There isn't many to choose from, but who would you say is the best test spinner at present? For me its out of Herath and Lyon, and Herath takes it for me..

Not seen the Pakistani spinners yet. So, Herath.

Criticism of Garry Lyon in UAE was trigger happy knee-jerking at its most spontaneous.

Nope. Garry or Gazza is his nickname after a former AFL player called Garry Lyon.
