no one in their right mind would say that Chanderpaul is a better player of spin than Kalli!

thats emotions based : Shiv currently play Deliveries Kalli never saw  !

For me the yardstick would be how they played spin in India.

I am not sure in Weeks' and Sobers' time Windies pitches were spinning pitches apart from QPO.

There are far too many variables so the numbers are not absolute.

However based on the above criteria the list looks quite different.

SHiv never faced Bedi, Prasana, Chandra, Venkat, etc either

Shiv and Sars wouldda murder them !  :-[

look at Mail list : 5 outta 10 Batsmen In India are from Guyana : 1958 - 2013

confirms the theory that Guyana bats play Spin better 

50s : Kanhai

60s : Lloyd

70s : Kalli

80s : Hooper

90s : Shiv

Sars and Deo should be on that Mail list but failed to score over a thousand runs 

Freddo and Faoud as well ...

Leon will follow the great tradition and show them next month !

Guyanese batsmen played pace as well as they played spin!    ;D

Well I don't know who to say is the best player of spin but from what I have seen then I would say Chanderpaul and Lara. The current team doesn't really struggle against spin expect for Gayle and a few others. I think Chanderpaul's batting style makes him good against all type of bowlers.

The best 5 I have seen in my lifetime and in this particular order:

Lara
Hooper
Shiv
Sarwan
Dessie

Good picks Snoop : had forgotten Dessie  :-[
