Ravindra Jadeja vs Joe Root

[PlayerComparisons]

Two all rounders who made their debuts together in Nagpur

 

[subshakerz]

Lol Root obviously.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Root the better spinner and fielder, but Jadeja the better bat.

 

[ankitj]

Answer is always Jadeja

 

[Anil]

Obviously Jadeja.

 

[ataraxia]

Root-as-a-batter v. Jadeja-as-a-bowler would be close

 

[_00_deathscar]

In all seriousness, clearly Root.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Actually a perfect combo, surprised these two don't come up together more often.

One has questions to answer, the other answers all of them.

 

[subshakerz]

Wow Jadeja actually getting votes on this. Don't know what people are smoking.

Three votes to twelve, if you'll excuse me for a sec who in trying to make sense of rating players as cricketers would prefer Jadeja to Tendulkar.

I am surprised though that Kumble was thumped by Jadeja and Jadeja is thumped by Root. I would have thought most would prefer Root to Kumble but certainly not by two thumpings.

To be fair, cricket is all about matchups.

And so, the answer to yet another thread…

Agreed. Thought this would be closer.
