What he said.

Not rating a spinner as Test-quality because he isnt Shane Warne is Ricky Ponting-level stupidity.

Acura, read the topic. Its not about best their ever were, it's not even about World-class. Its about who playing for Bangladesh could get in the Australian side.

Spinners : Sakib, Razzaq, Mahmadullah all have better records than Beer or Doherty. And are better. And in the case of two of them, can bat.

Quicks : Shaiful and Rubel would be in the mix, but probably wouldnt get in ahead of the incumbents. Shahadat is like Mitchell Johnson, only less deadly when on song.

Keeper : Nope

Batsman : Tanim for sure. Others have the same issues as Shaiful and Rubel (and for that matter, Australian Shield batsmen, whose exploits at first class level dont seem to count).
