The last reasonably good attacking SLA I remember was Maninder Singh during the 1980s for India. At one stage he was considered a successor to the great Bishen Singh Bedi, though his career faded away rather quickly. Certainly not in the Bedi or Underwood class, but still an attacking, wicket-taking SLA actually offering some guile and mystery, and someone who was prepared to offer some flight regularly - in retrospect, much better than the current sorry lot!
