Dilruwan was the fastest to 50 wickets, did it in 11 tests. Ajantha Mendis and Embuldeniya took 12 tests.
Dilz rated Dilruwan as the 15th best spinner in the world iirc.
The new guy is the 50th best according to him.
Who else wants to see Dilz's top 50 spinners of the world?

Either Mendis or Dilruwan. Embul was short by one game.

He could have easily broken the record, but last carribian tour where he got injured he didn't take many wickets

Yeah, thats why I dont trust him too much. His bowling average is 35

What was that Dilz said about Dilruwan?
RE: Sri Lanka Cricket Discussion Thread - Bada - 11-27-2021
He is the best. Not just this year. Probably over the last 3-4 years

Who cares what his FC average is, as long as he takes wickets in test matches.... at least in home tests.

Last 5 years. Dimuth has pretty much carried SL Test batting
