No its Ashwin. Poor decision.
No, it wasn't.
Well it was clean ball striking don’t need to be so bitter had all of England’s player done the same thing atleast they would have gotten much closer to the total
The only one bitter over here is you over India thrashing England and Ashwin not hugging brother Moeen.
Who is Moeen Ali? Why should anyone hug him? Is he a teddy bear![]()
Was this to cater to Ashwin's home crowd?Yeah agree. I mean it's hard not to give it to him but sometimes better sense should prevail. Like when Sachin chased a record total vs England with a century, they gave Sehwag MoM for his battering 80 odd.
Very bitter especially considering we thrashed England and by 300 + runs no less. Especially when a mediocre cricketer plays a few fluke shots while losing.![]()
It’s called sportsmanship why would I be bitter lol I couldn’t care less india played way better won the toss and won the game it’s 1-1 anyways good luck in the next one.
Was this to cater to Ashwin's home crowd?
From bringing up some IPL heroics of brother Moeen (that I had to google) who's been a waste investment for my city team RCB otherwise, to crying because Ashwin didn't hug him and only shook his hand.
You've lost it.
)
Here's some advice - don't get too excited when India lose next time. It will end in heartache![]()
Or maybe its just because they both play at RCB perhaps.
Yeah probably. Think they didn't have the guts to disappoint the crowd that had turned up post-Covid.
Well he is a mediocre cricketer despite having scored a hundred in India and being picked by the best player in the world in his T20 team as well.
Ashwin continues to dominate in India , he is a monster on Indian pitches , possibly he will end as biggest spinner in India all time , ahead of Kumble , Harbhajan , Prassana , Bedi , Chandrasekhar etc
Played India, Rohit and Ashwin particularly.
Now on to the pink ball test, and the side may be -
Crawley
Sibley
Bairstow
Root
Stokes
Pope
Foakes
Woakes
Leach
Broad
Anderson
Oh please kohli this is why you are so fake as a person man said Toss wouldn’t have mattered what a ridiculous and pathetic statement he would have been saying the opposite if India had lost the toss. He on many occasions has blamed the toss on his losses and now he’s saying it wouldn’t have mattered just cause his team won

Lol how does a 160 in one innings trump ashwins 8 wickets and 106?

Damn bro that looks like a day well spent nice stuff you’re South Indian ?
Agreed. Well played India. Smashed us.
Your pink ball team for me is almost spot on, but there is no extreme pace in the lineup. Therefore is arguable that Wood would come in for either Woakes or Broad.
EDIT: Wood to be selected instead of Broad. Woakes offers a fair amount with the bat as well as the ball.
This. As good as Ashwin was in this test, Rohit was the one who made us favorites to win this test on first day itself. English could never recover from his onslaught for next 3 days.Cos he tilted the game in indias favor big time.
They made a wrong call.
So you too reckon Wood is better than Archer who is more made for shorter formats?Yeah, I forgot that Woody is back. With him Root will get pace all match instead of ten fast overs out of Archer then 80 mph stuff.
But thats where Lyon is born and brought up. If he can't take wickets at his home, where else he'll?
Btw, would you discount the wickets taken by Cummins and Hazlewood in Australia just because they've come on pitches which are conducive for fast bowling?

You still didn't answer my question! Let me put it again,Not saying it isn't easier for him to pick wickets in Aus compared to overseas spinners.
But that can't overcome the difference in pitch assistance.
To put it in perspective, imagine we roll out tough turners and our top batters average 30 or 35....while Aussie bats average 60 in their pattas...
Would that be a fair comparison?
Lyon would have far far better records had he been born in India.
Same with Swann.
You still didn't answer my question! Let me put it again,
Would you discount the wickets taken by Cummins and Hazlewood in Australia just because they've come on pitches which are conducive for fast bowling?
No. Even with his score we only got 329.Pant and Rahane also did their part
Its Ashwin who drove home the big lead and then ensured we didnt collapse in 2nd innings to give a sniff to England
Also how could you say with certainty that Lyon would have been far more successful has he been an Indian?
There are so many good spinners in our domestic ranks who don't even get a chance to represent us in international arena. Had Lyon been an Indian, he would have had to compete with those spinners in order to play at international level for us which isn't a certainty by any means!

OMG looks awesome. A day well spent.
If only they offered some beer in Indian stadiums it would be a Day Greatly Spent ��
If England are the best side in the world, they need to show they can handle these conditions. Sub continent sides get judged badly for failing to deal with English, New Zealand, South African, Australian conditions, the same standards should apply to the likes of England, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa when they tour India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, UAE
I get your point but I have now started feeling that Lyon is quite overrated on this forum especially after he couldn't get his team over the line on 2 consecutive occasions during our series in Sydney & Brisbane with everything going for him.You are missing the point bhai.
Ok to answer your question:
I wouldn't discount their wickets taken by them in Aus.
But I would want them to perform in Asia to be regarded as ATG.
And I won't compare them directly to Asian pacers in terms of wickets taken per match stats.
Pacers have a UNIQUE advantage over spinners in one regard.
They can post good numbers in almost any conditions if they are good enough.
Spinners can't.
Put Ashwin with pak pacers and send him to Aus and you will see his average balooning up.
But put Bumrah in there and his number won't get affected as much as Ashwin's would.
There is a reason why only 2 spinners average 25 or less...while a gazzilion pacers do.
Yeah, I feel the same.I think Wood has more ticker. Archer is a ODI bowler who cannot seem to sustain pace over a test. He really should be consistently fast with that easy action.
Same thing could've happened with Lyon too, had he been born in India, no? You can't be certainly sure that there won't be anyone better than Lyon in Indian ranks, fighting for spinner's place in India XI.Thats besides the main point.
The main point being, bowling in Aus on those pitches is so much harder than bowling in India.
Same way, had Ashwin born in Aus, he would have been dropped before he developed and wouldn't have had a career.
We are assuming they would overcome their developmental challenges and comparing.
