There is no need to bring Lillee everytime when there is a discussion on Ashwin/ Jadeja . There is absolutely no doubt that both of them ( Ashwin in particular ) have failed in SENA countries . If they were good we should have won atleast 1 of the test series in SA or ENG last year . Still can't believe how poorly Ashwin bowled in 2nd test in SA and 4th test in ENG . They both are definitely favourable track bully . plz don't make this another IND vs AUS thread .

My prediction is that G Smith will crack the top 20 and be the highest ranked bat averaging sub 50. The changes to the formula benefit him a lot.

He does have a surprisingly high strike rate for a batsman not really known for being all that aggressive.

All Smiths are batting trolls who have a style which tricks bowlers into aiming at their pads because they crab across the pitch. Then they milk you to death.

Mitchell Johnson also keeps Graeme's shattered left thumb on his mantle piece, after breaking it about 74 times across his career.

You guys really decided to repeat the Jadeja discussion from last year on the fourth page of the batting countdown I see. Interesting choice.

Jadeja has has dropped to no.34 recently.

The ultimate troll.

To be fair, he has the 13th best record against quality opposition.

Oh, and Laker is ranked no.20 after taking a ton of wickets in favorable home conditions but that’s ok cuz #playedlongago #blackandwhitefootage #nostalgia

This is an elite post. Also Herath > every other left arm spinner. IIRC Laker wasn't so flash against the 3 Ws either but no one remembers that.

This is an elite post as well. We often times are romanticized by instagram pictures that are heavily filtered, and those that are vintage, black and white...not sepia tho (everyone hates that...except J-Roc).
