Jimmy Anderson vs Ashwin

[Burgey]

Both terrible

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Both terrible

Who is less terrible?

 

[Burgey]

It's a tie

 

[BazBall21]

Ashwin even better at home. But I think Anderson has done more overseas by a big enough margin to swing it.

 

[Aidan11]

Anderson = GOAT.

 

[Gob]

I see that Anderson is bowling well again so is it safe to assume that the bloke wasn't past his best in the ashes instead just went on to have the usual mediocre out put in ashes cricket since 2010/11?

Or was there some broken toe nail as an excuse?

 

[Coronis]

Was it cloudy in India? Didn’t watch the match

 

[honestbharani]

I think Anderson enjoys bowling with a hand stitched seam ball. But even that does not explain his lack of success against Australia in England.

 

[MasterBlaster24]

Tough one.

 

[Johan]

Jimmy because Longevity and better away at peak.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Anderson the better bowler

Ashwin the better cricketer

 

[DrWolverine]

Ashwin is more dangerous at home than Jimmy

Ashwin is more dangerous at home than Jimmy

That's because the pitches are more supportive. Anderson still had a decent share of flat tracks

Ashwin too lol

 

[sayon basak]

Ashwin too lol

Anderson better with the bat tho.

 

[subshakerz]

Ashwin too lol

Not nearly as many IMO. Anderson had several full series of them entirely like SA 2012, SL 2014 Pak 2016 or even the most recent Ashes.

Meh. Ashwin is better at home, I think you can atleast acknowledge that much as well.

Slightly more deadly yes once pitches are taken in. But Anderson is just notably better in SC conditions than Ashwin is in SENA.

In fact, I consider Anderson one of the best dead pitch performers ever in SC.

VERY much pushing it

Anderson had the accuracy and conventional swing mastery to not be taken to cleaners in Asia until the ball gets old and he can start reverse swing. his skillset for Asia is definitely more complete than Ashwin's for SENA.
