Does Jadeja make your India ATG XI?

What Sunil1z said. The difference in bowling isn't big regardless of who you hold superior, and given Ashwin is overall a better bat it seems fine. Get to make up for the 'weakened' 7 you could say in terms of batting.
Is Kumble better than Jadeja as a bowler?

Definitely, Jadeja will add more value to an ATG Indian side. He is an unselfish bowler. He can hold up an end for Ashwin if required and gets through his overs quickly ..Then you throw in his batting and world class fielding then that is exactly what is needed , bar Kohli not a lot of great outfielders in the ATG Indian Test team.

Is it? Looking at the most recent CW poll on spinners, 9 of the top 12 - Warne, O’Reilly, Laker, Grimmett, Verity, Tayfield, Underwood, Gibbs and Benaud - were from outside the SC, vs the 3 from within the SC - Murali, Kumble and Ashwin.
No idea about CW poll but save for Warne, and passable exception of Benaud and Gibbs, all of them are from amateur era for whom there's not enough footage. There's only word of mouth and bare stats. Yeah, not taking that list seriously.

I mean I am supposed to take the claim of Hugh Tayfield being some irresistible spin demon when all South Africa have given is Paul Harris and Pat Symcox since readmission. Please.

Ah, you’re one of those, forgive me. I had no idea.

Not in my top 10 of Indian fielders , good but not great ..Guys like Kaif, Ajay Jadeja , Ravindra Jadeja, Kohli ..These are elite level
Kapil was Ravindra Jadeja of fielders before there was Jadeja. Quick in outfield, bucket hands and a 100 percent safe catcher.

Both Kohli and Kaif were dogsh1t catchers.
