NEW DELHI: Paul Adams, a former South African Test cricketer, believes Australian spinner Nathan Lyon is a more "complete" bowler than his Indian counterpart Ravichandran Ashwin. Adams made this statement on Tuesday while discussing the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia.
Both Lyon and Ashwin are considered among the best spinners in contemporary cricket, with over 500 Test wickets each. However, Adams believes Lyon's ability to adapt to different conditions gives him an edge.
