Look at the wicket criteria...not 35, not 40, not 50.....exactly 30-- becasue Panesar has 31 wickets.
This list was NOT made to statistically find the best spinners. Rather it was tailored to statistically find Panesar.
I think Babubhai is absolutely right. Look at the stat of latest 2 SLA of England after 9 tests. Paneser is worst in terms of wicket. Underwood has far better average with the same number of wickets.
Monty Panesar has taken 31 wickets at 30.12 runs apiece from 2,228 balls.
Phil Tufnell had 37 wickets at 27.14 from 2,569 balls
Phil Edmonds 33 at 22.24 from 2275
Derek Underwood 31 at 21.55 from 2,279.
