Ashwin vs Kumble

I had to have a look at Joshi's FC record. Identical to Jaddu. Confirms my views.

Wtf!! Jadeja averages 55 with the bat, Joshi 27..... It's ****ing more than twice!! Also, one of them played FC matches predominantly as a young guy, before making it big in the Test scene, another never made it. Stupid comparison.

You are unnecessarily getting agitated. I too would choose jaddu for his batting and fielding skills. I am speaking strictly of bowling calibre. Same with Kumble and Ashwin.

With only bowling calibre, I don't need to remind you that most of the non Test FC matches Jadeja played in was before he was a regular in the Indian team; or that he was genuinely a bits and pieces player in his early days internationally. Aka, highly different from the bowler he later became.

Ashwin probably better at home but doesn't have Kumble's exposure abroad for anyone to make an unbiased, unegotistical, un-"I'll die on this hill"-type judgement. If he did play as often outside India, I reckon he'd have fared about as well as Kumble and then we could've named him undisputed greatest Indian spinner. He's * probably * won India more games at home too but I'm not sure if that isn't simply a function of India getting to play more Tests than before.

Ashwin can't have Kumble's overseas exposure simply due to the pace attack.
Same thing with Murali.
Ashwin has played a considerable role in both BGTs 18 and 20 as well as Bang, SL, WI where his output is at par with his home output.

Whatever it takes!!!
Ash is pretty clearly better than Kumble as a bowler alone. Deniers just like to live in some lalaland.
Add his batting and its a no-brainer.
The only spinners better than Ashwin in the last 50 years would be Murali and Warne.

he doesn't get dropped. pacers get picked ahead of him because eng/sa are cowards who specifically prepare tracks to nullify his skills
plays all games in aus if he is fit
sit down

Man, this would've been so useful against Murali and Warnie.

Well, India didn't need to do that to nullify them.

We wanted them to play as much as possible, in fact

Not really. SA and England have prepared pitches specifically for India with less spin support, than against any other country. Mostly due to Ashwin.
