Who is the No3 spinner in the world?

taibu used to be one of my favourite players until he quit from zimbabwe streak he was a brilliant bowler one of the best zimbabwe ever had price one of the best spinners flower one of the best batsmen and taibu was turning out to be a star for zimbabwe but there all gone but thet still got some talent mazakadsa,mahwire,utseya,a.bliganaut mind you an excellent all-rounder and hondo good athleticism and bowling

such a shame had they had streak,taibu,a.flower,g.flower,price,utseya,mahwire,ebhriam, a.bliganut,d.hondo and coventry or mazakadsa in the same team they would have been on top of the world not really but they would have done well

back to the topic i dont know why people dont consider saqlain mushtaq as the 3rd or 4th best spinner because he is a very good player and already has a ton and two fifties to his name in test cricket

hes 28 and has taken a remarkable 288 wickets in odi

true i dont know why they dont include him in the squad maybe because everyone is just doing so well

so your saying he dosent want to be up for selection if you are hes gotta get back and show the world what the great saqlain mushtaq can do rip through teams batting order

hes got i reckon a maximum 10 years left in him a mininum of 7 years

He is better then that Arshad Khan bloke Saqlain and younger too. One Saqlains floater and doosra were found out he stooped basically gettin int'l wickets, he has the teesra now, a new ball. Anyway he uses hit variations too much and is not patient at all, he keeps varying his line, length, flight and different balls to much. He needs to bowl omn the smae spot more consistenly. Johan Botha has the same problem, but he is still young and only new to off spin, inexperienced. The doosra for Botha is useless it just goes straight and he doest turn ball much because he releases the ball above the perpendicular.

Yep, he got into Paki team quite young and had a good stint of 49 tests (incl. 1 100, 2 50's) and he played a lot of ODI cricket, which is normal for Paki team. 

He was one along with a couple of other Asian spinners developed the doosra, he was the 1st one in a game to use it successfully and now a lot of offies use it, he mastered and thus didnt really bend the arm much bowled it fairly. MY problem with was that he bowled it way too much and got found out, and brought it onto himself by using the doosra and the floater too much (like i mentioned earlier). But on his day he could be devastating, remember the WC '99 hat trick, he was alsoo only 23 at that stage.

Well, first of all, Saqlains variation and all his different balls certainly get him a lot of wickets.

Second, what is a teesra. I've heard of it but I can't figure out what it could possibly be. And what is a floater.

So...this was his 3rd ODI. He is 25 and has a bowling average of 38. That's not good. But he can easily change that.

He's only played one match in this series and has a bowling average of 11. That's extremely impressive.

warnii is da best we know

then its murlai then kumble then danesh keneria and harbajhan

 

i think kenaria will climb quickly

In my point of view, Shahid Afridi is the third best spinner.
