is not even taken to australia coz southie crook srikant wants his boys in team... aussie always find leg spinner difficult to handle and mishra would have been a much better choice...
I remember the good old days when the discussions were about playing 3 or 4 spinners..even on Aussie soil! Now it has come to a sad stage where we are debating replacing one ordinary spinner with another.Frankly it does not matter which one plays..these chaps are not test class and can only do well in the 4 over game on wickets that suit them.
I have played a lot of gully cricket and based on it, I too can give team India a tip or two... This is Indian Cricket. A big mess and every empty vessel will make a noise here. I bet, no one in his wildest imagination even would have dreamed of India winning against Ausies 4-0 or even by a lesser margin. Why everyone is here naming a scapegoat for the losses thus far? more than Ashwin, Ishant needs to be replaced. not with a spinner though; but, a better pacer. If performance is the criteria, every member in the team needs to be replaced, including the captain.
He proved that he is a promising all rounder. He scored 60 when almost all batsmen were in ahurry to be back to the pavilion. He got his maiden 100 in the very first match. Do away with Tendulkar, a spent force or VVS LAkshman.

Hello !!! Ashwin is in the side to take wickets as his primary job and if fails he is a spet force for the teams, if he scores its a bonus but not mandatory ..got it
How many matches Ashwin got to play in tests and how many of them he failed? Be honest with your talking dont bring crooked attitude when you are talking! I prefer playing both in coming matches and you will have something to commend after that.

True my friend, but there is nothing wrong in playing Ojha for 2 tests. Ashwin did very well with the bat in the 1st 2 tests. Ojha may do well with the bball in the next 2 tests!! Trying another bowler does not mean dropping Ashwin
