Why on earth Ashwin playing in IX?

[Gollum]

Yeah we should play Chahal aka Warne 2.0 on Thu. We can also fake some injuries to bring in GOATs/ATGs to the squad.

 

Maybe Kuldeep, pretty sure Moeen is doing Hajji twice this year because Kuldeep isn't in our squad for SF. 

 

Or maybe recall Varun Chakra, or Rahul Chahar with his comedy run up. Am I missing someone else? Sundar? Krunal?

 

Yes Bishnoi, someone who is yet to bowl a proper leg spin till date....as opposed to Shadab, Rashid, Zampa who mix it up 60:40. But yeah go ahead, pretty sure there is some mystery there and teams with their army of data analysts won't work him out. Absence of Bishnoi is the only reason why we aren't winning this WC, he is Warne 3.0 and someone who will automatically fix our weak tail problem. 

 

We have 150 Warnes, 200 Muralis, 300 Saqlains in the market...unfairly not picked because<fill in the blanks>

I feel compelled to opine on the topic here,

 

but before that

 

IX = Nine

XI = Eleven.

Gollum, I am disappointed... you are missing many. we should recall prasanna, chandra, bedi, and the overrated venkat immediately.

Ashwin and Axar will cost us a semi final. Ashwin anyways has a performance now vs Zimbabwe so given the quality he possess, he is not going to perform in semi final. At best take a wicket of Stokes and leak 35+ runs in 4 overs or 28 runs in 3 overs.

Apart from Santner/Dhananjaya (who is a batsman who bowls a few overs here and there) every finger spinner sucked balls.  Playing finger spinner is totally useless. Ashwin is there only because Chahal is a one-dimensional player. He can't contribute with bat or fielding. Atleast Bishnoi can field and bat a bit.

[Need4Speed]

Since Chahal cant bat we hv to play Ashwin..Jadeja’s injury has affected batting balance badly..

Axar is looking as good as tailenderbin this WC..

its such a shame we have number 7 as Axar or Ashwin..after unreliable DK at 6.

This was pretty much on the cards.

Glad to see he failed miserably in another wc. 2015/16/17/21 and now 22.

 

2 overs for 27 runs getting smacked all around by alex hales of all people who wasn't in contention for the english team just 3 months ago. Captain didn't have any confidence in him to give the 3rd over perhaps and this begs the question why was he selected???.

[vvvslaxman]

Not to be nitpicking it is XI not IX OP lol

First of all carrying finger spinners to Australia is criminal. This is wrist spinner land. T20 itself is wrist spinners game.  Especially carrying a 36 year old youtuber lol  Honestly this match was lost when we put up a below par 168

I said the same thing when team was selected and you said finger spinners did well in bigbash.

No. ONly guy who did was Ashton Agar. Nobody else. He is not just a finger spinner. He has other variations

[vayuu1]

Will Ashwin post a kutti Kam eeni h@₹@mzaadi bkl story on his YouTube channel how he shat in this tournament i bet not 

[Majestic]

Embarrassing stuff. When will you learn to always back a wicket taking spinner over a defensive economical bowler? Come the big game, one guy attacks and the economical bowler gets a reality check

Think the OP got it spot on. Axar and Rohit contributed nothing in this tournament, 8 if we include KL.

 

It's hard to beat a team like England playing with 8 players.
