Whatever Ash does seem to upset people. He plays slowly, people complaint he is wasting time. He scores quickly, he is not playing a test match. I would like some one to point our a single good delivery off which he played a shot. He got a lot of bad balls, and put them to use. He did not play many reckless shots.
Also his dismissal, if you look closely Ojha was getting the ball to grip and turn almost every delivery, but the one Ash went after did not turn despite having no change in action. It was just one of those ball which was intended to turn but did not. If the ball had turned, that would have been a boundary. Nonetheless, it was a tad rash on Ash's side to go for such shots at that stage. If he could put bhajji/Ojha off track by a few lusty blows, playing the spinners would have been much easier for other batsmen.
