners like they are playing spin for the first time in spite of having cricketing history of more than 100 years. South Africa were clueless against SL in SL this year, Australia have folded in India like pack of cards, England batsmen have batted like tailenders against spin and NZ have also choked against spinners (Clueless against Yasir Shah recently). Among all these teams who are totally mediocre against spinners, who is the worst of them all. Edited January 6, 2019 by Straight Drive Link to comment

He bowls more than Rashid Ali in most matches and as many or more than Jack Leach. Moeen took most wickets for England amongst all spinners they played last year or two. I think apart from Rahane nobody is suspect trouble spin and we probably are best players of spin even today. Lyon has troubled us but he has been far ruthless against others. We played him much well. Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Our spin quartet too exposed a lot of these teams. Prasanna, Bedi, Chandra and Venkat were the best spin attack to have ever played together in history of cricket. Sadly many a times one of three 4 would compete for 3 places when everyone was fit. It would have been wonderful had SA been allowed to play against other international teams. They seem to be the worse even against average spinners.

Graeme Pollock, Barry Richards and Peter Pollock were gun batsmen too but it would be great contest to see them play out spin quartet. Link to comment

Straight Drive Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Chahal spins a web around Aussies batsmen with a magnificent spell of 10 overs, 42 runs and 6 wickets that too in Australia. Edited January 18, 2019 by Straight Drive Link to comment

Nikola Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I don't remember any batsman other than steve smith dominating our spinners in indian conditions. Ofcourse i am talking about test matches. Back in 2012 KP & Cook too did very well. Link to comment
R!TTER Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 None of these modern batters have done consistently well against spin vs India in India, let's see what Smith does when his purple patch wears off & Aus don't have access to sandpaper. Link to comment
Adi BB Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Very close between saf and aus . With Smith back aus might pip ahead of saf ,saf are horrible atm Link to comment

Both India and England have the ability to make bang average spinners look godly Straight Drive 1 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 8 wkts for 60 runs. England staking claims right on time. Link to comment
