SK_IH Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Quote "It's going to be very hard to replicate one's action. We are talking about actions and biomechanics here, and it's quite silly when people say, oh, it's overspin and sidespin and stuff like that. You've got to still stick to your strengths. You're not going to ask Ishant Sharma to bowl like Philander, can you? It's not going to happen. "You've got to believe in your strengths. Something's got me 350-odd wickets in my Test career, something's got him 300-odd wickets in his career. It's important to keep going the same way and learn a few things on the way. http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/25415061/silly-try-bowl-nathan-lyon-r-ashwin Link to comment
SK_IH Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Its a quandary, to play him or not. Last time Ind actually missed a trick by snubbing him at Adelaide.However, this time may be Kuldeep is actually a better option. Stan AF and sandsaims 2 Link to comment
Stan AF Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 No. It'd be silly to take you in the playing XI. Sgattick10, SK_IH and sandsaims 2 1 Link to comment
The Dark Horse Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm an Ashwin fan myself, but honestly Kuldeep could be a game-changer in tests, like Bumrah. Stan AF 1 Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Better to accept you cannot else you'd have taken more wickets away from home. Went missing when he had the perfect conditions to set the record straight in SA and Eng on multiple occasions. Link to comment
G_B_ Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 at least try to maintain a fit physique like Lyon vvvslaxman 1 Link to comment

gattaca Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The test in England was his biggest failure. A senior guy who couldn't land the ball in rough. Ashwin's biggest problem is getting to land the ball in rough areas consistently. He was out bowled by Moen Ali who is ok spinner. Stan AF 1 Link to comment

He has some ingredients like accuracy, low trajectory. Link to comment
puneet28 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Somebody ask him why the heck you were copying Narine sometime back? Just accept you are no more good than a containing bowler outside SC. Kuldeep should be played in place of him but I know it's not gonna happen. Stan AF 1 Link to comment

Ashwin got out bowled by Lyon in Australia as well in the past and Swann in India as well. He is good but not great. But the main ingredient for any spinner is accuracy. Ashwin sometimes lacks it. Dont know if it is preparation or mental thing he just looses the plot. Edited November 30, 2018 by gattaca Link to comment

But the point he says right. You cannot copy your way to success. You have to work within your strength. I remember Ishant telling something like "copying" Zaheer. Yes accuracy is something he should work on. But i think he is talking about people who ask him to "bowl like Lyon". Link to comment
putrevus Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Ashwin is not the same since his hernia injury in 2016 before fifth test against England. The drift and loop which was so evident then is missing.He is not same bowler even in Asia since that injury.Jadeja has been better than him overall too since that injury. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/26421.html?class=1;spanmin1=15+Dec+2016;spanval1=span;template=results;type=bowling;view=series AuxiliA 1 Link to comment
Clarke Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The # of overs he's bowled in the warm up suggests he might be playing as the first choice spinner. vvvslaxman 1 Link to comment
