India Tour of South Africa - 2018

[Vijay Krish]

Ashwin always reminds me of VVS Laxman. Classy off drives, Superbly timed leg side flicks. Gorgeous strokes with pure timing. Also tall, elegant and with a lazy touch too. Both bats well with the lower order batsmen. Ashwin used to be a opening batsmen for Tamil Nadu during his younger days. Still a real classy batsmen although his first art is spin!!!

 

[Endgame]

It's not out. Since the soft signal was not out, there's no evidence to revert that.

Now Ashwin proved his need in team as a all-rounder if u won't give chance to him then u'll be the loser unlike him though he won't knocked out like saha in batting like 1st test :kiss:

Bro, please don't compare Saha with Ash (totally irrelevant). You can compare Parthiv with him.

Bro its fair enough to compare Ashwin and Saha since they do multiple roles in the team. Batting is their 2nd preference. But Ashwin is miles ahead of Saha in terms of batting any given day.

Exactly. But they dont forget to display Rabada as the No 1 ranked bowler in ICC Rankings more often than not. Yes its a great achivement for a young fast bowler but BCCI doest do that when Ash or Jaddu were ranked No 1.
