So Ravi Ashwin has 1903 runs @ 32.25 and 275 wickets at 25.22. Can he match or overtake Imran Khan as the best allrounder from Asia ?
 
Please don't tell me I just read what I just read. Ashwin - sorry to say - is not worth the dirt on Imran Khan's 30 year old sneakers.
 
Of course Ashwin > Imran.




















Imran is 60+. How fast he can bowl now? On top of that I don't think he is fit to bowl 4 overs at one go. I bet he would needed glasses to bat as well.

You are seriously uderestimating Ashwin. He can easily end up with 4000 test runs @ 35 and 500 wickets @ 25.

IK averaged 50 with bat and 19 with ball in his last 10 years of international cricket. 'Live in the past' is hardly what we're doing. To compare a very good player to a legend is obnoxious to say the least.
 
Ashwin first has to match the batting aesthetics of Yasir Shah.

:najam
 
No, but he can easily become the third best Asian all-rounder after Imran and Kapil. Terrific cricketer, definitely a legend in the making.

Wow. I thought cricket was played over a whole career instead of 'last 10 years'. But what can you say about a team which has fallen so far that fans have to keep finding solace in the achievements of players who retired 30 years ago.

I think, in terms of stats and records he will surpass Imran easily, but he lacks the charisma and aura of IK.

No solace, just facts. And I thought we're talking about allrounders, not current teams? If you want to discuss about my team nowadays then I'd be glad to.

I merely mentioned IK's averages because OP mentioned Ashwins. If you want his overall numbers then he averages 38 and 23 with bat and ball resoectively. A time where IK was facing the best fast bowling attacks in the world. I especially said his last 10 years since usually that's when you decline, but IK just got better. Can't say the same about most people.

If the thread was rephrased then I'd agree that he probably is the current best allrounder in Asia.

Just don't get salty when IK is and will always will be better than Ashwin unless he manages to average under 15 with the ball and over 75 with the bat from here on out. He's undoubtedly the best Pakistani to ever play the game and to say Ashwin will be better than that is, like I said, obnoxious.

What, if he ends up with 4000+ runs @ 35 and 500 wickets @ 25 ? An average of 25 is great for a spinner. IK had a batting average of 37 and bowling average of 22, but he was a fast bowler.
 
Imran played in a totally different era when there weren't many flat tracks. He didn't get tracks that were seaming miles to get his wickets.

No disrespect to Ashwin, he is very good, but Imran is a legend.
 
Imran is the undisputed GOAT all rounder from Asia.

Ashwin is good but won't come close to Imran as an all rounder.
 
The key in measuring alrounders skills are the difference between the average of Batting and bowling. A player must play certain amount of games, score certain amount of runs, and take certain number of wickets.

50 test, 2k runs, 100+ wickets.

Surely Ashwin will get his 50th test in near future.
+++
Ashwin's difference of average is 7.0.

Imran's difference of average is 14.88. lol. Double and some. What stat are we talking about now?

To put in to prospective here are the other greats:

Sobers 23.74.
Kallis 22.61.
 
Ashwin the batsman is not genuine quality.

His bowling is world class but won't rate him as an AR.

This is ofcourse without considering stats only. I think one can tell that Ashwin is not a quality batsman. I am aware he has some useful knocks but if he was in the side only for his batting how well would he have performed often?

He would need to have better stats than Mushtaq Mohammad and Wasim Akram....
 
Imran Khan can walk into any XI on basis of his bowling alone. I think that says enough about his ability as an all-rounder.

Different class than these pseudo all-rounders ;)

Imran was a fast bowler but he played on dead Pakistani tracks.... He took wickets all over the world.... Ashwin is good on Indian dust bowls and West Indies but he fails everywhere else....
There is zero comparison between them as bowlers... As batsman Imran has a higher average so again he wins....
 
[MENTION=142481]Nil Dhumrojal[/MENTION] I agree that, if Shakib played on Indian dustbowls, he would average much lower.... But I said that "statistically Ashwin is better" which is true...
 
Mushtaq Mohammad

Batting average: 39
Bowling average: 29

Difference: 10

Greatest spin all-rounder from Asia???

But how many matches he played?
Click to expand...

57 test matches.... 3600 runs and 70 wickets.... But at that time Pakistan didn't play a lot....

He has similar averages in county cricket... 30 000 FC runs and 936 wickets....

So you know his international averages aren't a fluke....
 
Even Shakib is galaxies ahead of Ashwin as a batsman. Ask Ashwin to score a double hundred in lethal conditions of NZ and then we can speak.

Why lose the decimal? 7.02 for your beloved. 7.88 for Shakib. That's why.

The decimal doesn't prove who's better. It just shows who is a more genuine all-rounder. Whoever has a lower decimal, is more genuine. In this case, it's Ashwin.

are you serious? So an average of 25 and 25 or (30 and 30) would be the BEST GENUINE alrounder? Since the difference is zero? Wow!! Learn something knew everyday. Thanks Rayyman.

You're welcome. Glad you understood.

Just in case you were being sarcastic, I did not state who is better. I just stated who is more of a rounded player. While the other is more of a "batting" all-rounder. As shown by the stats.
 
And yeah, Shakib > Ashwin.

Salty Indians like [MENTION=141829]geraltofrivia[/MENTION] can suck it up - they'll never find anyone like Imran. Whether they compare their jobbers with Imran's first 10 years, last 10 years, first 10 days, etc. won't matter - Imran will be Imran and you won't catch up to him. [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]

Shakib carries his team, whereas Ashwin gets dropped on overseas tours to protect his numbers and try to make them comparable to Imran in some shape or form. :lol

So unless, they can peep into their crystal ball and tell how Ashwin is going to do the next few years, i suggest they refrain from making silly statements like dirt on sneakers and all.

Yes Imran is an ATG, no doubt about it, I am just pointing at the double standards of our friendly neighbors over here who jump on the defensive when an upcoming pak batsman is compared with an indian great, and quote performances after 'x' games.

Rest my case!

Kallis bowling isn't that great. He was an average bowler. His batting was world class. I still think Sober, Imran and Botham were the best all-rounders of all time.

Kallis was a batting all-rounder. The difference between his batting and bowling averages is a massive 22.3, which is only 2nd to Sir Garfield Sobers.
 
Right now Ashwin is behind Imran khan unless he improves a lot in upcoming years especially his overseas performance then he can challenge Imran khan. Very unlikely but can happen..

What do you mean by 'right now'. Does it mean Imran after his entire career and Ashwin after 49 tests? If yes then I agree.

I already put out stats after 49 tests and Ashwin is ahead.

Yes, Ashwin may not or rather , most likely,will not be able to up his game to reach what Imran did at latter stages of his career, but that is a whole different story.

This is a classic bait thread and sadly everyone has fallen for it.

If a batting all-rounder averages 50 with the bat and 35 with the ball, his difference will be 15... If a bowling all-rounder averages 18 with the ball and 30 with the bat, his difference will be only 12.... But the bowling all-rounder is obviously better.... It is easier for batting all-rounders to have a big difference between averages.... Because the batting average has a bigger range, 50 to 60 is the same thing as 18 to 23....

Ofcourse Imran has finished his career and his overall career is far better than what Ashwin has achieved so far... Ashwin still has 6-7 years probably so you never know what he can achieve.. It's highly unlikely he will surpass Imran but who knows what future holds..

Still, people rate batting all-rounders higher, thats why Garry Sobers is universally regarded as the best all-rounder.

what ever he does in my opinion he will be below even kapil dew,,his batting technique would not be that he will win u matches with the bat like kapil and imran did,,,,,he will be 3rd best allrouder at his best...

Well, what if he scores 4000 + test runs @35 and gets 500 wickets @25? Imran scored 3807 runs at 37.69 and took 362 wickets @ 22.81. I think 500 wickets @ 25 > 362 wickets @ 23. And I certainly think Ashwin can achieve those stats as he can play 6-7 years more.

How exactly is 25 better than 22??? Overall wickets doesn't matter since people used to play less then.... Imran played 20 years and took as many wickets as possible (365 is a lot for the time)...

Ashwin can't be the best allrounder FROM Asia, not even close but he could the best IN Asia, has he performs only in Asia and not in Australia, NZL, SA and England.

Imran would still be better.. In his primary discipline which is bowling Imran is arguably a top 5 bowler ever.. Ashwin is not that level unless in he next 6-7 years he performs at 18-22 average in bowling with multiple top notch performances abroad he won't reach Imran's level..

Number of wickets don't matter when both bowlers have more than 300 wickets otherwise people will consider Walsh as a better bowler than ambrose but I doubt you will find anyone in PP who considers that..

Ashwin has saved or won few games by scoring crucial centuries or half centuries in last few years.. His batting is good for tests and can still get better.. Kapil ofcourse is the best AR from India and he was a fast bowling AR and one of a kind so far in Indian cricket history, but Ashwin can overtake him depending on his future performances..

People won't rate Ashwin because he plays most of his matches on so called rank turners in India against opposition who are very poor against spin.. So it's very tough for Ashwin to overtake KD Or IK

But Ashwin is a spinner. Warne also has a bowling average of 25, and he is an automatic selection in most all time XI's. So, I certainly feel that if Ashwin can maintain his current bowling average over the course of 500 wickets, he certainly will go down as an ATG bowler and if he also keeps up his batting, that would make him an ATG all-rounder too.

Warne played his home matches in Australia and it is my opinion that the quality of batsmen against spin was much higher in Warne's era than it is today in Ashwin's era.. Ashwin's true test would have been a series against Pakistan with YK in decent form.. If he had performed well in that series I would have rated him very highly..

There is no denying Ashwin can go down as an ATG AR however your question was comparing him to IK which will be nearly impossible for him to achieve..

Also if you ask someone like @harsh thokar or [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] or [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] the old guys here they will probably rate Bedi or Prassana as the best spinner to come out of India instead of Ashwin.. I might be wrong about that but my dad rates Bedi and Prassana above Ashwin..
 
Ashwin is a fantastic allrounder right now but no way is he better than Imran.
 
:))

There is a better chance of Ahmed Shehzad averaging 90+ in all formats for the next ten years. Like someone else said, Ashwin isn't worth the dust on Imran's shoes as a cricketer. His bowling average is built solely upon conditions that are tailor-made for him and his batting although decent, is not at the level of Imran.

Imran Khan is the greatest all-rounder of all time. Ashwin would do well to match Shakib ul Hasan.

Meh, Warne's avg in India and WI were equally horrible too. Ash just has a bad experience in Australia. His Eng avg even though at a paltry sample set of 2 games is much better than Warne's avg in WI and India :D

That's because Warne has performed in more conditions than indian dustbowls and west indies spin tracks..... What ATG bowler has averages like Ashwin's in Australia and England???
 
Guy averages 55 in Australia and 33 in England.... Doesn't have an average in South Africa since he couldn't take a wicket there.... But according to some he is an ATG bowler already because he has the same average as Warne :))

Congrats, Ashwin had a better start to his career but that doesn't guarantee success. A career is called a career for a reason but yes I agree it was a bait thread, and is a stupid one at that. It's like comparing Sachin with QDK - like, really????? :danish

Well, no one is saying that he is an ATG bowler already, all I am saying that if he maintains his current bowling average over his whole career and let's say end up with 500 test wickets, he will certainly be an ATG bowler.

I counted five places where Ashwin has been horrible or hasn't shown that he won't be horrible. Warne, on the other hand, only failed in two countries. I believe you know that five is greater than two.

If Babar Azam maintains his current average for the next 400 games, he'll be the best ODI batsman from Asia. What exactly is the point of these statements? Any batsman or bowler who maintains a great average over a long period of time goes down as an ATG. The point is that only a very small minority end up doing so.

Well, thats the point, ofcourse time will tell, but I certainly feel that its not beyond the scope of Ashwin's ability.
