Lyon vs Swann vs Jadeja vs Mushtaq

[PlayerComparisons]

How would you rank these 4 in tests?

 

[ataraxia]

Yet another thr-

 

[TheJediBrah]

Saqlain > Jadeja > Swann = Lyon

 

[subshakerz]

Saqlain > Jadeja > Swann = Lyon

No way is Jadeja better than Swann. Swann is an actual matchwinner outside the subcontinent.

 

[Victor Ian]

Where is Kallis?

 

[Xuhaib]

The different Mushy for me who is not in the poll he is the biggest outside sub cont match winning Spinner from Asia.

 

[Johan]

assuming its test cricket other why the **** swann , Swann outside Asia ( succeded pretty much everywhere except Australia ) , Jadeja Inside Asia ( even though Swann was a banger in Asia with 26 average ).

Saqlain comes third , averaging 35+ in SENAW , Lyon the last , not a bad bowler but just not as good from what I've seen of all.

I'm of the opinion Swann maybe our best Limited Overs bowler ever, mind you it's not a crowded argument.

For England , Def top 3-4 with Flintoff , Gough and Maybe Woakes

I don't think Jadeja is as good as his numbers make him out to be outside Asia. Largely a support bowler.

 

[BazBall21]

1) Saqlain
2) Swann
3) Jadeja
4) Lyon

 

[BazBall21]

Would Ashwin top that group?

 

[Xuhaib]

Would Ashwin top that group?

Yes equal to Swann

Ashwin/Swann
Saqi
Lyon/Jaddu

 

[Migara]

Swann > Saqlain > Lyon > Jadeja

However Jadeja has tge potential to beat all of them. If he bats the way hw bats now, he can afford to be fourth in that list too.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Swann had a very short career for a pom

60 Tests, that's like 3 years of cricket

I just can't get my head around rating Saqlain all that highly when he was completely cut by age 27

Like I know Pakistan selection politics are crazy, but that's a pretty major question mark over a career

Would've been the youngest player in the first ODI against Australia.

Played entirely before age 30 = never played at all

His knees were ruined. PCB apparently did not spent for his medical needs and he was managed by a traditional healer, as usual they do, has ****ed the condition up. When he came back for that test (and hastily brought back) he was only a shadow of his former self. Later when he moved to England, he did receive some quality care, and was doing well for his county. Certain time I think he was very close to selection for English team as well. If it would have happened, that would have been epic.
