imo Barrington is worse in India.

I don't see how you can top Lloyd.
Three excellent series. Lloyd did excellently against the quartet also.
Younis was top too but very batting friendly pitches. Cook is another good shout-out.

Lloyd for me.
Also, Damien Martyn, Neil Harvey, and Garry Kirsten deserves a mention, Imo.

Flower played similar quality Indian bowling with regards to spin. Pace bowling was definitely better in Flower's days. And Flower was the lonely man. Lloyd had Viv and Kallicharran. Flower, Barrington, Sobers and Lloyd all are par for me. Lloyd was the most brutal out of them when it came to hitting, so he has the points.

Flower's wickets were exceptionally flatter.

Cook deserves a mention for 2012 tour and runs besides that.

Lloyd's predecessor in Sir Frank Worrell never played representing West Indies in India as far as I know, but he represented the British commonwealth XI in India in 1949-1950-1951, playing against what was the first choice test team at the time in unofficial test matches, here were his numbers.
1,231 runs @ 72.41 with 9 fifties and 3 hundreds in 20 innings.
33 wickets @ 31.5, and bowled 40+ overs and 50+ overs at times.
India won the serieses but still.

Could you provide the numbers of Compton in India? He has really good numbers in FC matches in SC.
Compton 1306 runs @ 87.06; 7 centuries
Hassett 826 @ 82.60; 4 centuries
Duleepsinhji 301 @ 75.25; 1 century
Rhodes 599 @ 66.55; 2 centuries
Worrell 4373 @ 64.30; 14 centuries
H Sutcliffe 523 @ 59.11; 2 centuries
Hobbs 593 @ 53.90; 2 centuries

As far as I know, Compton only played Domestic Cricket in India and not unofficial tests so hard to say how it'd translate to direct Test Cricket, so not really compareable to Worrell. But, Hassett, Sutcliffe, Hobbs, Duleep all also only played FC so you can definitely say he outdid them in India by a pretty large margin.
He also averaged more than Merchant on his own wickets in the 1944-45 Ranji season.

is this just for Zimbabwe/West Indies or is India included too?

India included. Otherwise it is heavily biased. I hope my tinkering with Statsguru was correct
