Statutory warning. There will be nothing new in this article. Its about R Ashwin.He took a five-wicket haul. Thats happened 21 times before. He dismissed the oppositions best batsmen. Thats pretty much been standard too. However, it is only now that England are experiencing all that first-hand. They had known Ashwin as the bloke who averaged over 50 against them, with a best of 3 for 72. Never as the bowler he is now. The equal of Malcolm Marshall, Waqar Younis, Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh. At least in numbers, if not quite yet in aura.There is, however, no mistaking Ashwins pedigree as an offspinner in the subcontinent.I was able to get the ball to hang in the air, he said matter-of-factly on Friday. Gravity sat and sulked in the corner. And also drift on to the batsmen, and kind of straighten it from stump lines. England joined gravity in said corner, both muttering no fair.Ashwin can turn the ball a long way in helpful conditions. Joe Root found that out yesterday when he lunged out to defend outside his off stump and could have been bowled through the gate. He can also control the amount of deviation with subtle changes in his action. Ben Stokes was lbw with one that went straight. Then there are the angles he can create by going wide of the crease or around the wicket or even simply altering the position of his arm. Adil Rashids outside edge was beaten in this fashion quite often. A measure of Ashwins confidence over his ability to replicate that delivery over and over was his naughty little smile when other bowlers may have belched frustrated words.Those are the enhancements to his offbreak. Besides that, he has an arm ball that actually swings away from the right-hander and a carrom ball.None of this is to suggest Ashwin is peerless. It is meant to be a measure of how far he has come since the 2012 series against England, when he was bullied by Kevin Pietersen and brushed aside by Alastair Cook. Since the Mumbai Test of that series, he has taken 17 five-fors, more than any other bowler. Another sign of his growth is that nowadays, he fields at mid-off, trotting across to the bowler when he comes across an idea worth exploring, rather like Zaheer Khan used to do.From the moment I walked into the Indian Test team, I havent been worried about going and telling something I felt to any other bowler, Ashwin said. Ive shared my opinion with everybody. So Thats not something new. But yes, Im quite enjoying it. Virat [Kohli] obviously communicates a lot of things to mid-off and then I go and tell the bowler about what he wants him to do.Ashwin has become the threat he is by being incredibly accurate. All the variations in the world are useless unless you put the ball in the same spot and ask the batsman to play as often as possible. When he cant read what it will do, he wont be able to deal with it and you win. This is why he is so hard to face as a new batsman. He sizes up his opponent - say, Ben Duckett, who tends to stay leg-side of the ball - manipulates him with his variations - going around the stumps to make him play down the wrong line - and then takes him out.Im very sure hes going to thrust his pad forward the next innings, Ashwin said about Duckett. Im looking forward to try and play on his confusion.

He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later.

Tasmania 4 for 93 trail Victoria 415 (Harris 115, Handscomb 78, Wade 78, White 64, Bird 3-75, Milenko 3-98) by 322 runsScorecard Jackson Bird and Peter Siddle both performed admirably in their Test auditions on a rain-affected second day at the MCG, where play continued until 10.30pm in an effort to make up lost overs. At stumps, Tasmania were struggling in their first innings on 4 for 93, with George Bailey on 25 and James Faulkner on 14, and they still trailed Victoria by 322 runs.It was a difficult evening session for Tasmanias top order against the pink ball as Siddle and his pace-bowling colleagues Chris Tremain and Scott Boland proved hard to get away. Siddle sent down 10 typically miserly overs and picked up 1 for 17, bowling Beau Webster for 20 after Tremain had earlier trapped both Tasmania openers - Caleb Jewell and Ben Dunk - lbw cheaply.Daniel Christian also chipped in with the wicket of Alex Doolan, lbw for 21, and it meant a mountain of work remained ahead of the Tigers at the halfway point of the match. The Bushrangers had resumed the day on 4 for 351 and batted for a further 22.dddddddddddd2 overs for the loss of their final six wickets, putting on 64 runs in that time.Matthew Wade was lbw to Simon Milenko for 78 and Cameron White was caught for 64 off the bowling of Bird, who had been tidy on day one without gaining many rewards. Bird also had Christian caught behind for 3 to finish with 3 for 75 from his 30 overs, which included 10 maidens, and ahead of Fridays naming of Australias squad for the first Test against South Africa it was a solid performance.The likelihood is that Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will be joined by Nathan Lyon and one further fast bowler in the WACA Test, with Bird and Siddle both leading candidates having played on Februarys Test tour of New Zealand. It is possible that both men will be named in the squad on Friday before the final XI is chosen closer to the match. ' ' '
