SK_IH Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Happy to be proven wrong if he stands out in the series.Its been a great start but still a long way to go.Ideally he should be aided and abetted by another spinner,but that's a different debate. One discernible element in the bowling yesterday was sticking to the basics and bowling classical off spinners punctuated with traditional arm balls that swing more than Bhuvi could have swung it.I hope more of this continues,it was lovely watching him bowl as a spectator. beetle and Gollum 1 1 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Which perception?The time he mostly failed overseas was playing under Dhoni,who was mostly seen defensive.Ashwin being an attacking bowler consequently failed but no spinner in the history of the game has been successfull on tracks supposed to be supporting fast bowlers, other than Sir Shane Warne,even Muralidharan failed to have any impact outside his comfort zone..Ashwin is a lion in SC conditions who can devour opponents and emerge victorious on his own,no one needed that's the respect he commands but still needs to win some matches on his own outside India (SENA countries) beetle 1 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Sangakkara was in all praises for Ashwin. Sanga's is Ashwin's well known bunny. While watching highlights Holding was beginning to talk about Kohli's selection fo Ashwin. Then they cut the discussion off. What were they discussing? Link to comment

speedheat Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I have slowly started to realized that ashwin is our greatest ever test cricketer some 'unknown-Genius' work by ashwin yesterday.. Switchblade 1 Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I thought he bowled decently in SA also so seems to be improving. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Ashwin did bowl very well. BUT Matter of fact is Kuldeep should have been picked over ashwin as well. He has been doing good and he would have bowled even better, imo. He's a leg spinner and that is even more lethal. One could even argue for picking 2 spinners in hindsight but that is all over now. And LOI's ashwin was dropped correctly so because he wasn't taking wickets, neither putting pressure. Cost us the champions trophy final and also the World T20 semis. Some people have short term memory and are blasting chahal/kuldeep while everyone here knows those two spinners were the main reason for India to win a ODI series in South Africa for the first time in 25 years. Get your facts straight dude. Edited August 2, 2018 by Stan AF Link to comment
Stan AF Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 And lest not forget the fact that English batting is still revolving around Joe Root mainly. Their middle order is brittle. Their batting does not have big time scorers like Bell/pietersen/Strauss from the previous teams. And cook has been mediocre for years now. This bowling performance is expected from Ashwin being a #1 bowler and all. SK_IH 1 Link to comment
