I read on Twitter that Ashwin was an opening batsman before he took up spin. His technique is solid but just more comfortable on the rear foot. And IMO no way should a biffer like Saha bat ahead of Ashwin
I have also heard he was an opener but so was Stuart Broad.  I have no idea who could replace Ashwin at 6 and Kohli certainly fancies him in.that position but for me he isn't a 6.. Time will tell of course, if India ever play a 5 match series out of Asia...
The words " rocking horse" and " S##t" spring to mind..n

Just investigating Mr Broad's record in Asia... and its quite awful:

Broad….

India:
filtered   2008-2016   5   7   120.0   26   416   4   1/39   2/134   104.00   3.46   180.0   0   0

Sri lanka:
filtered   2007-2012   2   3   68.0   10   199   3   1/33   2/104   66.33   2.92   136.0   0   0


Its shocking in India… 180 strike rate!

Surprised he "always makes the team"

And no fans are even questioning it?

Broad has 20 wickets at 23 in UAE so it's not like he can't bowl in subcontinental conditions(or Middle East if you prefer)

I think the conditions in UAE differ from those in Asia.

I am not convinced his suited to Asia wickets. Lets see  if he proves that wrong.

For me Kohli is fine on spinning / flat wickets. As soon as you get any movement around off stump he's struggling. I'm sure he'll crack it eventually but he'll struggle in england/nz/sa in particular.

Who doesnt struggle? first session of first test , Cook struggled on a flat pitch Indian pitch. Second test aus vs SA, i guess every batter was dancing like a village cricketer.

Just an observation but broad bowls quite open chested and into the pads which makes it easier for batsman to work to leg in Indian conditions. The most successful seam bowlers channel a line outside off stump.

Can some please tell Michael blooming Vaughan ansari has played two test matches and Rashid about 8
Default position:blame the spinners, dog has had a dump on the pitch:blame the spinners.

He really gets on my wick, we are going to be in trouble in this match the Indian spinners know the conditions and are good bowlers, we are not as good as them in that dept!

Cook definitely made the wrong decision last evening by not taking the new ball earlier and attacking. This morning it's not moved at all.

Rashid's drop continues to cost...if kohli gets to 200, it would be his 3rd of the year! Also probably one of the fittest cricketers going around, seen the likes of AB cramp up in Indian conditions but Kohli carries on sprinting those singles.

Looks like I jinxed kohli  :D. All part of the plan from stokes - drops ashwin the ball before allowing the single and catches kohli the very next ball

From what I saw yesterday and his fielding is morning, broad doesn't even look remotely fit! Should have played ball or woakes instead.

I'll repeat myself from a month ago and reiterate that his winter is going to be a rude awakening for all the people clamouring for Rashid or anyone else to replace Moeen.

455 all out I think England will be happy to not let India get to 500 after yesterday

Over to the batsmen!
