That's too varied to make a region.
They all were taken to the cleaners in the first innings but he got the wickets they needed.
That's not how matchwinning works. You still need a bowler to take the wickets and if it was so easy, how come Ashwin never did anything like that in 26 games in SENA?
No. Lyon ran through sides to win games in Eng and Aus too. Ashwin? Nah.
What about Sanga and Viv? Kohli and Yousuf? You can always find counter examples.
about the same variety as SENA, actually, it's just SEA + India/Sri Lanka IE subcontinent, lol
Iirc, Root didn't get out, And Bairstow had done the damage by the time Lyon got him anyway. Infact, I don't see why this is better than Ashwin's Edgbaston performance in 2018
He never had the luxury of bowling against a **** batting lineup trying to chase 400 on a final day
Australia is his home conditions, a direct fair comparision would be Lyon in Australia vs Ashwin in India, leagues apart. And nah, he never won anything in England.
Viv and Kohli's careers are impressive enough to argue over those two
Same to a lesser extent is Lyon over Ashwin.
far, far lesser extent. Ashwin is Williamson, Lyon is Pujara or lesser, Vaughan maybe.
no you're stretching it man
High wicket match volume in a won game in SENA. We can disagree I think Lyons was important.
He ran through England to win a game late in the match which is what is expected from spinners in SENA. Simple as that. And Ashwin doesn't have a single fifer in SENA.
Its only the list of countries he has won games includes Aus. And Eng.
I'm not lol, it's literally SEIA + SL
Oh well, I don't think he was.
Yeah but the match was done, the fifer is mid
Ashwin has also been important in wins in Aus, Ind and SL, and he's like infinitely better at home, so he has won more matches than Lyon for sure.
Honestly I Don't consider it possible for an offspinner to average less than 30 in Aus over the 2010s. Warne a averaged 27 in Aus in the 2000s and the 2010s were even flatter IMO. So that has to be factored in when considering Lyon.
skill issue
I like how after being so picky about Lyon in Eng and dismissing his wins in SC, you immediately lower your standard for Ashwin.
It's not and this is just being pedantic to ignore the roads he bowled on.
yap
so did Lance Gibbs and Clarrie Grimmett, once again, skill issue
Great we agree on your double standard. But it's not just you it's most Ashwin supporters here.
I rate them also highly.
Yap
Yap≠Yep.
Lyon isn't as good as them or he'll average less than 30
