I was merely saying that comparing their stats against other nations is rather pointless at this stage as Vettori has played 80 odd test matches, Shakib's played 14. Don't you think it's rather pointless to say he has a better record against South Africa when he's only played two games?
I wasn't meaning to compare stats, more performance. I guess when it's cricket you end up using stats to back performances up, but really I'd be happy enough just having anyone agree that shakib seemed to hold his own as a spinner against saffers where vettori did not. I think vettori's performances have slipped over the last year or two and he's bowling like a containing, inefectual bowler these days.
so I don't think you can just say off the cuff that vettori is the better spinner.
also I think the way people are arguing against this makes less sense than the way I am. I'm more exasperated by everyones inability to even contemplate something that they don't intially agree with.
