CSK Fan Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 How about the series in Australia? No Indian spinner has done good in Aus. Not Kumble, not Bhajji in his prime. He still did ok
cowboysfan Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 he has already bowled 42 overs,the same thing happened against England where he was completely ineffective in the other matches.
nevada Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 No Indian spinner has done good in Aus. Not Kumble' date=' not Bhajji in his prime. He still did ok[/quote'] So a poor series in Aus doesn't count as one and therefore the the England series is the only one where he didn't do well?
Clarke Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 No Indian spinner has done good in Aus. Not Kumble' date=' not Bhajji in his prime. He still did ok[/quote'] Kumble has a pretty reasonable record considering he faced an ATG team on their turf which doesn't offer assistance to spinners. The avg might not be exceptional but 49 wickets in 10 tests is very acceptable. Unfair to criticize Ashwin on the basis of that tour though, his performance against Eng were much worse.
CSK Fan Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 So a poor series in Aus doesn't count as one and therefore the the England series is the only one where he didn't do well? It was not a poor series for a spin bowler, it was a decent one
rkt.india Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 So a poor series in Aus doesn't count as one and therefore the the England series is the only one where he didn't do well? Do you expect spinners to take 5-fers and win matches for you in places likes Australia?
helperononline Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 should we go for jaddu or ojha if ashwin fails to pick wickets here ? or should we continue with him for his batting ?
ThePhenomenal1 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 rather have 4 pacers, seeing how ishant and zak wagged the tail a bit
King Tendulkar Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Big day for ashwin tommorow Could be hero or zero
ThePhenomenal1 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Big day for ashwin tommorow Could be hero or zero Should have the pacers bowling the majority but with ashwin giving some a rest so that we dont have a day 2 repeat where bowlers were tired out
vvvslaxman Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 People will criticize when someone is not doing well because they care about the team. Ashwin averaged 50+ with the ball in helpful conditions against England and India lost the series against them after 28 years. Some anger is justified. Are you suggesting Ashwin was the reason why we lost the series to England.. not the washed up oldies who were making Panesar look like Derek underwood on a wet wicket? Soon after the series New zealanders put Panesar in his place.
Cricketics Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 ROFL. Ashwin seems to be an innocent dude who's honeymoon period might have ended as India will be playing pretty much everything overseas. I hope he does well, but I am sure he will continue to get slack from people :) I hope he doesn't come up with comments like "Even Torres was left out.":rofl: again like he did before, if he's dropped in the next match.
panther Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Should play as a batsman, who is an above average spinner surely will have a better test record than hafeez.
Muloghonto Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Correct me if i am wrong but Kumble's monster haul in 2003-04 series in Australia was the single most successful series for a visiting spinner in Australia since...WWII ? I dont believe any offspinner has been the wrecker-in-chief in Australia.
Ghost Buster Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Today is the day for ashwin, there is some turn for spinners now and if he cant get atleast 2 wkts in this innings we are not going to win this match . Then He will be considered only a spintrack bully forever. Even duminy got wkt of kohli here.
MCcricket Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 A good leg spinner is worth his weight in gold as they are alike to a fast bowler who has real pace and is not dependent on conditions to get wickets, modern day captains are not willing to pick up leg spinners as they feel an offie can keep it more tight and can be used as a defensive option, Rahul Sharma should be persisted with a bit more, I hear Malolan has some promise too, even Chawla is a talented , versatile cricketer, can bat pretty well and has developed a good fast one and with a bit of push and support could be the leg spinner for us.
rkt.india Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Ashwin has issues with his action. He cannot best batsmen with variation of pace neither spins big. He needs more pivot.
MCcricket Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Ashwin has issues with his action. He cannot best batsmen with variation of pace neither spins big. He needs more pivot. I agree he has this jump where he delays his action but then he doesn't pivot and as he is tall he seems to get more bounce, but with more pivot he will get more pace and spin of the track.
Muloghonto Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 I agree he has this jump where he delays his action but then he doesn't pivot and as he is tall he seems to get more bounce' date=' but with more pivot he will get [b']more pace and spin of the track. Unless you are Venkatapathy Raju, i've never ever heard of a spinner 'requiring more pace' to their deliveries.
MCcricket Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Unless you are Venkatapathy Raju' date=' i've never ever heard of a spinner 'requiring more pace' to their deliveries.[/quote'] Pace of the track means u put more shoulder into the delivery, get more turn, bounce and in some case drift and dip lol
