He is the best but not "by far".
Shakib and Swann are not a whole lot worse than him
What i find intersting about ajmal is his career trajectory; unlike other of their good bowlers who all of sort of "burst into the scene" with excellent performances soon after their Debut, Ajmal has been a lot more anonymous in earlier times, only getting better with time
I remember watching him live few years back and he seemed like a run of the mill offspinner; someone brought in to fill the obligatory spinner slot, but who was not a patch on their fast bowlers or previous spinners.
