in my eyes, harbhajan, but well tat was a bit obvious wasnt it as he is my favourite player along with flintoff and warne. Minimurali will obviously go for murali, but put aside the wickets and the averages as harbhajan is young, murali is oldish. ONE ON ONE, who would win, who would rip it, who would chuck?

Harbhajan is a good bowler, but not of Murli's class. He is a normal good bowler. He is not even up to Kumble's class. He has to learn a lot. He is not very consistent. This is a true fact and I also find Murli a better bowler than Warne, but close contest. Warne is catching up in my rankings. But still it is opinon. Both are the world's greatest spinners at the moment. Warne is the greatest leg-spinner and Murli is the greatest off- spinner. of this decade.

Undoubtably Murali Harbajan in far away from him . He can just bowl well on the home grounds.

Murali is way better, he frightens the batsman where as Singh doesn't. And Murali has more wickets than him. So Murali is way better.

murali but bhajii is still only 25 years old with 200+ test wickets if he can get back to form and play till 35 and take 60 test wickets every year it would mean at 35 he'll have 800 test wickets

O so his wicket count by the time hes 35 will be 700-800 wickets if he stays in form but if he gets in even better form then he is right now he could get 1000 wickets!!

Nobody consistently takes 60 wickets a year you fool...Warne, McGrath, Garner, Murali, Donald, Lillee have all been able to do it, but they are all greats.. Plus guys get injured, lose form, play less tests some years. Not Possible.
 
 
Warne is the best ever spinner, followed by Syd Barnes,Subhash Gubte , O'Reilly, Muralitharan...
 
Singh is not on that list Matey.

Your cricket knowledge is so limited and it does not surprise me...young people are ignorant..You think only modern/current players are the best..well, look him up and read about him.
 
Kumble is one of the most successful Medium Pacers in the history of the game.

Tell me to shut up, you say WHO IS GUPTE??
 
Well why don't you do some research....the whole point for me to come on this forum was to speak about cricket with people who know what they are talking about, and there are guys like that on the forum for sure. But you my friend are defeating that purpose, by pointing out the obvious or asking silly questions...I would rather be a smarta** then a dumba** like you!

So what do you think abiut Gupte not cry baby.. Have a cry seriously, if you can't take it then leave, nobody is asking you to stay, all of your comments are worthless.
