Just imagine how much better his record could have been without dropthiv!
biggest joke of the selection he was at that time. Never played a 3 day match in the domestic cricket let alone proper 4 or 5 day games. Costed us a series in Australia by poor keeping in Sydney.

Who should be our spinner in Aus, as we will only play 1 Only 1 spinner will be in test team in aus. Who should it be? Ashwin or Oijha? In bowling terms I slightly favour Oijha. But Ashwins batting takes him way ahead to me, so I go for Ashwin.

Ashwin. Australian pitches will bounce more rather than spin. Ojha's variations are more with regards to turn( big spinner followed by arm ball) . ashwin relies more on bounce. so definitely ashwin for the 1st test. maybe if he fails miserably or in sydney, we can play ojha either alongside or as a replacement for him.

All the things are working in favour of Ash here. He can extract more bounce due to his height on the bouncy pitches of Aus. The left handers ,as Saneindian mentioned, will also struggle against the offie. And add his batting skills to that.

if u are only considering spin ojha is better his variation are beating batsman in flight and mabe he wont get turn but he will still hold up u can count on him now but looking at the team ashwin will play he is much better batsman would be handy and its not lke he is bad he is almost as good as ojha and will get better

i don't think any team in the history of the game wud have gone into a perth test with 2 specialist spinners if they had fast bowlers or even medium pacers in their reserves.

has to be Ashwin' date='would be tempted to play both at SCG if pacers dont do well[/quote'] scg is a grassy track nowadays, not how it used to be before. nature of the pitch was changed intentionally in 2009.

I strongly feel India should go with two spinners , as both are automatic selection if we go with our best XI. But thats not going to happen, Ashwin edges out Ojha with his superior batting capability.
