Ashwin vs Jadeja

[subshakerz]

Not who is better, but who would you select if it's a no.8 spot in an Indian ATG XI

 

[Thala_0710]

It depends on the rest of the team no... Ideally I'd have both... And if you're including Kapil at 7 with Kumble at 9, picking Jadeja I'd bat him at 7 ahead of Kapil....
Having said all that, I'd go Ashwin

 

[capt_Luffy]

For now, Both really. Having them + Kapil is the only way we can afford 5 bowlers.

It depends on the rest of the team

1. Gavaskar.
2. Sehwag.
3. Dravid.
4. Tendulkar.
5. Virat.
6. Pant.
7. Kapil
8.
9.
10.
11. Bumrah

I am assuming this is the Indian ATG test team.

 

[DrWolverine]

One thing I am very certain.
Not picking Ashwin away from home.(WI doesn’t count)
Even Jadeja’s bowling record is poor outside of India.

All Indian spinners except Chandrashekhar and to extents Kumble, Gupte and Bedi, have middling away records.

Jaiswal and Kuldeep can play in SENA

I'm assuming the same xi plays both home and away.
For that I'd go jaddu at 7, Kapil at 8, Ash at 9 and then the 2 pacers

Assuming you have Kapil @ 7.
Who are your four bowlers in Indian ATG 11?

Jadeja at 7, Kapil at 8, Ashwin at 9, Shami at 10 and Bumrah at 11.

If it's only one you can select

 

[subshakerz]

Selecting three spinners in an Indian ATG XI is mental. That team won't win outside the SC.

That's obvious. We're selecting only Ashwin and Jadeja but, no Kumble

 

[DrWolverine]

Kapil @ 7.
Home : Bumrah. Jadeja. Ashwin. Kumble.
Away : Bumrah. Zaheer. Srinath/Kumble. Chandra.
At home, we are going to win 9 out of 10 times.
At away, I would rather we have 3 pacers.

Away you need Jadeja for Srinath/Kumble, or the batting will be too weak.

Fair enough.
Jadeja @ 8 instead of Srinath/Kumble

 

[subshakerz]

That's obvious. We're selecting only Ashwin and Jadeja but, no Kumble

That's also mental for me because Kumble can win you the odd game overseas.

We are sticking to one side.

But Jadeja/Ashwin will win you many more at home

 

[subshakerz]

Ok but you are still winning at home with Kumble and one of those two.
