How? His stats are worse than them and his records against the best team of his time is horrible. His so-called peak was when the best players were busy playing in WSC.
I agree but cumulation of centuries and fifers, etc. for Botham is impressive and they all have their own problems too.

Ashwin is probably the third greatest spinner of all time. Cummins probably doesn’t make the top 15 fast bowlers of all time.

Only for certain Indian fans. The rest of cricket fans including his own captain and coach consider 'the third greatest spinner of all time' totally disposable outside friendly conditions.

So cute of subz to certify how good or bad Ash is on behalf of all non-Indian fans.
Just saying that there is no way Ashwin will develop a cricket legacy that will be celebrated as an ATG outside of India because of a wide perception that he is deficient in terms of wicket-taking outside weak teams and home conditions.

He will be forgotten sadly once India finds a new lead spinner of choice at home.

Don't pretend that perception doesn't exist, even among the captain and team management. He is in his prime yet can't even play a test in England because they see him as too limited an option. No ATG is ever seen as this disposable.

The whole ATG thing is very subjective so fair enough if he's not considered one.

Comparing him against Cummins is just weird and wrong so this thread makes little sense.

The rest is just subs trolling. He was being earnest in the Kumble thread but it's pure trolling in this one.
