Even Hazelwood, if he was bowling on the greentops of NZ I'm sure he'd be a hell of a lot more dangerous.

Spargo, I should've said that IMO he was star on the international stage. That's the only thing I disagreed with.

Vettori is only the 8th player in Test history to take more than 300 wickets and score more than 3000 runs.

In Test cricket he took 362 wickets and scored 4531 runs.

As I said earlier, his record speaks for itself. Statistically the best left arm spinner the game has seen.

Not many good left arm spinners to compare against.

Underwood (Engl) was the best leftie I'd seen before Vettori. Vettori trumped him.

Dilip Doshi and Bishan Bedi are the only two Indian spinners I can remember.

Tufnell....ordinary in comparison to Underwood and Vettori IMO.

Surely he's on the take?


Yep, he was. :lol:

Volatile former West Indies international Marlon Samuels has been found guilty by an independent anti-corruption tribunal of several breaches during his time in the Emirates cricket league.



But now Samuels has once again been disgraced, 15 years after he was last banned for two years for “receiving money, or benefit or other reward that could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute.”

On Thursday night, the ICC announced that Samuels has been banned for six years after being found guilty of four charges.
