SA had full set of lefties, how many wickets Ashwin took there again in all three tests. Stop turning Ashwin into Shane Warne.

Idiot had even given an interview prior to the tour claiming he had taken his wicket taking to the next level. :facepalm:

Different pitch/different ball/different conditions.  You are talking about a series where 103 wickets out of 106 fell to seamers. Jansen averaged like 10 or something.

So, he had three 4th innings scored to defend and he did not do anything. If could nick one or two lefties  the series would have turned on its head.

 

Ashwin is better than Jadeja but in this team he would not fit.

WHy do you think Umesh/Thakur fit better? What is their record here?

Virat Kohli dei, take notes from these two lefties on how to play Moeen Ali.

 

Virat Kohli made Moeen's career lol Even on flat road at chennai completely  missed the ball.

What did our seamers do in helpful condition for fast bowlers/ Or what did they do in WTC final or 5th test. Did we drop them?

England calling Moeen back is equivalent of Thala bringing in RP Singh from Miami beaches 

 

Stokes always like to load the side with batsmen who can bowl or bowlers who can bat.

I love Ashwin , he is the best cricketer India has produced, it is not his fault that he has been kept out of the team.

 

But this Indian team is so one dimensional once they leave Asian conditions.It is so hard to fit Ashwin into the team.

 

MMQB is very easy after the fact, but let us be realistic about what Ashwin can do and cannot do.

It is even more bizarre an Austarlia is struggling against bounce. I know Steve waugh had this weakness all his life. But he took mostly on the body.

Wouldn't say he is weak. He is just not comfortable against bouncer. He struggles vs chest balls directed at him. Away from him and he has no issues dispatching it. 

Most batters have that weakness to be fair. Usman himself is not good vs bounce directed against his head/chest area

 

And he is out.
