I6MTW Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Ashiwn is a technical batsmen. He can bat as well as bowl. But he can not play spin well. But he can destroy fast bowlers well because of his height and technique. He will be handy against SA with the likes of steyn, morkel, and philander.
CSK Fan Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Srini mama arranged for the phix so his gay son can bet on it and give the money as a retention bonus to jaddu in exchange for sexual favors from Dhoni. +1 makes sense
King Tendulkar Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Srini mama arranged for the phix so his gay son can bet on it and give the money as a retention bonus to jaddu in exchange for sexual favors from Dhoni.:haha:
CSK Fan Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 One of my friends mentioned this. Since Ashwin himself is a mystery spinner and has grown up quite a few mystery spinners in his chennai early days perhaps Dhoni and Fleming thought he can read and survive Narine and Senanayake better than most That's like saying Steyn will be the best player of fast bowling because he knows all the tricks of the trade. Warne and Murali, 2 all time greatest spinners sucked against spin bowling
GautiMaan Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 'Ashwin's role was to get us a quick start' - Hussey http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2013/content/story/631349.html

Crookbond Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 "I think Ashwin's role was to try and get us off to a quick start, look to take advantage of the first six overs and he had a licence to tee off. He hit a couple of good boundaries but, as it can happen in T20 cricket, you can get out anytime," Hussey told the IPL site. "I think there was pressure all the way through, because it was a difficult surface to bat on. It was almost a case of if you play properly, try and work the ones and twos, it can be very difficult to score; but if you try and tee off it might just work." http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2013/content/story/631349.html
Sidhoni Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Dhoni was trying to win the "Nayi Soch" award. but they gave it to Ash in the end! As if Ash himself came out to open! By that logic, Yagnik should have received the Nayi Soch Award instead of Dravid in that RR-MI game
Sidhoni Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 but Ashwin is not a pinch hitter. if they wanted a pinch hitter Morris and Morkel were better options. True. I also thought that it should have been one of Bravo/Morkel/Morris if they wanted quick runs.
rkt.india Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Pinch hitter who can read spinners Ashwin is not great against spinners.
Crookbond Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 but they gave it to Ash in the end! As if Ash himself came out to open! By that logic' date=' Yagnik should have received the Nayi Soch Award instead of Dravid in that RR-MI game[/quote'] Why so serious? :dontknow:
SLICKR392 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 but they gave it to Ash in the end! As if Ash himself came out to open! By that logic' date=' Yagnik should have received the Nayi Soch Award instead of Dravid in that RR-MI game[/quote'] It was RD's decision to sit out and promote Yagnik. He did what he was told to do.
Sidhoni Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Why so serious? :dontknow: Yeah its just a crap award and all but still they should use some sort of logic! It was RD's decision to sit out and promote Yagnik. He did what he was told to do. Same here - Dhoni promoted Ashwin to open the innings. Ashwin did what he was told to do.
CSK Fan Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Yeah its just a crap award and all but still they should use some sort of logic! Same here - Dhoni promoted Ashwin to open the innings. Ashwin did what he was told to do. You never complained when Dhoni got all those undeserving MOMs?
Number Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 You never complained when Dhoni got all those undeserving MOMs? Those are to boost his confidence, at least some logic. :giggle:
SLICKR392 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Same here - Dhoni promoted Ashwin to open the innings. Ashwin did what he was told to do. But the difference is Yagnik did the damage, Ashwin did not.
BeautifulGame Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 But the difference is Yagnik did the damage' date=' Ashwin did not.[/quote'] He did play out Senenayake a real danger (apart from Narine ) though and didnt waste deliveries either.So he did a decent job imo
Sidhoni Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 You never complained when Dhoni got all those undeserving MOMs? All those? I can barely remember one which was debatable.
