Dont understand Ashwin at no.3 , What can be the thinking ?  

 

Why do RR have Parag ? Guy gets to do nothing.

He does his Bihu moves every match though.

Jos gone

Ashwin continuously reinventing himself.

Good riddance of buttler.

[Lone Wolf]

RR should target 160 from here.  RCB top order is cooked.

He did his job. But what is the thought process here?

 

A comment from cricinfo:

 

Bhawesh: "Very presumptuous of you Andrew to think Ashwin is here for a holding role. More like an aggressive but calculative hitter IMO, until butler is nicely set to go bonkers" Well yes, a holding role insofar as RR aren't committing an out-and-out batting resource at this stage. Holding their cards to their chest!

He can be average. He makes sure he is not totally useless lol. He clicks here and there.

My goodness Hazlewood is so so good.  This is the bowler Prasidh should try n copy.  Similar lengths but Hazlewood so accurate. 

[Stan AF]

Every team should just target buttler's wicket and rr will implode on its own.

Either target him or deny strike. In one match he played whole 20 overs played only 48 balls or so.

[Stan AF]

Hasaranga bowling pies already.

Ashwin did his job scoring 20 odd runs at 200 SR

 

he can’t do this down the order

[vvvslaxman]

Is it one of those Sanju match that he produces every season

Prasidh is hazlewood clone. Pakistan is dead. Can't wait to see them get mutilated. Jut wish we can Chuck kohli and rohit out as well.

Wait till Hazlewood or siraj bowls again. To him. He will cry.

[maniac]

Ashwin can be our Sunil Narine

 

@vvvslaxman do you endorse this message?

Hetmeyer is best middle order batter in IPl.  Mitchell is a quality hitter vs pace too.  Only Pan Parag is the weakness. 

[maniac]

I think batting Ashwin at 3 is a smart move. He can’t slog at the death but can find gaps in the power play. Won’t work every time but will work wonders when it comes off and he doesn’t waste too many balls so no harm done. This move is straight out of my cricket acumen. Well done Sanga. Always rated his acumen highly.

Mitchell follows the Rohit-Rahul template. Tuk tuk at the start but then can hit big.
