What the **** was that Ashwin?! Ashwin's response (post #87)

[Number]

That's obvious , he'll be dropped the day we find better spinner , not because if his running or batting but bowling.

[Manny_Pacquiao]

this oily rat ashwini needs to work on his fitness. he is so unfit, its not even funny. the guy needs to breath out of an oxygen mask whenever he takes a single. that is IF he takes a single, he usually isnt smart enuff to do that.

[ganeshran]

Ashwin made the NO call very early and also gestured to him. Rohit sharma kept on running, so he didnt have any other choice. But he is slow between the wickets and needs to improve on that

[Lord]

yeah it was Rohit's fault,he just didnt look at Ashwin

[Manny_Pacquiao]

this is the 2nd time in a row that he has caused a run out. anybody think that this oily rat is a match fixer? surely this cant be normal behavior. i know he is unfit, but you gotta attempt the single when you can. he doesnt even do that. the ICC should investigate this

ya ya ya, absolutely absolutely.

[Rajiv]

Did he tweet the reason yet?

[ganeshran]

RT @rameshsrivats: Ashwin will never ever get drunk. Why? Because he always stops at one.

Yeah score a 100, take 9 wickets and all but guide your team to a win when none of the seniors dared to turn up, and yet get pilloried... happens in India only. If he had got out on zero, and India lost, nobody would've been talking anything abt him.. if anything people'd be praising his first innings hundred and brave bowling performance. Anyone who saw that match, it's clear as daylight there wasn't a two in that last ball shot. No way unless it was Dhoni on amphetamines on skates. Credit to him for taking as so close.

[Ultimate_Game]

The guy gotta work on his running between the wkts. He can't throw his wkt away every time.

[Stuge]

Even during yesterdays match, he looked uncomfortable while running and eventually he got runout in the most pathetic way .He seriously needs to rectify his running between the wicket .

[vamos_rafa]

I feel that Ashwin is flat-footed. I may be wrong but the way he runs, he keeps his whole foot down, instead on running on his toes. I have found that Alistair cook , who also isn't the best of athletes, also runs the same way.

/\ On the contrary, I feel he is too self centered. He puts himself ahead of the team's interest. Remember how he was howling at the end of the test that " HE" thought he should save the test by not losing a wicket on the 2nd last ball and what happened on the last ball was a mistake (minor ?) . Even here, he refused to take a run because " HE " wanted to be on the centrestage, wanting to score the winning runs. Not bothering that his negligence could cost the team heavily. Pretty egoistic, I would say. ofcourse, with his polished english and diplomatic behaviour he hides this quite well and comes across as a nice guy. But mark my words, he is too egoistic !

Almost everyone including the team management agreed with his decision. He showed a maturity beyond his age but I dont see the ego here .

how could he score the winning runs when there was still so much runs still left? This does not make sense at all

[Number]

egoistic?yesterday he could've stayed in his crease n got Rohit out' date='instead he sacrficed himself.it was clearly Rohit's fault[/quote'] Yep, Even though he would've responded to Rohit's call. But he sacrificed his wicket for his team ,so how come he is putting himself above team ?

+1 Some of the posters here forget that he is a tail ender batsman(one of the best we have had). He surely needs to improve his running between the wickets, which I am sure he will do after the last 2 matches. He got into these situations because of the failure of our batsmen. To call him selfish and lack commitment is OTT.
