Shakibs bowling has regressed in Tests. I don't think we'll ever see the Pre 2013 version of Shakib

While he's not the batsmen that Shakib is, he's batted very well in high leverage situations.

Ashwin is a geniune Match Winner, won a MOS in Sri Lanka. He doesn't need a raging turner to be effective, a slowpitch will suffice. Saw it in the one off Test match we had here.

It'll be intresting to see his 2nd Tours of SA and England but I suspect he'll be fine. He will be a handful because of the bounce coupled by the sharp turn
