Ravichandran Ashwin vs Hedley Verity

[ataraxia]

No way Anderson went up much. He's kind of gone out with a whimper, not a bang.

Anderson's peak was after 2018 lmao

Since 2018, James Anderson has got 182 wickets @23.89. That would surely help him improve his ranking.

 

[shortpitched713]

Okay, you are right. I'm probably just thinking last Ashes.

 

[Coronis]

Look at #16 and #18 you losers.

Look at 41 and 33. Look at 26 and 20.

I always appreciate DoG’s work but it is in the end just a statistical ranking.

I don’t think anyone here thinks Botham > Lindwall, or Philander > Holding. Doubt you’d find anyone thinking Harbajhan > Gibbs and Benaud either.

Ok but Ashwin and Anderson around top 20 should not be that controversial. Top 25 at the very least should not raise any eyebrows.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Anderson has a 300 wicket stretch that’s pretty similar to Davidsons entire career. Definitely not controversial to put him in top 20/25.

Anderson and Ashwin both don't make my Top 20, but they do my Top 30. So no reason really to think Top 20 is inadmissible.

Nah. Top 20 is really pushing it.

I never said it was controversial tbh. Just that they aren’t top 20 for me

 

[capt_Luffy]

As I said, you are entitled to your opinion and I know that Ashwin don't crack your top 50; so checks out.

 

[ankitj]

Nah. Top 20 is really pushing it.

Where do you place him? Spit it out.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Where do you place him? Spit it out.

Just outside of Top 2000 probably

 

[subshakerz]

Where do you place him? Spit it out.

Between 25 to 30

 

[ma1978]

Between 25 to 30

so where does Nathan Lyon rank?

 

[subshakerz]

Around there too.

 

[ma1978]

Around there too.

6 vs 16 amongst spinners in the CW poll

 

[ankitj]

Between 25 to 30

So you have been on this crusade all this time to get people to rate Ashwin between 25 and 30 rather than 20 and 25?

Lol it wasn't a crusade.

 

[Coronis]

Lol it wasn't a crusade.

That’s what the crusaders said about the crusades tbf

Everybody has their own opinion. The rankings sound right to me.
