Dhoni used me as a weapon: Ashwin

[vvvslaxman]

Ashwin corrects his mistakes once being punished by the batsmen... and the next ball he sungu oothifine [takes them off] i think people like gayle, symonds has experienced it.

Watson wicket as classic. He slowed up the pace to an extent that ball hit the stumps only after Watson completed his stroke.

He contributed to the victory in both the games he played' date=' one of them a knockout QF against 3 time champions AUS, got a WC medal and is part of the World cup winning squad all having played just < 10 ODIs before the WC. I'd say he is lucky, and nothing to feel disappointed.[/quote'] There was one player in the wc wining squad of 1983 who never played for india before, during or after the WC. how lucky was he? While tendi the greatest of all waited for 21 yrs!

He would have been useful in Mohali, but Mumbai pitch was belter. Going with SS was not that bad.

One indirect effect every commie noted was Bhajji's line and length changed a bit since the introduction of Ashwin. HE started flighting a more. He mixed better. Still he continued his leg side darts. But definitely some improvement is there. Now that the world cup is over. Bhajji has to go back to his wicket taking ways with attacking line.

The thing I like about Ashwin is his doosra actually spins like a leg-break (unlike Bhajji's)!! I'm definitely looking forward to Ashwin replacing Bhajji in LOIs...would offer much more to the team esp in powerplays. I feel its only a matter of time.
