ahh, interesting stats, Rev!

but is that how you would rank their ability to play spin, based on stats?

The stats is a good starting point but not everything. 

for example, no one in their right mind would say that Chanderpaul is a better player of spin than Kalli!  :P

* THE NUMBERS ARE REAL.

* Let's look at Kali and Shiv versus India.

STATS

* The Rev never engages in arguing---I just present the numbers. :D

* No question Kali was a great player of spin, but the NUMBERS don't lie---Shiv has better numbers against India.

* Kali played from 1972 to 1980

* Was he the best in that period against India ?

* NOT BY A LONG SHOT

* Richards, Abbas, Lloyd and Miandad all averaged in the 60s against India between 72-80.

* Kalli averaged 55+

* See link for stats:
