these kannnadians don't want ashwin to continue success. Ashwin is smart enough not to heed his words. his period is 1975. now 2017. Kumble and dravids are the culprit of not selecting D.Karthik who is a better keeper/batsmen than saha,patel since he scored runs in abroad. Jadeja is getting wicket because of ASHWIN NOT VICE VERSA. let this fellow train a kannnnadiyan uselessses. even bcci can consider three teams with three captains like sa/aus/eng and can perform better since all will have chance and rest.
prasanna was a great flighter...that does not mean ashwin should do the same...it is better prasanna personally sits with ashwin and help in the nets to assess the flighting....
But why Ashwin couldn't deliver in Chennai on the last day when it was needed most ? No explanation so far either from Ashwin or the experts writing columns in dailies. But how was it that Jadeja virtually ran through the side? Agreed that even if Ashwin had not managed wickets he bowled brilliantly with the flight-drift and even created few chances only to be unlucky not to get any wicket. Somehow the field placement too didn't look that good with edges and in deep going past fielders. Besides, he did create pressure too from one side for Jadeja to capitalize from the other end with roles getting reversed. Sill it becomes difficult to explain the match winner spinner bowler going witlessness that too on the 5th day !My explanation is on the flat and slow track (unlike the usual Chennai wicket) he lost patience when couple of chances couldn't be held and tried too many variations. He bowled flighted deliveries too but on the middle stumps more often trying for LBW as he used to do in his early days. It being a slow turner batsmen were getting lot of time to play him comfortably getting to the pitch ball and even otherwise the ball was not doing much to create problems for the batsman. I feel He should have tried two other things instead:1) stick to stock o-o line pitching creating an angle using the crease for catches in the deep more often.2)being a flat pitch he should have used Jadeja's technique of flatter trajectory instead of flight at times pushing it quicker throu

(contd.)..it quicker through the air making the batsman hurry his shots as Jadeja did. In overseas conditions he is going to be confronted with similar wickets but with one difference ---more bounce. The bounce will certainly help him but he is going to get only slow turn or no turn as he got in Chepauk this time around! Ashwin has to be ready with his strategy for such conditions.

Cricket is a sport, not a multiplication table, for it to come up with the same result every time...if you understand the difference, you would be raising such queries..
