The Australian team are enjoying their dominant show against Pakistan in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG. At the end of the first day, the hosts managed to add 187 runs on the board with the loss of just three wickets. Marnus Labuschange remains in the middle with 44 runs off 120 deliveries along with Travis Head.

However, Steven Smith was dismissed for just 26 runs by Pakistan fast-medium bowler Aamer Jamal. But the star batter seemed to be in good spirits as he was seen with a whiteboard which had a list of players for the best spin bowling all-rounders in history.

At the top of the list was the former New Zealand skipper, Daniel Vettori. He was more than a handful with his left-arm off-spin and to add to the opposition’s misery he holds a decent record of six Test centuries and 23 fifties in the longer format in a total of 113 matches played.
Another notable name in the list is none other than India’s Ravindra Jadeja who currently missed out on the Boxing Day Test against South Africa. The all-rounder has made himself one of the best all-rounders of the current generation and he is also a big threat on the field. He is currently the number one ranked all-rounder in the longest format.

The list also included Travis Head which could be a fun take on the list with him being able to contribute some overs with his off-spin.
Some legends that are included in the list are Sir Gary Sobers who averages 34.04 with the bat and has taken 200+ wickets in the longest format. Another legendary name is Australia’s Richie Benaud who was a force to be reckoned with his lower-order batting and his leg-spin.
Some other names included in the list are Bangladesh’s Shakib-al-Hasan, India’s Axar Patel and England’s Samit Patel.
