i dont think harbhajan is the best off spinner now. powar the other indian spinner is very good. he doesnt have a doosra and i think this helps him as he relies on flight and subtle changes in pace. he bowls very slowly at around 45mph most of the time while harbhajan isn't as subtle and a bit quicker 55mph relying on the spin more.

I think to be honest, no. Even really accurate offies like Gareth Batty, Robert Croft, Dan Cullen and Jamie Dalrymple just aren't dangerous at all, not even on spinning wickets. Harbhajan has never taken many wickets away from home and he's the best in the world. Nowadays you have to be a leggie to cause problems.

outside the subcontinent can a conventional off spinner still be attacking? before you say monty panesar i mean right arm off spin, so no rough patches to aim at. do you think off spinners will ever truly be an attacking option for the captain or used simply to choke runs while the quicks have a rest?
