rkt.india Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) his batting has regressed badly. Lyon is doing better than him even with the bat now. Edited December 11, 2018 by rkt.india Switchblade and SK_IH 1 1 Link to comment

He really needs to put in some extra time and work on his fitness. Its hard to combat a chronic injury, you have to work twice as hard as a regular guy, just to ward off that problem from flaring up again. And bowling is so much hard work. If he manages to put together a full year or 2 without any injury interruptions, you could easily see him get back to taking 5-fers for fun. he once again was trying to be too funky, instead of just being simple in execution. For a bowler who has that many wickets, he looks too innocuous during 4th innings, irrespective of pitch. You can see right from that harmless performances in Joburg in 2013 to yesterday's effort. I am not sure even Jaddu can do that also, thats why I think Ind should move on to Kuldeep for overseas matches pretty soon. Link to comment

Cricketics Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Kuldeep and Jadeja have been robbed. Link to comment

nevada Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 It is one thing to be unlucky despite bowling well but bowling innocuous deliveries on the same that opponents like Lyon and even part timer Moeen's deliveries look most threatening is inexcusable. Ashwin needs to learn to simply execute what works best on a given pitch. Based on current evidence, it looks like he will never learn. Link to comment

Ashwin surely have better skills as a batsman than a tailender like Lyon Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 He has been on a decline. Has got better control now but not the same threat he was earlier. Gradually he will be replaced with Kuldeep. I wonder how he passes the yo-yo test. Link to comment
