Not that Ashwin does anything away from home either.
Outside Asia, perhaps. Away record is ok.
Well, Jadeja hasn't played much in "away" countries that assist spin i.e. WI, Bangladesh and SL. Their records outside Asia (excluding WI) and at home (the two types of conditions in which both have played) are fairly similar, so I don't understand this urge to put Ashwin on a pedestal and mock Jadeja for being a home bully. If anything, Jadeja was better on flatter tracks in the recent series.
