They wouldn’t touch Jadeja with a 10 foot pole tipped with sandpaper.

Whatever it takes!!!
Obviously.
He is just several levels above them as a cricketer, and even more levels above as a human.

Literally broke his thumb at Sydney 2021 after he took 4 wickets and ran out Smith on #SCGSoSpinny. Survived to a draw because of it.

Try playing with a broken toenail and get back to me.
Thumb > toenail for cricketers.

Pretty sure those records don't exist. They don't exist even for games as late as year 2000.

That's pretty cool. Didn't know this.Yep. 129 wickets in 31 tests @24.93 on tour since the poor series down under in 2014-15.

It is only SA where he has really struggled.
Overall in this period, he has taken 397 wickets in 76 tests @21.67. At home it is 268 wickets @20.10 which is not a massive difference from his overall record in this time. That is a full ATG career in itself.

I don’t think Ashwin’s away record is better or even comparable to Murali or Warne’s, but the anti Ashwin bias here is telling. Outperformed Lyon colossally in the last tour there, good in England, WI, and far better in SL than Lyon(and SC in general). Only been poor in SA.

That too is because of the pitch nature. Maharaj averages a healthy 60 in the matches they played together in SA.

A guy like Laker barely played away from home, and the sort of pitches he got at home, Ashwin would have Barnes like figures on

Literally not. Laker had uncovered pitches and the average score in England back then was 240ish. During Ashwin's time, 317 in India.

These are unironically amazing stats. Turns out I've actually been underrating him all this time somehow.

Well definitely no more than Indian management; sometimes I feel Subz is one of them.
