Best non-indian spinner in indian conditions??

Right now, its Lyon hands down.  Love watching him bowl - and enjoyed his bowling in the India-Aus series a few months ago.

But he was a chucker. Even 2011-2014 Ajmal would have given us trouble purely because of chucking. 

Without a doubt.  No one, including the inventor, has bowled a doosra without bending that elbow.  Glad it is a thing of the past.

Saqlain, Lyon, Swann

 

In the current gen, Lyon (Tests) and Santner (LOIs)

Well,

I was thinking about Lyon and how good a spinner he is....

May be is a very good spinner right now considering all the conditions....

Say Ashwin, he is very good in sub-continent conditions but very average in England and Australia.....but Lyon is good pretty much everywhere...

Is Lyon the best visiting spinner of India?

May be the awareness of chucking wasn't there so much unless you really bent your arm by 35 degree like Murali. Saqlains odi career too was built on doosra. He used to bowl in slog overs flighting the doosra taking the top edge

Lyon, Saqlain, Swann were all good. So was Benaud from a different era.

In recent times Lyon, I have become a huge fan of his bowling now. Along with Swann and Ashwin he has been the most watchable offie since I started watching cricket. Chuckers like Ajmal, Saqlain, Murali, Harbhajan don't count in my eyes.
