Ashwin's streak and position

[Kirkut]

Happens very rarely though, in reality. He has very average new ball figures. He does get wickets later on though and is awesome at it.

He is the first Indian bowler who has a realistic chance to get to 300 test wickets at an average of 22.

Genuine Right arm fast figures! Not fast medium.

 

[ankitj]

Second fastest to 400 wickets!

WAFG!!!

Best spinner in the world, easily since Herath retired. And actually improved his SENA bowling. Well done.

Not even the best spinner playing in this game. Axar has bowled more overs and taken more wickets

But yea WAFG

Third best in this game behind Axar and Root imo

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah, but luckily I only said best overall, not in an individual game.

 

[honestbharani]

Washy with a better bowling average than Root on this track. WAFG!!

Should have been 1/0, mind you.

 

[ankitj]

Out of the 35 bowlers to have taken 300 or more wickets, 24 have an inferior strike rate than Ashwin and 16 of them are fast bowlers. No spinner has a better strike rate than he has. Muttiah Muralitharan comes the closest with a strike rate of 55.0.

Ashwin has taken 21,242 balls to take 400 wickets, which makes him the fourth-quickest bowler ever to the landmark. Only Dale Steyn, Richard Hadlee and Glenn McGrath have got to 400 wickets in fewer deliveries. Rangana Herath is the quickest spinner after Ashwin, having taken 23,835 deliveries.

India's World's best new ball bowler

 

[honestbharani]

The ethical brain expresses his thoughts and thanks. Subtitles should be up on the video within a day of this post.

TIL he was marked down for having "attitude problems" because he did not say Good Evening to the South Zone selector.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Stupendous numbers.

Ashwin is that spinner whom Tendulkar channeled all too infrequently in his bowling career.

 

[honestbharani]

What a performance!!! Looks like he was given out wrongly in the first inning and was not out in the second. With bat and ball at Trent Bridge. Why I feel he will be a must pick in SENA, fitness permitting, every time.

 

[Daemon]

That was a pretty un SENA pitch though tbf

Seemed like many straight balls got the wickets..

So, Ashwin has played 47 games at home of which team has only lost 4. In comparison, Warne played 69 games at home of which team lost 7. And Murali played 73 games of which team lost 14. Their respective loss % is:

Ashwin = 8.5%

Warne = 10%

Murali = 19%

I mean this is ridiculous number.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Rajesh Chauhan = 0%

Jadeja has lost only 1 test at home.
Pune test

The true GOAT.

Randomly dropping Ashwin in those overseas tests was dumb as **** and I said so at the time.

5 years later here we are...
