Fatal Shot
Club Cricketer
Noticed a lot of teams have been going in with two spinners. Just want to get thoughts on which team you guys think have the best spinners. Here are the choices.
South Africa: Botha and Van Der Merwe
Both are really good in containing the singles, and apply a choke hold on the players. Rarely give away any boundries. Lack of wickets may be a concern with both, (Especially Botha) but that's not their role in the team. They do an excellent jobs. Averages aren't everything.
Pakistan: Afridi and Ajmal
These two have become deadly together. Ajmal does very well in containing the bowlers and Afridi bowls very aggressive on the other end. Together they make it very tough in the middle overs, and they follow up the good work of the pacers.
Sri Lanka: Murili and Mendis
Both are very weird in the right sense of the word. Their numbers speak for themselves, but like I said stats don't say everything. Mendis has sort of been blown off the radar and Murili has been dropped.
New Zealand: Vettori
Because he is good enough to be a one man team. :cool:
I'd say that South Africa and Pakistan are both ahead by nice margins. Pakistan might be a little ahead, as their two spinners have preformed better thus far. But little separates them.
