Too bad performances in matches lost don't count as matchwinning performances.
We are going to have to disagree again on what constitutes a matchwinning performance. I think you need a certain margin of wickets to qualify and three to me is below par, especially in a case where in the same innings/match you have higher wicket takers. Apparently for you, number of wickets don't matter, maybe even a single high profile wicket would be sufficient to be called match-winning.
We are lowering the standard for Ashwin since he doesn't really have anything of note in SENA and making a big deal of a single series where he didn't really have a starring role.
It is quite simple. Any spinner in SENA is expected, occasionally and when the conditions are right, usually day 4/5 of a test but can be earlier, to run through a side and win you a game. Yasir Shah, Murali, Saqlain, Chandra, Kumble, Herath and other SC spinners have done so. Not so Ashwin.
