Ravichandran Ashwin expects the Adelaide pitch to slow down considerably going forward in the ongoing first Test between India and Australia. I think it’s going to slow down more,” he said in a press conference after the day’s play. Ashwin said that, although Adelaide generally offers something for the spinners, he didn’t expect the ball to grip the way it did on Friday. There is a little bit of hold in the wicket and it is not considerable or vicious. That’s something that worked in my favour because of the drift, the ball going away and coming back in.
