vvvslaxman Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 He doesn't go after the ball. he waits for the ball almost all the time. He has some flaws. But he relies mostly on timing rather than brutish power like our "T20 specialists" "Wanna be T20 specialists". velu and Straight Drive 2 Link to comment
Clarke Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Averages 62 from the game, the team total's average being ~119. Doob maro specialist batsmen and phaassht bowlers. raki05 1 Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 No doubt he is one of the core of this test eleven irrespective of conditions. If not with the ball, he performs with the bat. Pandya too seems to have that talent to be a main component in the long run. zen, RAZPOR and Gollum 3 Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 His main job is to get wickets. He got 0, batting is mostly inconsequential if top order fails collectively. Link to comment

You want to compare him to Rashid now? Ashwin is rated higher and India is more dependent on Ashwin than England is on Rashid. Link to comment

But how do you think an offie can do well with duke in damp conditions Role of spinners was at best support role. Both spinners were ineffective there. RAZPOR and raki05 2 Link to comment
zen Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Would have liked something in the wickets column .... Unlike what many believe - Ashwin, Bhuvi, and Jadeja are not played as All-rounders but primarily as bowlers Link to comment

He has played his role as an all rounder to perfection. He can't be blamed for the performance of other pedestrians in the team. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 It was a wicket and condition designed for clouderson as we saw. Seamers should have done a better job. Having said that i am not even hard on them because their bowling style absolutely doesn't suit to exploit these conditions. You have to be a line and length swing bowlers to introduce doubts in the minds of batsmen. Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 To be frank this is one match where I do not blame at all the team for loosing because of the playing conditions which were tailor a made for a home country. And that is where the loss in the first test become even more vital.A great team like 2000 Aussies would never have allowed to slip that match from 87-7 in the 2nd inns. Out batters instead collectively lost the match. Link to comment

Out batters instead collectively lost the match. the biggest problem was India got the worst batting conditions in both innings and England batted on the day when sun was out and we also played one less pacer that hurt us big time. Bairstaw-Woakes flourished because we lacked 4th seamer and also Ishant went missing. Shami had a good day, Pandya was also okay. Spinners were anyway not going make much impact but if one your three seamers went missing, you have nowhere to hide in flattish conditions that we got to bowl. Switchblade 1 Link to comment
RAZPOR Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 If we had 6 Ashwins batting we actually might have made a decent total. Switchblade 1 Link to comment
