Will Ravichandran Ashwin take 700 test wickets?

[sayon basak]

Is it possible that Ashwin will end up with 700 test wickets?

 

[ma1978]

I don’t think so. He’s had a great career but is done sadly.

 

[sayon basak]

He should at least get to 600 with some homebashing, right?

 

[centurymaker]

Nah, he isn't getting 600 either.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Was lucky last game to even get the 1 given to him that wasn't out. Was outbowled by Kiwi spinners last home series too. Had a great home bashing career but like his batting equivalent Davey Warner he's probably finished

 

[Qlder]

Ashwin is 38 and needs 163 wkts to get to 700. It's taken him 4 years to get his last 163 wkts so is he playing until 42?

 

[Molehill]

550 might be a better question. Will he play in England?

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

He gets bopped for six in his first few overs quite regularly these days.

Tbf we all thought the same thing about Anderson.

Bookmarked.

Not even any chance of getting to 620 to break Kumble's India record

 

[Fanboy375]

He is getting old so he will end with 600.Should target Kumble record but not Warne or Anderson

You got to be taking the piss. 65 matches at home @ 21 and then 41 matches away at ?30 odd. Still better than any english spinner by a country mile in the same period but stat-padded for sure

Pretty similar to Anderson’s home/away split

Anderson is widely acknowledged stat-padder with poor returns in Asia, but which swing bowler doesn't tbf

iirc Imran, Waqar and Wasim did ok in Asia.

They're asian.

They're asian.

all masters of the dark arts so doesn't count. better comparison would be Woakes and Hoggard/Harmison

 

[Coronis]

They're asian.

Why everyone gotta bring race into this?
