Ravichandran Ashwin vs Kapil Dev

[sayon basak]

Kapil easily better batsman, easily better fielder, arguably better bowler.

No

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

No

Yes.
Kapil is arguably 6th best Asian bowler after Akram, Murali, Imran, Waqar and Bumrah.

Big supporter of Kapil, but no. He isn't. He isn't better than Ashwin or Kumble.

And that is, if we ignore Ashwin.

Yeah..... Shri also over did. Jadeja, Mahmood and especially Shami are some quite big stretches I ain't making.

Less than 25 avg Series Away

Kumble 4, 3 against BAN and ZIM
Kapil 4, 2 agianst WI 2 against AUS

Kapil bowled with zero support, he was both strike bowler and stock bowler. Work load was heavy.
I consider Kapil as 26 avg bowler after adjusting all these factors.

Kapil, Kumble, Akthar.. All fall just under ATG category.

Kapil > Akthar
Even CW agree on that. Check poll results.

Yeah fair. But in Kumble's best away series, 2003 in Australia, he averaged almost 30.

Kapil is the better bowler, better batsman, better fielder, better captain, better away from home, better leader of the attack, better count of fifers aaay from home, better count of MOTm away from home.



Also better analyst, I loved the way he called out Stokes taking mental break as a drama, according to him Mental break, depression, pressure are American words and cricketers should play cricket only if they enjoy it.

I am sure Ashwin is pro mental break.

So Kapil is also an alpha male while Ashwin is beta.

ps- before some beta includes SriLanka , Bangladesh in away conditions, I am talking about SENA

Yes this improves my impression of Kapil as a person.
