it is like saying Root can't be a great player because he got dropped once in his career.
or Smith for the matter both got dropped from the Test team.
Need to check if Kohli got dropped in the team, not sure on him yet.

As for all-rounders. I'd have Dev well ahead of him.

kumble was awful overseas in his first part of the career.
Harby wasn't that great either.
TBH my point was really based on why is their always talk of Ashwin shouldn't play overseas anymore because he failed in his first tour.
Although TBH only Shanky really makes that point.
Although agree with your point Ashwin needs to prove himself overseas, but don't agree with the point that he shouldn't get the opportunity now because he failed first time around.

I won't rate Ashwin as India's best spinner ever. India's best spinner should be capable of bowling well in all conditions. I haven't watched the famous Indian spin trio of yesteryear's, but whoever has watched them talks highly of each of the trio.

I didn't say that.
Back to harby and Kumble. I don't know their records, but they always seemed to well over here, and in Aus. Of course the stats may not say that.
