Never seen him skip a home test due to "sports hernia" ! he played in eng n aus series at home with hernia which made it worse n then we only travelled overseas. When he only played overseas that time how can he get injured at home Edited October 5, 2019 by Ankit_sharma03

He would never skip a home test for injuries! no ur saying he did interntionally when the real point was he got injured when we only were travelling overseas. N why wud ashwin fake injury he bowled well in 2nd test in Sa, 1st test in aus, 1st in eng..... He didnt fake any injury in his 1st cycle....only bhajji has faked injury in 2011 tour. Ashwin not that kind of player Kuch bhi matalb
raki05 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 43 minutes ago, shychipmunk said: Ashwin is bowling on more helpful pitches against lesser batsmen whereas Bhajji bowled against champion batsmen on sporting pitches, also stats favour Ashwin as he bowls mostly at home and conveniently skips away tests feigning injury. Harbhajan has played each and every away test which has affected his stats. Bhajji faked injury during eng test in 2011 after humiliation , besides his action was always suspect, and he was an absolute darter in later point of his career. New guy 1
New guy Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) 25 minutes ago, shychipmunk said: I would prefer he takes 3 wickets in 15 overs instead of 5 wickets in 40 overs. In the former situation, other bowlers can finish off the innings quicker and we are not worried about opposition drawing the match. Ashwin took 3 wickets in 15 overs way, way way more times than Bhajji ever did. Kuch bhi You are one weird guy, you made a false claim of 5 wickets in 40 overs which was debunked. and somehow you keep repeating the same lie in every post. Will that make it true? Bhajji took 5 wickets in 40+ overs more rimes than ashwin. Ashwin strikes way faster and is less overs and runs than bhajji Edited October 5, 2019 by New guy raki05 1

Nothing against hailing SENA stars but 'Lyon is far far better than our guy' is the kind of talk that will find takers only in green ghetto. Lahori logic ain't our forte.... Yes Lyon is overrated, of all the tests he's played against India he's had a winning role in just one - Adelaide 2014, at home when Brat went chasing an improbably target & then choked Having said that, Ashwin is only marginally ahead of him & as far as I'm concerned post 2012/13 Jad is the best off spinner in the world Now I don't want to curse or "jinx" him but hope he just gets batter & better for India's sake, Ashwin has 2 or 3 seasons left in him at most, fitness permitting.

Had he bowled better, we could have won the Centurion Test vs SA and that series, pitch had good purchase for spinners. Then in England and Aus, he turned up half fit. Why should he continue to be the lead spinner at home if he keeps failing away from home. Because if he is the best spinner st home, he gets to play at home. Simple. If he is crap overseas, don’t pick him overseas. Bottom line is, you cannot drop a guy at home when he is a spinner and averages 22 at home with over 200 wickets.
Nikhil_cric Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 It's jadejas form I'm more worried about. Getting hit easily these days. No zip in his bowling.
