Best Spinners this Century

Regardless of pitch, he's been superior to every other spinner across the games he's played. Lyon doesn't match that at all.
If you had to be a spinner for all conditions, you would honestly pick Ashwin who never took a fifer in SENA? Please be honest.

I don't see how Lyon is any better just because he got enough opportunities to get a 5fer. And this is such an asinine argument to use as some worthwhile evaluation of a bowler. You're better off splitting a rock with your head to try and convince me of Lyon's superiority than SENA filters.

I guess this means you do think Lyon is the better allround bowler but don't want to say so. It's ok, I got you.

So you think Ashwin is a better allround spinner for all conditions?
Yes? There's nothing Lyon has done that suggests Ashwin was incapable if given the exact same opportunities. And overall Ash has the better record relative to other spinners anyway. This is like saying Imran being a bottlecap promoter makes him the 100th best pacer ever and the likes of Ngidi or Srinath are better.

So you think Ashwin with 26 tests in SENA didn't get enough chances? Ok.

Lyon's played in SENA (still a dumb filter and argument that an amoeba wouldn't make) more than Ashwin has in the subcontinent. And I didn't say enough chances, I said exact same opportunities. Please don't be so utterly dogshit at reading ever again.

How many more chances did Ashwin need to take his first 5fer in SENA? 50 games?

Again, entirely missing the point. Go back and read what I am actually saying rather than whatever your brain seems to be filtering. At this point this is just trolling for the sake of it.

It's always like this with a select group of posters. All of a sudden when they see something they don't like they pretend like they read something different.
