I was quoting an opinion of an existing post, not just bringing Ashwin in myself.
You don't seem to mind HB commenting about me for no reason, apparently that is peaceful, but at least I keep things on topic.

That is because he doesn't comment without you starting the Ashwin/Jadeja abuse first to troll and attack Indian posters. The mods happily ignore your troll posts too.

Let's let Ashwin go for now; I am really worn out with these Ashwin/Jadeja debates that goes nowhere.

Yes we can table Ashwin.

That wasn't the case last time. I was commenting on Bumrah when he asked to censor me.

100% agreed.

He also has the worst economy, big whoop.
Probably because unlike him they actually knew how to bowl against Australia, a trick he hasn’t learnt in 20 years and 40 matches.

What do CWers rate higher in test bowling, a better strike rate or a better economy rate?

SA was that era's minnows though.
I mean, this is a terrible example for my point of Stat inflation, because we're talking about Bradman, but the overall point is, every Era had a "minnow" or two.

Still minnows, for mine. Just look at the Test rankings. Poor sods still haven't even figured out how to bowl their overs in time.
The Test nations should remain patient with them though, regardless of how hopeless such an undisciplined lot may seem.

They are connected. A better SR is negated somewhat by a higher ER.
It's not overrated. It's a matter of control.
Yeah I like the balance someone like a Hadlee provides. Very good, but not outstanding on both.

Marshall is amazing at both.
Hadlee has the disadvantage of playing a lot more outside his best decade and a bit though. From the beginning of the tour of England in 1978 up to the end of his career he struck at 48.4 with an economy of 2.46. Given he didn't miss many Tests over that time that's basically a full career for most ATGs.

Economy rate can often be overlooked when considering the roles played. Examples are Verity who was asked to play a containing role during bodyline and Gibbs while supporting W.I. quicks. To an extent Lyon does this in first innings.
