Trundler27 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 This guy deserves a decent run in the test side now.... he is a very good off spinner of the left arm variety. His confidence and discipline can be gauged from how he dismissed sammy in the first innings. After getting hit for a 6, he flights the next ball and gets him out. His arm ball is as good as vettori's arm ball and that in itself would get him many wickets in test cricket. Link to comment
SachDan Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 bump Ashwin continues to hog limelight but how can we continue to ignore Ojha who has 20 wickets for the series? Link to comment
yoda Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 ^^One thing about Ojha is that he does a disappearing act some times, ex the first innings here. Link to comment
Lord Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 ^ not really he has always been decent was dropped surprisingly for Mishra Link to comment
J P K Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 best spinner of India ATM Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 ^^One thing about Ojha is that he does a disappearing act some times' date=' ex the first innings here.[/quote'] He has played most of innings on absolute flat tracks. I don't think anyone has been unlucky like him during initial period of his career. It's great that he kept on performing in FC cricket and looks second best spinner of India. Link to comment
Karan114 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 bump Ashwin continues to hog limelight but how can we continue to ignore Ojha who has 20 wickets for the series? Very good performance, he was unfairly left out of the Test side for nearly a year. Link to comment
yoda Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 ^ not really he has always been decent was dropped surprisingly for Mishra I agree, it is was pretty dumb to pick Mishra over him. Link to comment

phaedrus Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 have been wondering all throughout the tour, ojha has been curiously away from the spotlight when ashwin gets all the plaudits. his performance got us to the stage where we could press for a win. well done bro, well done Link to comment
saneindian Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 BUMP While Ashwin is rightfully hogging the limelight, Ojha is playing a wonderful role in these home wins. Updating my earlier list Number of wickets take by our spinners after 15 tests (only number of wickets, Ojha has 68@33) - Kumble - 83 Prasanna- 75 Bhajji - 63 Chandra - 62 Venkat- 51 Bedi - 52 Other leading spinners after 15 tests- Swann- 67 Saqlain- 58 Warne - 54 Murali- 55 Ashwin could very well leap ahead of all others in the list by the time he has played 15 tests.

Ajmal had 74 after 15 tests. Link to comment
carnish Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Ajmal had 74 after 15 tests. But Ajmal would have played most of his tests against bangladesh or zimbabwe till then ... so it was easy peasy for him ... Ojha >>> Ajmal Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 But Ajmal would have played most of his tests against bangladesh or zimbabwe till then ... so it was easy peasy for him ... Ojha >>> Ajmal 1 against Zim and none against Bang. 7 outside Asia. Link to comment
