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

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

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.

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

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

Between 25 to 30

Around there too.
6 vs 16 amongst spinners in the CW poll

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.

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