Ashwin and Jaddu have been flops recently outside India. The demand for Mishra's head will begin as soon as he tours outside Asia. Mishra was pillaged in England in 2011' date=' I guess the fans have forgotten that by now. The grass is always greener on the other side - people always like players who are on the sidelines and think that including them can transform the team.[/quote'] In sub-continent at least, he looks like the best option for limited overs matches. Mishra has improved quite a bit since that England tour.

The big difference I see between Ashwin/Jadeja and Mishra is that Mishra is always looking at getting wickets, while Ashwin and Jadeja are looking at restricting the runs. They would be much better off trying to get wickets because they have the ability to do so.

Legspin is very difficult to play without exposure to the bowler, and Mishra is in top form at the moment.

You don't need all your bowlers to attack in a game. India has kept it tight at all stages of the first two games.
