Ravichandran Ashwin vs Michael Holding

Dravid sucked against quality bounce but he was so good against swing I'd take him over Ashwin btw

Also much better away record.

as overall players maybe but in primary discipline both Ashwin and Williamson are monsters at home and mediocre away so it's pretty consistent, if Williamson had an Ashwin level secondary discipline as an overall player he might be Dravid tier too.

Dravid do have some absolutely Top tier performances away in THAT WI tour against Walsh, Ambrose and Bishop.

the 97 tour? yeah that was impressive, I rate him as an overall player of pace, it's just SA and Aus high speed bounce that I think he struggled with

Ashwin being a bit underrated away from home. Not in the very top tier away but averages under 25 outside of India since the 2014/15 BG series.

Exclude records in WI.

Exclude records in WI.

In SENA since that series he's played 17 tests and taken 52 wkts at an average of 32 and sr of 73. SL,
Ban and WI included : 32 tests 134 wkts at 25.85 and sr of 55.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Since 2015, Ashwin has great away numbers everywhere except SA



Look at those stats. Regarding the "he gets dropped" thing, if you're being honest , you should probably admit that him being dropped isn't proof he sucks away from home, rather it's proof that the Indian team management are a bunch of dummies and are making a mistake. The numbers don't lie .

I view Ashwin’s bowling a bit like Anderson’s bowling. Both had poor starts but improved away later in their careers. Obviously Ashwin is a significantly better cricketer though because of his batting.

Ok but we are comparing entire careers here.
