Ask Afridi to bowl against decent to good teams in any form of cricket and you will see how good a spinner he is. He is converted himself into a decent bowler, definitely not world class. Hafeez and Hogg? Hafeez might be going through a current purple patch with the ball, but world class? And is Hogg still playing? Even if he did, Stuart MacGill was a better spinner than Hogg.

Ashwin is no way near world class yet. He needs to trouble good teams at home, and also trouble teams outside of home. But he has the makings.

Lol this is a stupid thread at first and then to make it more stupid, they have added a very fantastic poll in it. Hafeez? Afridi? WTF? Don't know much about Jim Laker so can't comment much about him. As someone said before, if you are including Afridi and Hafeez then why not Ashwin, Ojha, Herath and Price? And if you are including Ajmal then why not Murli? Totally useless.

Laker was one of the best English spinners ever, if not the best.

Afridi, Hafeez are including becasue they are much more better bowlers than you mrntioned ....

Well I live in a country which allows me to write and share my thoughts with everyone and also I can write anywhere. I don't need anyone to tell me that I should have control on my hands rather that person should control their excitement before creating such a useless thread. And if you really think that Hafeez is better then Ashwin and Herath then my friend, you need to review your cricket again.

Since you're all about the rankings, I'll give you a lesson. ;)

Test Bowler Rankings

Herath is #2 as far as spinners go.

Ashwin is #3 as far as spinners go.

Why is Botha not in the poll? He's ahead of Afridi in the T20 rankings. :rolleyes

Why don't you understand? We don't want to add or remove any players but if you will add players like Afridi and Hafeez then there are better spinners in the world right now then them. But again, there is no point of discussion about that on this thread as you have titled it as who is better, Ajmal or Narine? Again, regarding title, you can't even compare both of them because Narine came in international cricket last year where Ajmal is playing from quite a while now.

I consider Saeed Ajmal the current king of spin while Ashwin or narine[more chance] the future king of spin.

The thread title is slightly misleading. I voted based on who is the best spinner at the moment.

If you were talking about spinners through the ages, such as Laker and Warne, than why is Murali, or Saqlain, or Mushy not included in the poll?
