Can Ashwin become fastest to 300 wickets?

[Trichromatic]

He needs to take 8 wickets in 2 matches, but seeing what happened in first test, it seems that he might not get many overs to bow.

[Lala2790]

It's what happens when you play soooooo many games in the SC.

 

If he had a 60/40 split of SC-non-SC games he'd be mid to low 200's

Depends on what kind of surfaces are provided for next 2 matches. If nagpur pitch is like one we got in 2004 then I dont think he will able to get it in this series.

60-40? Most teams play 60% matches at home itself.

Most teams are 50/50 or less.  SA, Aust and NZ all play 5 home tests per year and 7 - 8 away tests.

 

Ashwin likely plays 60% at home alone then multiple away games on the SC.

 

Little wonder that this has inflated his aggregate yet he constantly fails in Eng/Aust conditions

Cook - 82 home, 65 away

Anderson - 76 home, 53 away

Herath 46 home, 40 away

Sanga 75 home, 59 away

Steyn 46 home, 39 away

 

Yeah, that's 50-50 or less. 

 

Constantly failed in Eng. When?

Not many Australian's or New Zealanders on the list as I stated.  Herath and Steyn confirmed less than 60%.  Little secret that Eng and Ind play more home games than away. Aswin averages nearly 32 away at a strike rate of 60 - http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Players/PlayerHomeAway.asp?PlayerID=3788#bowl

 

His overseas record is clearly poor and if he had a more even spread of SC-non Sc games he would be around the low-mid 200's.

 

He is not better than Warne, Muarali, Kumble, Herath, Mushtaq, Harbarjahn; his record flatters him

Most Aus/Eng/SL players play 60% games at home. Indian players play 50% or less. 

 

Find one player from Aus, Eng and SL who have played 50% or less in 80+ tests. From India, I can say that SRT, Dravid, Gavaskar all would be on the list.

Depends how good or bad our seamers do. If they don’t do as well as previous test, he will get more overs and then he can surely achieve.

My stats have already debunked your theory - Asherwin cashes in at home but flops away.  If he had a more even distribution of away vs home games his record would look vastly different.
