Ashwin to emulate spin king Warne

[rkt.india]

Off-spinner confident of success in Australia India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin routed Australia last year and is unfazed by the challenge of being asked to do it again on less-friendly pitches. Ashwin was a crucial part of Australia's 4-0 Test series loss in India, claiming 29 wickets at an average of 20.10. The 28-year-old sat out India's final tour game, but is expected to be part of their attack when the rescheduled first Test starts in Adelaide on Tuesday. Adelaide Oval's drop-in pitch is expected to offer limited turn, and Ashwin can expect more of the same in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. Quick Single: Kholi leads new Indian generation Ashwin knows as much, having toured Australia in 2011-12, but is not alarmed. "I don't buy into the notion that you have to go to a place two (or) three times before you can succeed there," Ashwin told the Board of Control for Cricket in India's website. "Even if you put me on a new planet, I am firmly going to believe that I can pick wickets. "That mindset is in my DNA and it will not change. "If you are faced with certain conditions, respect them and just land the ball where the conditions demand." Ashwin admitted a Test triumph in Australia would "be the biggest landmark of our careers", but added that the visitors were not short of belief. "I don't know what people think about this team, but I do know that we can do this," he said. Discussing his own bowling, Ashwin suggested he was always tweaking his action and predicted his best years will start now. Ashwin also expressed a desire to emulate Shane Warne's approach to cricket. "He is the kind of cricketer I would love to be. ... the one who fiercely competes," he said. "The one who gets head on with what he believes and doesn't worry about the consequences. "If you say that Shane Warne is not an over-thinking cricketer, then nobody else is either."

Thought this was a faking news article :P

[Lord]

He may not be good bowler overseas but'll be a good commie :nice:

I agree with Ashwin. Let us put him on a new planet and let him take wickets there.

There is nothing wrong with the quotes the problem is with the headline

[yoda]

Absolutely nothing wrong in trying to emulate the best and learn from their approach to the game.

The key point is that during all the times his arm did not straighten beyond 15 degrees. :winky:

^ I don't know which game you watch but in cricket the umpires on the field make the calls and that's the final decision. You can post hazaar Facebook photos, Matlab video analyzes but EOD Ajmal is called, Ashwin is not. I also see how you conveniently picked up the game where Ashwin EMULATED Sunil Narine. Shows your intellectual honesty and cricketing knowledge.

This guy really talks like an awkward IITian who thinks he's got more swag than his fellow IITians.

[beetle]

The big mouth speaks about himself again.

[express bowling]

Unless Ashwin puts more revs on the ball , he will never succeed outside the subcontinent .... nomatter whose attitude he emulates.

[Pagalpanti]

Ashwin trolled you guys pretty good!! :hysterical: That there is what got your Ajmal banned :giggle:

Ashwin trolled you guys pretty good!! :hysterical: That there is what got your Ajmal banned :giggle:

Step 1: wear a full sleeve shirt, copy Naraine's action, blatantly chuck. Step 2: In the post match interview, tell the whole world that he just chucked and got away with it Step 3: Other pundits agree Step 4: ICC wakes up Step 5: Ajmal,Naraine banned Ashwin is a genius!!

[vvvslaxman]

He is doing 1% imitation of Ajmal here which was enough to put him away :winky:

"He is the kind of cricketer I would love to be. ... the one who fiercely competes, The one who gets head on with what he believes and doesn't worry about the consequences.If you say that Shane Warne is not an over-thinking cricketer, then nobody else is either."
