Is it at all possible that Worrell just had a much better team? A great opener and borderline ATG talent Kanhai middle in the middle order, the greatest all round cricketer the game's ever seen, a great fast bowler and spinner....?Exactly, like I don't think if Australia was led by Gilchrist instead of Ponting (I swear it's just an example, I don't have anything against him) Australia would had lost any more matches or won much more. Can't say the same for Worrell's WIndies or Imran's Pak.
I think that's a bad choice really. Ashwin imo is the better player, but if you can only have one in your Indian team, it's Dev very comfortably.Think Kapil is indeed a bit overrated, and if I had to choose either for my India team ot would have to be be Ashwin.
Not that tough a decision actually.
Shockingly no, a great coach didn’t win without a superstar on their team.Did Phil win without Michael or Shaq / Kobe? Belichick without Brady?
He was a lot better in the cordon than Ashwin. That is the tie breaker for me.Think Kapil is indeed a bit overrated, and if I had to choose either for my India team ot would have to be be Ashwin.

Hence, Mournho >>>> GuardiolaShockingly no, a great coach didn’t win without a superstar on their team.
I don’t know what any of those three words meanHence, Mournho >>>> Guardiola
How? One is a match winning phenomenon at home and a far superior bowler there.I think that's a bad choice really. Ashwin imo is the better player, but if you can only have one in your Indian team, it's Dev very comfortably.
Hence my point. In many instances the teams make the coach, and in some of these instances, the captains.Shockingly no, a great coach didn’t win without a superstar on their team.
Nope. Even only as a bowler, Kapil is a shoo in in Indian ATG team. Ashwin is probably a shoo in now, but there is still a case to make a team without him. None for Kapil really.How? One is a match winning phenomenon at home and a far superior bowler there.
I hope this isn't just because one is an all rounder and one isn't
Non facetiously, don't know who either of those gentlemen are. Have heard the names mind you, but unaware of context and couldn't pick them out of a line up.Hence, Mournho >>>> Guardiola
José Mourinho with Porto (saying this as it's in the most recent memory).....Hence my point. In many instances the teams make the coach, and in some of these instances, the captains.
Tremendously over played aspect of the game.
lol. Its easy to recognise a great captain or coach, its not all about being the best team in the world.Hence my point. In many instances the teams make the coach, and in some of these instances, the captains.
Tremendously over played aspect of the game.
No way in hell. The intelligent thing to do is leave out Kumble and pick all the ARs. Kapil isn't getting in at Ashwin's expense and there's nothing any other Indian spinner has over Ashwin.I think that's a bad choice really. Ashwin imo is the better player, but if you can only have one in your Indian team, it's Dev very comfortably.
Really?? I don't think so. Kapil still is comfortably India's second best pacer and a great lower order batting asset.No way in hell.

And absolutely not a contender for any other one among the top 6 squads. Oh, and so is Vaas for SL btw, similarly due to the lack of top tier alternatives.Nope.

Ashwin edges Kumble (handily IMO, but it's debatable) and is overall the better batter as well. He'd easily take the spot if you're worried about batting.Really?? I don't think so. Kapil still is comfortably India's second best pacer and a great lower order batting asset.
In practicality, I would prefer:
Jadeja
Dev
Kumble
Shami
Bumrah
Over:
Jadeja
Ashwin
Shami
Bumrah
Kumble/Srinath/Zaheer/Nissar/Amar Singh
I already said Ashwin is the better player..... But that doesn't change Kapil is more valuable in an ATG India team. Having Kumble replace Ashwin is a much less of a downgrade (even arguably an upgrade from pure bowling, though I don't share that sentiment) than having Srinath take over from Kapil.And absolutely not a contender for any other one among the top 6 squads. Oh, and so is Vaas for SL btw, similarly due to the lack of top tier alternatives.
As a bowler Kapil wasn't ATG status nor quality, where Ashwin has a decent case to be seen as such, especially at home.
...... The conversation was who was more important, given we can only take one.Ashwin edges Kumble and is overall the better batter as well. He'd easily take the spot if you're worried about batting.
Jadeja
Kapil
Ashwin
Shami
Bumrah
This is the best lineup out of all of them smh. Got batting and bowling without any real compromise.
