Ashwin - The ATG Spinner

honestbharani

Whatever it takes!!!
The fact that Ash is now legitimately an ATG bowler and spinner (he was there as a cricketer a while before) AND India continuing to do so well is gonna ensure subzi is at his salty worst for a fair while now on the forum, and that is just funny. :laugh:

Maybe it would have been funny if you didn't recycle the same comment three-four times by now.

You didn't answer my question. Who are your other ATG spinners?

C'mon man. GOAT is taken. Don't turn this into some of that AB style bull****.

Ashwin can still be the sheep, or the cow. Maybe the llama or antelope. He can't be rhino. He could be the camel. Maybe peacock!
He can be the sperm whale. Biggest brain of all the animals.

I disagree with a lot of this but the two that stand out are that Lyon is way too low and Harbhajan shouldn’t be there.

Never seen someone on a Gupte train tbh

It's unusual but definitely not unheard of. Gupte did have a peak where he took 111 wickets in 22 matches at a sub 25 average over a roughly 6 year period mind.
His record is massively boosted by poor NZ and Pakistani batting lineups. Definitely doesn’t deserve top 10.

I agree and would definitely have him behind Kumble and Chandra as Indian leggies. The bigging up of Gupte isn't unique to Bagapath though.
