Two geniuses of Indian cricket
I think it's arguable he's higher on the ladder of great batsmen than Ashwin is for bowlers. Close though .Dravid is in no way better in their primary disciplines. No ****ing way.
It would swing either way I guess if you were looking at “best bowlers” or “best spin bowlers”I think it's arguable he's higher on the ladder of great batsmen than Ashwin is for bowlers. Close though .
Good point. It’s not impossible that he ends with 700 wickets and 5k runs.The one thing is that Ashwin’s career isn’t done.
another 20-25 tests of excellence and possibly a great series in Aus could swing this
Kumble is him.Certainly the two most intelligent modern Indian cricketers and “most likely to join a corporate board”
That's a bit of a stretch. Ashwin could have been better in primary discipline if his numbers were overall better overseas.Dravid is in no way better in their primary disciplines. No ****ing way.
That'd depend on how many years he can play . He could play up until he's 42 but I don't think that's very likely.Good point. It’s not impossible that he ends with 700 wickets and 5k runs.
How is Ashwin better in secondary discipline when Dravid was an ATG slip fielder and has the most catches in test historyDravid is definitely better in their primary disciplines while Ashwin is much better in their secondary disciplines

Seriously, I'm listening
Dravid > Ashwin in primary discipline
Dravid > Ashwin in secondary discipline
It usually is but Ashwin's lower order batting isn't full all rounder level like an imran or Kapil or Jadeja.You are a parody of yourself sometimes
Fielding is not a secondary discipline. The impact of fielding is fractional vs bowling or batting
Dravid's overall value in slip fielding, keeping, captaincy etc was very very valuable and would probably equal Ashwins batting for me. However it's Dravid's away performances which is the clincher for me. There is a fair argument to me made that Dravid was the best away bat of his gen bar Tendulkar and LaraHow is Ashwin better in secondary discipline when Dravid was an ATG slip fielder and has the most catches in test history

Thanks, I do wholly rely on your options of me to make it through the day.You are a parody of yourself sometimes
