Reams have been written about Ashwin's new avatar in which he finds himself to be spoken in the same breath as some of his illustrious country-men from the past. Raina brought in ten. Rohit brought in some more. So did Jaddu. MSD was his usual self. Aggressive, imaginative and cajoling his men to give more. At one stage, he apparently chided Rayudu (substituting for somebody), "Don't stand there like a volley-ball player; anticipate the batsman's moves by watching his foot-work!" Now, don't start on, "Why couldn't he have done this in tests?"
The target was nothing to write home about. And the Indian batters behaved as such :-)
