And 500 runs is the benchmark of dominance for you.

And scoring atleast 7 to 8 centuries, averaging atleast 45 in Asia is benchmark of dominance for me.

Not being crap bowler against almost every great player of spin is benchmark for me.
You need to check your privilege. Asia isn't just India. And to "dominate" does not mean "to be consistent over three or four countries". It means to demoralise and frustrate your opponents in a series.

I am genuinely surprised Sachin never scored >500 in a series. I know that in Australia he barely scored a run outside Sydney, but I didn't realise that he never dominated *anywhere* with 14k test runs under his belt.

Yes, Steve waugh and Ponting with average of 40 and total 7 century were certainly dominant in Asia.

Keep shifting the goal post.

The goal posts were that a player should dominate. Normal people interpret that to mean to stamp your authority on a series. Only you say that it means you should achieve a particularly arbitrary average in an arbitrary set of countries.

Ye kya bakchodi hai. The whole thing started with the arbitrary critetria of 500 runs. Sachin stamped his authority on every series he played in by being sachin.

Yes and scoring 7 centuries by 2 ATG batsmen in combined 30 years of cricket between them shows that they were just above average players of spin bowling. Not ATG material by any stretch.

Lesser said about Warne the better.
