http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 ready to bowl in India-Australia series – Cricket News Update
India’s star spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, is eager to spin the ball in the upcoming 4-Test series against Australia and steer his side to win their first ever event on the Oz soil, claiming that he is in good practice after playing the 2nd warm-up game.
At Day 2 of the three-day game against Cricket Australia Chairman’s XI at Canberra, the rookie spinner grabbed 4 wickets after conceding 52 runs.
The Chennai boy, who has developed a good rapport with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 by playing for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL), asserts that he will make an impact in the coming event despite the fact that the Australian pitches are averse
to spin bowling.
According to his assessment, he avows that the ball will start turning probably after the first three days of the matches, but he will be working hard from beginning to end.
Talking to the media today, the youngster said, “You have to spin it and rub it on the batsmen. First few days of a Test, I don`t expect the ball to turn. It has to be in the air, and later exploit the rough. For the left-handers you attack the stumps and
for the right-hander bowl outside the off-stump.”
Ashwin reveals that he has been learning bowling tactics from umpires and some senior players since his stay in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
He told, “Later, probably if I could sit down with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672 and chat with him. Meanwhile, I have been speaking to a few umpires and they say it spins on day four and five. But I have to look at the match as a whole, keep spinning and flighting the ball
and hoping the batsmen would attack me.”
The 25-year-old bowler remained impressive with his marvellous bowling in the maiden Test series. Making his Test debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 last month, the off-spinner grabbed 22 wickets in 3 matches and also lashed his first Test century. This eye-catching
performance provoked the Indian selectors to grant Ashwin a berth in the squad that is set to start a high-stakes series against the Aussies on Boxing Day.
Apart from this, the right-hander has played 25 ODI and 6 T20I matches so far. He is considered to be an ideal replacement of his senior and veteran spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453.
