are tigers on their home pitches, but lambs on foreign pitches that don't help them much !
While Ashwin has an average of less than 21 runs per wicket at home (which is much better than that of any other Indian bowler who has played more than 20 tests), he went for nearly 55 runs per wicket in the 4 tests he played in Australia and failed to take any wicket while giving away 108 runs in the single test he played in South Africa !
Like Anderson, Ashwin too is very much a Home Tiger, not really having the qualities that would make him really great !

out of topic.. the topic is about Anderson's comment on Kohli... from where did Ashwi come.. some tangetial arguement like UPA...
This guy take wickets only on English green tips. Let him look at the record of some of the past great like Roberts, Holding, Marshalland even his own team late Stuart Broad and shut his motor mouth. He is only as good a bowler as the pitch is. He does not have the pace to trouble the batsmen.
