sandeep Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 That hip strain is a chronic issue for him. Quite unfair for a lot of folks to call him fat etc. Obviously the team thinks that Ashwin at 80% is still a good bet. Players are human beings and bound to have a bad spell here and there, a few cheap dismissals, poor shots etc. Are we fans of Team India or only of winning? Link to comment

chewy Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This England has 7 lefties, 5 are in the bottom half Expected Ashwin to feast on them after fine fast bowling should ell from quicks Should have done better vs likes of Curran, Moeen, Broad doesnt look fit at all UrmiSinhaRay, asterix and Adi BB 2 1 Link to comment
sensible-indian Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) To be honest, his pivot still sucks. Watch his action after Ali smashed him for a 6. That was proper bowling. After 2 balls, he reverted back. Lol. Edited August 30, 2018 by sensible-indian UrmiSinhaRay, Adi BB and ravishingravi 1 2 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Haven't watched even a single ball of this test. What's the fuss about ? Is the niggle that he had in previous test aggravated ? If so, we did have replacement spinners in squad. Was there any point in selecting a half fit player (if that was the case) and cause more problems for Ashwin ? UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
VT87 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Tell me one match winning performance by him in overseas , even Pandya has one fifer on his short career. You are suppose to be best spinner not part timer. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

asterix Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don’t care what he does but it’s pathetic that his bag of tricks not at all working against lefty tail Enders... Look the pacers can’t take all the wickets. But India is not able to finish off the tail because of the pitch becoming easy and ball getting soft. That’s where Curran and co scoring runs... From 88/6 they got away... Only because the so called bag of tricks not working at all. Both the wickets he got was when batsman trying to hit out... If they don’t hit out, can easily play him...

You know how many overs he bowled to English tail? Broad 1 over.... Alnost gone 2 times. Anderson 1 ball.... Curran got out. He picked up Moeen Ali. Got Curran lbw (umpire's call). Was taken off the attack after picking up a wicket. Exactly pinpoint the instances in the match where he let it slip away.

rtmohanlal Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 i don't understand the OTT criticism Ashwin is getting here.Agreed he could have done a bit more, but 246 still is a fine performance by bowling unit. Now it is up to the batting to show up. Put at least 375 on the board and then can have a chance. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Vilander Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 But the guy is unfit..i mean how can an international fckg athelete whose only work is to stay fit and do a physically astounding job not be more fit than a regular every day joe ??

Nikhil_cric Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Very unfair on Ashwin. The seamers lost the plot when they persisted with an over the wicket line to the left handed batsmen for a while and there simply wasn't sustained pressure from both ends. Considering the conditions and the fact that England were 86/6, this is a poor performance from the seamers except Ishant. Ashwin on a day1 wicket is not expected to do any damage.

asterix Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 ^ Well by the looks of it, he won’t do much damage in England’s second innings too. Hope the pacers finish the tail off ant not bother about Ashwin and his constipated looks... UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Kohli is a shyte Captain. Everybody knows it... Still no excuse for this intelligent bag full of tricks bowler.. It's true Ashwin didn't bowl at his best today. It's also true that he can be an irritating bowler at times with his variations. But I don't get where he floundered today. Here's the timeline: 1. He was introduced for his 2nd over when England went from 86-6 to 122-6 with both Sam and Ali getting their eye in. 2. He kept one end tight with an economy of 2 before he was taken off the attack. Still ended with a decent 2.7 economy. 3. When he was taken off the attack, his numbers read 12 overs 24 runs 1 wicket with a lucky escape for Sam several overs back. Had it been another day, it would have been 12 overs 24 runs 2 wickets and a easy tail to attack. What would have been his final figures then? 4. After he was taken off the attack, our pacers leaked runs and we lost the initiative. By the time he came back in, Sam was in attacking mood. 1 poor over where he gave away 12 runs. His fault. 13 overs 36 runs. 1 wicket. 5. Next over, he looked good and Broad's edge didn't carry which went for 4 and he was taken off the attack again. 14 overs. 40 runs. 1 wicket. 6. Then taken off the attack and pacers leaked runs again. Finally he was brought back on and Curran out. 14.4 overs. 40 runs. 2 wickets. --- So I am curious to know where exactly Ashwin floundered today except for the 1 poor over of a new spell against a set Curran looking to attack. Yes, English had 7 lefties but it's not like track was helping. There was hardly any turn (atleast not enough to beat edges). So where exactly could he have done better to help India today? --- Also last game, he may have picked up only 1 wicket in 2nd innings (bowled just 1 over in 1st innings) but he created a bunch of chances in what little overs he could bowl. 2 lbws going umpire's call (Stokes and Ali or someone else) and quite a few beaten and close calls. That too with injury. Problem I see is that unless and until he wins India a couple of games overseas, every single spell of his will be scrutinized and over analyzed. It's just situation. In Dhoni era, we never looked like winning any of the games. If we honestly have the same level of scrutiny for other bowlers (let alone spinners), a lot of opinions may have to be changed.
