Who are the top 10 spinners of all time (choose from the list)?
It's fair to say that with Warne, Murali, Kumble and (a bit earlier) Qadir, we've been through a golden period for spin bowling. But it seems that because of that, we seem to forget that there were many great spin bowlers before them. This bias towards modern players happens across all disciplines, but it seems more-so with the spinners.
So here's the list of "notable spin bowlers" from Wikipedia. Who are the top 10?
