Ashwin is my favourite non-English cricketer atm. Plays hard, tough, competitive, win at all costs cricket on the field and a brilliant guy off the field.

The likes of Lawrence, Lees and Crawley haven’t yet secured their place in this side and sacrificed grinding soft runs on a pudding to give their attack a shot of an incredibly unlikely win. This England side have a lot of flaws but selfishness certainly isn’t one of them.
