zen Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 All of them are brilliant, but if I had to pick one for my team, it would probably be Chandra. At his peak, from what I have read, he was unplayable .... There were jokes that even Chandra did not know what the ball would do :cantstop:

govinda Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 my dad used to say prasanna was best off spinner ever he tricked batsmen with loop filght and turn like spider spins its web
zen Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 ^ To bowl like that in Eng conditions for spinners is commendable .... and Ind's catching (Solkar in particular) :hatsoff:
vijay50 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Kumble followed by Chandra, Harbhajan, Bedi and then Prasanna followed by Venkatraghavan.

Chandrasekar's disability became his strong suit and introduced an uncertainty of what was going to happen.

zen Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 If guys like Chandra had access to modern cricket's training and development methods, their record could have been even more stellar! I guess, many of these guys had to balance playing cricket with earning decent income off the field as well which takes away 100% focus from cricket :dontknow:
CoverDrive Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Kumble for me Guy had a fast bowlers heart in a spin bowler He would just go for the kill and could destroy the best in his day
nevada Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Thats due to his deformity of hand due to polio ' date=' I believe.In a way you can indirectly say that ge set precedent for Murali.[/quote'] I heard that he used to throw with the left hand when fielding because his right arm wasn't strong enough to do that. Did he have a bent elbow while bowling? From the videos I have seen, I don't think so.

Muloghonto Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Don't forget Vinoo Mankad and Subhash Gupte from the list.
