Best Test batter in asian conditions?

[MasterBlaster24]

Who was the best test batter in asian conditions out of these guys?

 

[sayon basak]

Sehwag and Younis are close for me. I lean towards Sehwag.

 

[DrWolverine]

Why isn’t Sachin an option?

 

[Thala_0710]

Surely if Gavaskar and Mahela are options, Sachin must be one too

 

[Qlder]

Sobers averages 75.64 in Asia, just saying

 

[DrWolverine]

vs India & Pakistan in the 1950s & 1960s. Okay

I 've now included him in the poll.

 

[subshakerz]

Sehwag easily once you factor SR and being the best against spin.

smh we need in Asia, not best everywhere

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Ken Barrington averaged 90.30 in Asia!

 

[Coronis]

Younis, cos he didn’t have a weakness in any Asian country.

 

[Sliferxxxx]

Sehwag. He took apart both great spin and great pace in Asia.

other than Pollock, I don't think he did, unless we consider Shoaib great and eh, I don't.

I do especially in asian conditions, but even apart from him, he made great hundreds against Steyn, Mcgrath/Gillespie too.

vs Pollock - 164 off 228 balls
vs Steyn - 319 off 304 balls
vs Steyn - 109 off 139 balls
vs Steyn - 165 off 174 balls

valid, for some reason I started thinking of his struggles with Hilfenhaus, Hoggard and McGrath (2004) instead even tho 2 obviously aren't great.

McGrath, Steyn, Pollock and Akhtar. That's good enough for me. Not to mention how he treated spinners.

Shoaib didn’t have a great career, but he was a better bowler than Pollock.

Peak Shoaib was ridiculous
