India beat West Indies by an innings and 92 runs in the 1st Test

Ashwin, when he gets it right, is as good as anyone in the world. Such an elegant bowler to watch..
 
Ashwin's a touch too full this over.

Get it right dude.

You are lethal when you do it.

Not upto the mark of your last 3-4 overs.
 
Ashwin will take apart these Caribbean hacks, and I can see him troubling the Aussies and English batters.

Hope mate, hope! I can already feel that Indian bowlers (especially pacers) feel more confidence and are given license to attack. Only if Kohli can continue to build on this!

Good over by Ash.

We need him to win this series by a big margin.

Just needs a wicket or two to get over the mental demons where people constantly say he is crap outside Asia. The way he bowled in innings 1.....that was some high class bowling with extreme flight.

even if he managed to take all XI wicket they'll say it's against lulloo Windies ;)

Breeze/Wind and revolutions on the ball. I also noticed that Ashwin does that really well with a relatively newer ball. Almost akin to swing of fast bowlers.. It's all rotational dynamics my friend ;-)

Yes, I remember him doing that at Vizag vs the Lankans. Almost like a swinging ball.

Staying up to watch Ash bowl:warne

Yes in the bits I have seen bowlers enjoy bowling under Kohli, Ashwin in paticular. Ashwin will cause England late middle order all sorts of problems.
 
Why the hell is Jason Holder the captain? He is not even good enough to be in the Test squad and neither is Carlos Brathwaite. Why are they playing ahead of genuine pacers like Kemar Roach, Miguel Cummins and Alzarri Joseph who are at least 15 kph quicker and could've seriously troubled the India batsmen? WI's Test batting is hopeless honestly. The FC averages of some of these batsmen are truly appalling. This Chandrika guy is opening the innings with a FC average of 25. Like seriously? The only way they can have a competitive batting line-up is by bringing back Gayle and Chanderpaul and giving the likes of Brathwaite, Bravo, Blackwood some more time to mature. Following the West Indies can be so frustrating at times.
 
Disgrace. last two test should be scrapped (point wise india can't earn much even if it 4-0). Play T20 instead where they can compete. enough is enough with this one side bashing last 14 years ;)
 
OK, time for the usual rants. If they're done for the day, we can continue with our annihilation.
 
I'm sure Shane Dowrich will be the future captain for West Indies. Looks a proper fighter to me. Very gritty attitude.
 
Mish and Ash are both spinning webs around the batsmen. These guys are too good for them..

History of Windies last few years. first it was Sammy who takes over WI when they are down badly and injects energy despite some massive losses. When he's done Holder takes the charge. Next may be him.
 
Wasn't out. Just as I had though. No wonder India don't want DRS. Chandrika wasn't out either. Long live BCCI.
 
Needs a fielder on the back legside for Ash.

Holder edged that.

Last over he edged inside and escaped.

Then he edged outside and escaped.

lol.

Lmao as if Chandrika with his lofty 25 fc average would've hit a triple century here:narine


P.S.: Btw why are you even watching the match dude, we are forced to watch it as we're Indian fans:yk
 
Kohli should bowl these 2 spinners together till they either take all wickets or drop dead.

Whichever comes first.

The speed at which the overs get finished is helping both.
 
Sandeep said:
Let's get Yadav in.. Holder will need to hear some chin music..

That may spoil and rhythm and speed at which these 2 are going through overs.

When they start looking jaded then let's bring pacers.

Almost another chance.

Every over there is an edge or chance or just missed. The tempo is perfect.
 
Ashwin is doing a lot with his wrists.

It moves a bit during delivery that I doubted his action this ball.

Pressed replay on Youtube and it was wrist and not elbow.
 
Brilliant ball.

Flight outside off, gets a shot, turns big, batsman misses it and it crashes into the stumps.
 
5 fer and a century. Who's the best allrounder in the world? Yes, it's Ash!
 
First time Ashwin has ran through a batting and got a 5fer in one spell.

Broadesque stuff.

I don't think he has ever done this before.

Even on rank turners.

All thanks to lulloos..

Part lulloos, part wind and some incredible classical spin bowling.

:P

I think he has worked on his bowling more.

What I saw in first innings was something Ashwin didn't do before. That's why I kept talking about it.

Let's see in other pitches.
 
KL Rahul got hurt very very bad at short leg. On the knee roll.. Bishoo, the batsman who hit him, is laughing!

Needs to get a handy Yorker to manhandle the tail.

I am possibly getting a bit too greedy

Carlos Brathwaite looks a decent batsman, but how long will he continue playing test matches? I feel he'd go the DreRuss way..

What does drift depend upon?
Click to expand...

You mentioned drift just now. How does one get the ball to drift, is it breeze-related alone?
It is, to some extent. How you call a mirage, drift is also a bit of a mirage. How it leaves your hand and what kind of arc it makes and what kind of parabola it makes is what you think is drift. For a batsman sometimes, you feel it has gone into you, it’s gone late. Most of the time, you are not looking at drift that happens from the hand but drift that happens towards you when it reaches the batsman. When drift happens from the hand, it is more of an angle, it is more of a curvature. What happens is the batsman is looking for it, he is playing for it, he is letting it come in like an inswinger. But when you load the ball differently and put enough revs on it, it starts drifting when it is about to dip. That is when a batsman is committed to a shot and that is something that is not dependent entirely on the breeze. It is dependent on how much revs you put on and how well you loaded and uncocked your wrist. On certain occasions in Indian grounds, it is going to be a bit challenging because all the grounds are almost cocked and fit, so you will not get any assistance from the breeze like there was in Sri Lanka in the first two games. But I think you can get a little bit of curve in terms of shape on the ball when you are bowling to the batsman with your wrist.

Is drift in some way a spinner’s equivalent of swing?
Not necessarily. It’s the amount of revs that you put on the ball that makes the ball behave differently. With the SG ball now, I don’t know. Definitely from the time I started playing first-class cricket and now, the quality of SG balls have differed so much, I don’t know how it is going to be this series (against South Africa). Sometimes, the box of balls that is thrown at you is not great, so it is very imperative for the spinner that the ball is very good. Sometimes in the past, I have overlooked the quality of balls and gone on bowling because I thought it doesn’t really matter. But it does, it does to a certain extent. When you are playing against quality batsmen, you will encounter Hashim Amla, Faf (du Plessis) and AB (de Villiers) in this particular series, it is very important you get all the stocks right.
