Chahal OTOH cost us the 2019 WC. Yes, but the OP is about spinner's avg and eco specifically. If you go by stats alone Chahal trumps others. He also played on much flatter decks and with 4 fielders restriction. Link to comment

Fielding should be the first and the must skill in ODIs. Bowling theek bhi karega lekin 10 catch chodega aud 20 run fielding mein dega to what is the point of that spinner Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 2019 world cup was an utterly terrible world cup for all the spinners. They deliberately prepared pitches unsuitable for spinners. Somewhat similar in 2015 as well. Link to comment

Chahal OTOH cost us the 2019 WC. Ashwin in the lonely quarter final against Australia in 2011 world cup opened the bowling. The over numbers that Ashwin bowled in that match were 1, 3, 5, 7, 10,12, 38, 43, 47, 49. 5 overs in power play 3 overs in death. He took out Watson in power play. Later in death overs took out Punter. Gollum 1 Link to comment

A lot of players who played with or against him rate him highly. Some years ago, when Graeme Smith was asked, "who was more tougher to bowl, Kumble or Bhajji? He said Bhajji even though Kumble was part of commentary panel and sitting besides him. Link to comment

But he was an useful batsman down the order as he could power hit. Link to comment
singhvivek141 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 On 11/25/2023 at 8:06 AM, Majestic said: The World Cup is done now so we can debate it. The contenders are : Anil Kumble, AVG 30, Econ 4.3 Harbhajan Singh, AVG 33, Econ 4.3 Ravindra Jadeja, AVG 36, Econ 4.8 Ravi Ashwin,, AVG 33, Econ 4.9 Kuldeep Yadav, AVG 26, Econ 5.1 World Cup stats :- Kumble 31 wickets, Avg 22 Jadeja 27 wickets, Avg 31 Kuldeep 21 wickets, Avg 36 Harbhajan 20 wickets, Avg 40 Ashwin 18 wickets, Avg 25 Stats sums up how poor our spinners has been, despite us being known as a land of spinners. Anyway, I will go with Jumbo, despite not being a "spinner" in traditional sense, he has picked up 300+ wickets in ODI's & was able to play for almost 15+ years. Ashwin started with a bang but fell flat later, Kuldeep is doing well but have to see how much he will be able to contribute. Bhajji's graph too went down a lot faster once his strengths were neutralized. Link to comment

Singh bling Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 According to ICC , Maninder Singh was India's best bowler ever in ODI with rating of 851. No indian bowler has achieved this rating https://www.icc-cricket.com/rankings/mens/player-rankings/odi/all-time-bowling Link to comment
Lord Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Its a bit tough to compare with ever changing rules among other things. Ashwin/Jaddu would have been permanent and maybe greats with older rules. I hope Kuldeep ends up as our greatest. Its only a mental thing for him. Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Kumble is the safest option. He was pretty lethal and a fox. Only thing is, he was more of a medium pace bowler than a spinner. By the end of his career, he did start spinning though Link to comment
