Switchblade Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Quote https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/india-in-england/i-know-what-to-expect-in-england-ashwin/articleshow/64796110.cms "I know what to expect in England, in terms of weather and pitches. Worcester's home ground is New Road, which is a very difficult track to bowl on. I enjoyed my cricket there. I also bowled a lot with the duke ball during my stint. At this point in time, it's not as difficult as bowling with the SG ball. So I think it should be fine," Ashwin said during the launch of his TNPL team Dindigul Dragons jersey here on Wednesday. "Whether it is August or September, it never ceases to amaze me how the English weather keeps changing all the time. I don't think that will be a factor. Our fast bowlers have done well in South Africa and we batted pretty well too. The kind of overall unit we have with the five bowlers, we always fancy our chances. Going into the second innings, the spinners are always going to come into play," observed Ashwin, who hinted at a possible return to Worcestershire at the fag end of the 2018 season. "Nothing for me is experimentation. There is logic behind whatever I do. Before I bowled a delivery of leg-spin in IPL, I have done about, probably, a lakh of balls in practice. The thought process alone is experimentation. What I might do tomorrow in a game, I really don't know. As a Test cricketer, I pretty much know what is important in a Test match. If I had to bowl a bunch of leg spinners and googlies, I would have done it even in the Afghanistan Test," he said. "It entirely depends on what other people perceive of my cricket. It's definitely not in my control. Like any other cricketer, I want to wear the blue jersey and represent India at the World Cup. That's obviously there deep within. At this stage of my career, physically and mentally, I am just focusing on enjoying cricket. If I land an opportunity I want to be in good frame of mind to take it with both hands." Link to comment

Gollum Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Good to hear, I am sure India's greatest matchwinner of all time will do well against a team with 7-8 lefties. Only hope catchers support him and not screw him over like they did in SA. His runs down the order will be vital. Kuldeep should play in Australia but this series must feature Ash/Jaddu.Sent from my SM-G350E using Tapatalk UnknownGenius and cowboysfan 2 Link to comment

He lacks experience to Wnt contribute with bat as close to ashwin Link to comment

He may fail , but he has done enough to be allowed to earn that failure As of now he hasnt been given a proper run acc to me . Also hope his county exp will come in handly in many ways UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

rtmohanlal Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) One think for sure.... I do not consider strange at all to play all the 5 all rounders(i mean who can hold the bat at the least effectively namely Ashwin,Jadeja,Kuldeep,Pandya & Bhuvi) in the eleven in England test series. What ever these hacks Pujara, Dhwan,Rohit(or any new comer) combined can do, the 5 all rounders in the team can definitely do together combined. And that would provide much variety in bowling too Edited July 1, 2018 by rtmohanlal UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
