South Africa, England, West Indies and New Zealand do not really have quality spinners.

We have quality spinners actually. Considering Vettori was selected by a very high profile selectors panel for the World XI game against Australia and will almost certainly play. Wiseman is good also. A little expensive but hes taken a 9 wicket bag domestically and when he gets the chance to play international he does get wickets. Thats not all we have Patel who is a young spinner who bowled great this domestic season up and comming for when Vettori leaves which wont probably be for another 2 world cups time.

The other countires may have spinners as well.
 
India is supossed to have the best spinners..becose all pitches in India are spinner friendly...but in Aus or Eng they are pacer friendly.

But not many good spinners have made it to the international level from India.
 
Stuart MacGill by a mile. Him along with other guys such as Mike Hussey, Brad Haddin, Nathan Bracken, Brad Hodge, Jimmy Maher and many others would have played heaps of tests if they were from another country.
 
Vettori: 196 wickets in 62 matches @ 35.65
Not too quality. I do not deny that he is an important asset to the team, especially since he is more than handy with the bat. His average in India is 51.52 in 5 matches, having picked up 17 wickets.

Let us flashback to India vs. Australia 2003 just for a minute. And we will use Kumble as a comparison:

MacGill: 4 matches, 14 wickets @ 50.78
Kumble: 3 matches, 24 wickets @ 29.58

Same pitches, by the way. MacGill's 50.78 against India is even worse than Warne's 47.18. And the fact that MacGill wasn't chosen by the Aussie selectors for the India tour should show what they think of him. They chose Nathan Hauritz, but not MacGill!
 
He is not good enough even Nottinghamshire dumped him because he was rubbish for them!

That's it with England not a lot of young Spinners! :(

How the hell did Macgill get 10 votes in the poll???


beg to differ. Lawson for one, Bridge, Batty relatively young. Loads of others under the ECBs eye.
