Garner vs Ashwin in Tests

[Rob Wesley]

Who is likely to be picked in an Indo-Windies all time XI?

Joel Garner or Ravichandran Ashwin?

 

[Rob Wesley]

Let me do an XI.

Gavaskar
Greenidge
Lara
Tendulkar
Viv
Sobers
Keeper( that’s another debate)
Marshall
Ashwin/ Garner/ anyone else
Ambrose
Bumrah

 

[Johan]

more likely is Ashwin, he's fighting with Gibbs and Kumble while Garner with a lot of folks, the better bowler is easily Garner and it's not even close.

My Indo-Windies XI

Sunil Gavaskar
Gordon Greenidge
Sir Viv Richards (C)
Sachin Tendulkar
Brian Lara
Sir Garry Sobers
Clyde Walcott (keeper)
Ravichandran Ashwin
Malcolm Marshall
Curtly Ambrose
Michael Holding (variety, as half the games would logically be in India)

 

[sayon basak]

Garner is better, but Ashwin is more likely.

Sunil Gavaskar
Gordon Greenidge
Viv Richards
Sachin Tendulkar
Brian Lara
Garry Sobers
Clyde Walcott (WK)
Ravi Ashwin
Malcolm Marshall
Curtly Ambrose
Joel Garner/Jasprit Bumrah (Garner for now ig)

 

[Coronis]

Ashwin would be more likely.

 

[DrWolverine]

Garner is better

Ravichandran Ashwin will be picked

 

[sayon basak]

Garner is better

Ravichandran Ashwin will be picked

Also depends on where the match is played. Otherwise agree.

 

[Johan]

Excellent point, I reckon Garner will be favoured over Ashwin in SENA and on classical Windies wickets

Walcott>>Pant

As a keeper, don't think kept long enough, nor sure of quality.
As a keeper batter, No. Pant is better

Hmm makes sense I DON'T CARE!! Walcott>>>

 

[Johan]

Walcott didn't keep long enough but I think he was easily, easily a better Batsmen and a quality keeper, especially to spin, so I'd go with Walcott over Pant.

Speaking of Pant, hear the news about the bloke who helped out at his accident and his gf? Awful ****

Ashwin is a better fit as WI already have enough pacers.

 

[ankitj]

Ashwin is a better fit as WI already have enough pacers.

Oh I didn't read the question.

 

[Thala_0710]

Greenidge
Gavaskar
Richards*
Tendulkar
Lara
Sobers
Walcott+
Ashwin
Marshall
Garner
Ambrose

Garner the better cricketer to Ashwin but Bumrah hopefully replacing him/Holding soon. Ashwin especially with his batting, is a clearer choice to Kumble. Garner vs Holding vs Bumrah would be tougher

 

[Sliferxxxx]

Oh didn't read the question right at first. Yeah Ashwin even though he's an inferior bowler.
