Yeah that was a fair critique after, say, the SL tour a few years back. But he pretty demonstrably showed that he had improved in winning games in favourable conditions on demand after that (though, still not perfect, as the last Ashes showed).Nah this is not true. Lyon's had success and won games in all conditions.
Jadeja is underrated, but Lyon is clearly the best spinner going around right now.
Rarely cause single handed destruction as Ashwin and Jadeja, Lyon has contributed heavily for wins, but single handedly, no. That is a title worn by jadeja, Ashwin and Herath on their home soils.Except he has, sometimes even when conditions don't suit
weird comment. Of course those 3 are going to do it a lot more on their "home soils". Their home soils is heavily spin-friendly. And they don't have Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins to compete with for wickets.Rarely cause single handed destruction as Ashwin and Jadeja, Lyon has contributed heavily for wins, but single handedly, no.

That is one way to look at. The other way to look at is that they don't have such fast bowlers to bowl on unfriendly conditions to spinners, so he can be pampered from the massacre, and finally to have well rounded stats.weird comment.

You could but that's got nothing to do with you saidThat is one way to look at. The other way to look at is that they don't have such fast bowlers to bowl on unfriendly conditions to spinners, so he can be pampered from the massacre, and finally to have well rounded stats.
Either take both or leave both.You could but that's got nothing to do with you said
You're making the somewhat bold assumption Jadeja will be playing in those conditions, if they arise in a test where India has only picked one spinner. Same goes for Ashwin.Jadeja will win you matches single handed when the conditions suit him. Lyon will not despite being more all rounded.
This is a norm in any online cricket poll...the Indians always get the most votes.Ashwin leading Lyon by 1 vote..
And if they don't, then Cricinfo will call a "glitch" and extend the poll.This is a norm in any online cricket poll...the Indians always get the most votes.
Rarely have they ever reported a glitch, iicr. They always get the results done in the first run.And if they don't, then Cricinfo will call a "glitch" and extend the poll.
This is true on other websites, but not on this forum - there is not an over representation of Indian fans posters on this site. Hence why I wanted to do the poll on this forum where there is not a standout country in terms of regular posters.This is a norm in any online cricket poll...the Indians always get the most votes.
I understand what you are saying. My post wasn't at all that serious.This is true on other websites, but not on this forum - there is not an over representation of Indian fans posters on this site.

Makes the glitch in the T20 greatest player all the less believableRarely have they ever reported a glitch, iicr. They always get the results done in the first run.
