Is Ravichandran Ashwin an ATG test bowler?

[Xix2565]

Bro every time you guys get in a **** fight with him it's something to do with India or an Indian player

He's always posting dumb **** about Indian cricket, but he does this with everything else too. Hence anti-cricket is a better descriptor.

Subzi is in pain when Indian cricket does well. Always is.

And it's always fun.

Ashwin's figures don't look as disastrous in Australia as they should because he gets to skip the hard games that don't suit spin - unlike Lyon who plays them all, to his detriment. The fact that Ashwin comes over and doesn't play some games is a tantamount to what a conditions dependant and utterly **** **** he is.
He's a nice bloke and all, but a **** **** who doesn't play when he can't bully.

Steve Smith says hello (or whatever it is bunnies say when they greet others)

 

[subshakerz]

show me any journalism toaupport your point

have shown you plenty that puts him in ATG category from the most respected publications in the world (including non cricketing publications like the Economist)

You know your argument is bad when you have to cite non-cricket sources to back it up.

This shows the delusion of Ashwin supporters. They live on those wickets as if Ashwin beat the great Steve Smith whereas the truth is the lesser Steve Smith in decline gifted wickets, as he has done to all **** ***** for a couple of years. Ashwin was just the lucky bowler at the time Smith imploded.

2-1 for two consecutive BGS in Australia, someone is doing something right and I’m pretty sure it’s the Galaxy brain at work.

not sure Australia s have the right to comment on India / Australia at this stage

And despite all that Ashwin averages 42 in Australia, and posters here are going to cite Ashwin in Australia as some bogus evidence he is an ATG.

The truth is Ashwin's record in SENA may already be beyond salvageable to establish any ATG claim.

Of which he played 1 game in the first series yet you bizarrely give him credit for that series win somehow.

This is actually completely accurate. It was only the 1 series and IIRC a couple of the dismissals were nothing balls down leg that brain-dead Smith middled to leg slip

India's record against Australia is absolutely great. That is mostly down to everyone around Ashwin. I mean, he is better than a grade cricketer, but since you've cited that record as evidence of Ashwin's greatness, you should look into it and realise it was not on the back of Ashwin's work. It was Pant and others who stood up to our bowlers who gave India the edge. Part of that batting may also have been Ashwin - but his bowling did not win them a series. This is just more evidence of the delusion Ashwin fans live with.

Oddly peak Smith knocking around Ashwin for fun in 2014/15 doesn't count. Because implicitly Ashwin being ordinary is the baseline expectation for him in SENA so every departure from the norm has to be highlighted.

No because the best journalism isoften non cricketing, and it just shows the level of cultural penetration

I could keep doing this all day

that 2014/2015!series was the roadiest ever. See hack centuries from the likes of Vijay andRahane

Let me check with David Attenborough on Tendulkar vs Lara then.

what a coward that Ashwin, cant even relinquish Indian citizenship, pick up Australian one and turn out for Australia to outbowl Lyon smh

You mean the same series Lyon spun Australia to victory with 14 wickets in the first test? Yet you are getting in a tizzy over an Ashwin threefer here or there. Ashwin can't take 14 wickets in a series in Australia much less a test.
