Third Test - Australia v Pakistan: Day 3

Pakistan's most successful spinner, Danesh Kaneria ended his career with 261 Test wickets. His leg-spinners turned significantly and he had the skill to purchase bounce from relatively dry surfaces.

A key member of the Pakistani Test team during the first decade of the 21st century, Kaneria picked wickets on all kinds of surfaces thanks to his resilient attitude and probing bowling.

In 2005, he bowled 49 overs on a lifeless Sydney pitch and claimed seven Australian wickets. That bowling performance exhibited the strength and class of Kaneria as a bowler for all conditions.

Such glorious career of Kaneria ended on a bitter note. In 2012, he was banned for life by ECB on charges of corruption.
