R. Ashwin

[Hindustani]

Leading wicket-taker in a T20 tournament in South Africa (I think..) :hatsoff: What more proof of quality do you want? Or do people still want him perform in the FC level? :winky:

20/20 can never be a scale to judge quality of a spinner

[bharathh]

Perhaps not.. but he is showing that he is willing to flight the ball and attack the batsmen unlike the spinner we have in our team atm. I hope Ashwin gets a look in more often. It's a pity he didn't impress in Zimbabwe earlier this year.

^ he only got one game, and he did decently well too

There are definite positive signs emerging for Ashwin. The mere fact that Dhoni chose him over more established names like Murali, Bollinger to bowl the super-over shows that his faith in Ashwin is ever increasing. Again, in yesterday’s match, when the fate of the match and CSK’s future in the tournament was in the balance (Warriors needed 32 runs off 3 overs with 7 wickets in hand), once again, MSD turned to Aswhin. So its obvious that there’s no shortage confidence on the part of CSK captain MSD, who incidentally, happens to be captain if team India. :--D

Ashwin maybe mediocre and he may not do wonders if he play for India but then Bhajji and Mishra aint doing anything.Also Mishra is such a crap bowler who bowls no ball after no ball.

He showed the same faith in Ashwin in the 2nd half of IPL 3 but did not pick him in the playing 11 even when Ashwin was in the squad in an useless series.

Bhajji does one thing. Darting. One of the reason Ashwin might go for few sixes is because he is not afraid to toss the ball up. But if you look at pros and cons of his style of bowling pros far outweigh cons. He bowls mostly when the power play is on. So chances of getting hit is higher. But he gets you wickets.

[ravishingravi]

He bowls a better carrom ball than Mendis.

[yoda]

He can be the 5th bowler in ODIs as he can bat a bit too. Me thinks he is a better option than Jadeja for ODIs. I am not sure about his wicket taking abilities in tests though.

[Patriot_Nikhil]

Hopefully the upcoming BPX1 game will shed more light on his abilities in the Tests arena...

[Gunner_Mania]

^ BP11 game starts tomorrow. He isnt playing i n it.
