Ashwin has failed India overseas yet again when it matters

[express bowling]

Why the * is Ashwin bowling so many variations  ?  This is not a bloody T20 !

 

Why can't he bowl some good old fashioned off spin and aim at the rough more often  !

[Sachinism]

One of the pundits made a great point, where fast bowlers are able to hunt in a pack. There's usually 3-4 of them to exploit the conditions when they're in their favour.

Whereas there's usually only one spinner and when there is something in the pitch for them, suddenly they're expected to run through the side. Which brings incredible pressure on them to deliver.

 

Regardless Ashwin has been quite poor. Never looked a threat, whereas Moeen consistently posed a threat to our batsmen.

More than not taking wickets, his inconsistency was frustrating. Last I saw him bowling this bad was 2012 Home series vs England. He was bowling 6 balls in same area not giving any room to cut.

Today it was filthy. Short balls full tosses carrom balls and all filth

I am from South. Ashwin is a rich spoilt kid and a product of rich coaching classes. TNCA is probably the worst cricket association in the country. We can never see a Umesh or Jaddu or even a Dhoni from TN. 

If someone is supporting Ashwin cause he is from TN then he is supporting the wrong guy

 iam not referring any South Indian . You know whom I referred some ‘sensible’ person.

Nah... apparently he is taking a dig at me. 

 

Poor kiddo. Leave him alone. 

[AmreekanDesi]

Ashwin started so well this series so I was very hopeful

 

And he has been poor ever since and that has been so disappointing to see.

 

Esp so far this match where he has gotten as good conditions as he will ever get in SENA

 

Also... Dont buy this injury excuse

a) If youre injured then dont play but if you play you will be judged by normal standards

b) I find it very convenient that whenever Ashwin fails somehow talk of him being injured crops up

time to drop his ass overseas....

I think more than Ashwin under performing, it was about Indian batsmen under performing vs Moeen. Some of Moeen's wickets were absolutely gifted. That placed a heavy burden on Ashwin. This performance will be put into better context after Moeen's performance in the 4th innings.

Ashwin and Rahane have been biggest failures this test. Atleast Ashiwn has some 5 fr Rahane does not have anything to show..hope he showsup during chase

He should've worked in Cognizant instead of playing cricket.

Ashwin should pick up Curren's wicket every time. Sadly Curren targets him. With lot of lefties he should run through them with accurate bowling.

Combination of both. Ashwin should not be as bad as this. Moeen should not be as good as this. 

[Vilander]

Ashwin is not able to get curran. Simple. India lost because of this. Eng won because of this. let us hope this test India wins on back of Kohli and Pujara and Rahane, need some luck going Indias way.. 4 *ing toss' in a row..how unlucky can India get. 

[gattaca]

Drop Ashwin he doesn’t seem to have it in him. Poor from Kohli too should have played Jadeja instead of him. Ashwin already had injury don’t know what Kohli is thinking.

If someone target you have better chance of getting the wicket it’s just Ashwin doesn’t have it in him.
