can Ravi Ashwin aspire to be a Ravi Shastri?

[fineleg]

Shastri started bowler but became a top order batsman-spinner (like Moen Ali), he became second/third spinner (behind main ones like Maninder Singh or Shivlal Yadav). Can Ravi Ashwin transform into allrounder like Ravi Shastri? (and Shastri captained India too) Battingwise was Shastri >>> Ashwin currently?

he can also start off as being a good commentator before being really ****.

[sensible-indian]

I dunno. I haven't seen Shastri live. India though needs Ashwin bowling more than his batting.

[Stuge]

no

[Lord]

Its gonna go down to the wire

You mean just people used chant "Ravi Shastri hai hai" , now they will chant " Ravi Ashwin hai hai"

[coffee_rules]

Can he use phrases like 'tracer bullet' or "bat first, bat big" like Ravi Shastri? If so, then yes.

Yes, if Ashwin can be a cool customer, give it the full monty and tighten the screws when bowling, I think he can. When he gives it the kitchen sink, the ball flies like a tracer bullet. After all, another Shastri in the form of Ashwin is just what the doctor ordered for Indian cricket. But all 3 results are possible at this stage and the first hour will be crucial.

That's exactly what the doctor ordered for.

[game_changerr]

icfers giving shastry a taste of his own medicine

[sensible-indian]

Many posters here flashed and flashed HARD and the ball has raced down to the fence like a tracer bullet. All of them are no mug with the bat.
