Ashwin is a good bowler   Happy to see Indian Bowlers are climbing the ranking ladder where those things are normal for us because most of Pakistani bowlers often rank between top ten in every month. Moreover we have the best bowling attack since we are known as bowling power house of all time.

You know in a deluded world, Pakistan is the #1 in the entire universe (including aliens who play a game kirkut)

Umesh Yadav who we regularly cuss out on ICF is a dozen spots ahead of Wahab "one spell a year" Riaz.  That says it all about the direction and future prospects of India and Pakistan pace bowling.
