Compare these players who call them as spinners with those of yore! Australians feared AS Prasanna as the best off-spinner, English struggled to play Bhagawat Chandrashekar, others feared Bedi & Venkat. Their quality was so good that Shivalkar was forced to sit out! Its a pity, we are forced to call Ashwin, Jadeja & Patel as spinners by default as there are none!

Stand corrected as EAS. But others never came into contention as well! E missed out due to key board probs!
When you have flat tracks which only assists batsman, how could you expect to nurture a spinner/fast bowler in our country. Spinners are afraid to toss it up as they might get smacked. Even the limited over formats is also playing the negative role.
Where..? were u referring to Ashwin with regard to 2nd Test. I have not seen him spinning the ball. He is taken as slow bowler, pl do not misunderstand..

You are correct! They are only slow bowlers who bowl flat! ompare these players who call them as spinners with those of yore! Australians feared AS Prasanna as the best off-spinner, English struggled to play Bhagawat Chandrashekar, others feared Bedi & Venkat. Their quality was so good that Shivalkar was forced to sit out!

It is the one and only Ashwin who is spoiling India's chances overseas. Karn was just given one chance. Axar can do well. Make sure Ashwin is not taken in any overseas tour
