kumble won one ANUS (aus, nz, uk, sa) series in his career, in 2007

ashwin has won two in australia so far
Kumble or Ashwin didnt win anything by their lonesome.

Kumble's tours of Australia in 2003 and 2007 in which he took 44 wickets in 7 tests were better than Ashwins' efforts on his two tours.

And Kumble actually contributed to victories in England unlike Ashwin.

So? Ashwin also has had a respectable record in Australia and England for the past few years. He just sits out because Jadeja exists.
Ashwin doesnt sit out in Australia much. In England he does because the team manangement knows after countless tries he seems unable to win matches there so might as well try your luck with Jadeja.

dude this is junk posting, Kumble averages 41 in England to Ashwin's 28, you really think he would be winning matches for India in England? He'd get dropped even sooner for Jadeja.

Yeah but your next point is about winning tests. Kumble won zero series in australia and one in eng. Ashwin won twice in aus. So which one is it? Or are you all about the edge without having a point?
Again, how exactly are Kumble and Ashwin winning series alone? It is an entire team that wins series. That is a silly point.

I am not claiming Kumble was terrific overall in England. He sucked in the 90s but was impactful in 2002 and 2007.

Statshakerz at it again, please learn to at least post a detailed essay on which player is better rather than nitpicking details uselessly that only serve to expose inherently flawed thought processes on cricket.

Ashwin is a fat sook who exploits every little rule he can and whines at the umpire when he gets called on it. He'd struggle to average under 30 in the pre-DRS era and gets hidden every other away series.

Jadeja is a ****ing chad with bat, ball and in the field. Well groomed beard, is fun to watch bat, doesn't even pretend to bowl properly but has the left arm h4x.

Kumble was a pleasant nerd who bowled proper spin.

Facts and logic DESTROY shri and hb.

It’s crazy how with all of the spin talent in India the 3 guys we’re arguing about are a guy who basically bowled seamers, a guy who bowls darts with no run up, and an aggressively uncoordinated guy bowling front-on variations of nothing. When y’all gonna have a spinner who bowls vaguely properly and is good?
