We all know SriLankan and Indian spinners didn't like the cricket balls they were presented to play within each country. Murali averages 45 in India. Kumble 44 and Harbhajan 40 in SL. At home they averaged sub 25 against same opposition.

Dravid never dominated Murali. Struggled in SL where Murali had a Kookaburra to bowl with. Even when bowlin with SG Dravid played Murali safe. Never dominated.

Same as what Barrington did with pace. Didn't dominate. To his credit unlike Dravid against spin, rarely struggled against them too.

I blame Sidhu and Tendulkar for the failures of the top 2 spinners in India, Mfs psychologically scarred them

Speaking of balls. Anyone else still find it ridiculous we use 3 different balls in test cricket at this point?
