Australia batters have miserably failed of their try and sort out India’s spin-bowling duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. So far within the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Jadeja and Ashwin have bagged 31 of the 40 Australian wickets. On the opposite hand, the Australian spinners — Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy and Matt Kuhnemann — have not been in a position to create the identical impression. Former Australia captain Ian Chappell has identified how opposition spinners usually attempt to replicate the skillset of Ashwin and Jadeja, however have not tasted related success.
“Too often they (opposition spinners) do try and replicate the skillset (of Aswin and Jadeja). Talking about Ashwin and Jadeja… They know exactly what to do in India. Ashwin is a damn fine bowler, doesn’t matter where he bowls. I’ve seen him bowl in Australia, he bowled extremely well. He is also very smart. He works out exactly what he’s gotta do. Jadeja doesn’t vary too much although he has learned a few things and has improved his bowling but he’s got the skillset that is perfect for India and the two of them work together,” Chappell stated on ESPNcricinfo.
Chappell believes Lyon mustn’t attempt to bowl like Ashwin and will attempt to discover success in his personal manner as a substitute.
“In this game, I thought Ashwin bowled bloody well but Jadeja got the seven wickets but that’s the way it happens some days. I don’t think you can come and replicate what they do. Nathan Lyon is not R Ashwin, he’s got to bowl like Nathan Lyon and he has tried to do that,” he added.
