Ravindra Jadeja vs Graeme Swann

[subshakerz]

This is absolute bull****. 2016 vs South Africa, 2017 vs Australia and 2021 vs England were the only times the conditions were like you claim it to be. Last two series had only a couple of surfaces like that

Do you even watch matches that India play or do you just go by whatever the narrative is?

Yes and how many surfaces like that did Swann bowl on at home, genius? At least don't deny that Jadeja didn't have a massive advantage.

You're the one picking on one arbitrary feat to denote superiority and pretending like it's a better marker for greatness. Please, do use your braincells a bit now and then.

The arbitrary feat is the entire reason why nobody outside of CW is going to rate Jadeja a great bowler until he can prove he can win matches outside SC.

Plenty of people rate him highly outside of here so why are you making such a bold and unverifiable assertion?

Please do share those pundits or players who out him up there.

Sheesh, posters were making a big deal of Imran averaging 5 more away than home, Jadeja has a 15 point difference and they won't bring it up.

Full confidence in his teammates. What a man

Isn’t he just?

You're the one making the claim he isn't baselessly lol.

Can we at least agree Lyon is better than both?

Better bald head of course.

Better angry face for sure.

Jadeja dustbowl bully

His sword dance is funny though, I'll place it above Swanns sprinkler

Jadeja ahead of any English spinner.

Depends on the country. I'd rather Phil Tufnell in England. Had the ball on a string in that one ashes test. Got an 11fer I think. Pure. Class.

Goodness, no.

Jadeja beats Swann on style no doubt.

Tufnell was slop, that was his best match ever. Averaged nearly 38 with the ball. Comparing him with a gun like Jadeja is a mismatch.

That was a freak test but Tufnell frankly seemed to be praying for a wicket every delivery.

Give Swann the pitches that Jadeja has built his career on and I guarantee you he would be averaging in the early 20s.

He couldn't do it in India in the games he played there.

That is silly to say. The first series was his debut series and the second he did very well to help England win the series. And this was before pitches were as spicy as they later became.
