if you get lots of wkts in home conditions and in |SL/WI your overall average will look good. against Eng, SA, Aus - Ashwin's record is poor. at best a subcontinental bowler and cannot run thru a side. moin ali ran thru india in england

Batsman Vs Bowlers
by Manian on Oct 24, 2018 12:26 AM

In India it is very unfortunate that though matches are won by bowlers it is always a batsman tilted. Even today Kumble is talked about less though he is highest wicket taker for india and has won many games. The bowlers are like heroins in the movie whose performance goes unnoticed and it is only the heros who are worshipped. On Ashwin, he is a great and smart bowler and he is like a swan and he knows which comments to take and which to be ignored. He has created many records and will create many more and I am apprehensive whether he has the backing of his captain fully who tend to favour other spinners over him.

Most of the worst comments about Ashwin are given by Sanjay Manjarekar and Harbhajan. Both after the Oval test pinpointed Ashwin as the major difference for the Oval loss and 4-1 debacle. No one gave credit for his best performance in the series opener at Edgbaston. Ashwin would be a better test captain than Virat in abroad tours. But Alas, there is no one to back him up
