With two variations, bowler needs to be extremely consistent though then it should be alright
That's called a pie
That's what happens when you put him into a good side.
Disagree. The leg spinner's stock ball is the key to being successful. The latter half of Warnes career is a testament to that (relying solely on a leg spinner and slider). Without a consistently reliable stock ball you have nothing to fall back on when the going gets tough, and we all know when it comes to leg spinners it can be a very lonely place when that inevitable soul searching period approaches. Can't rely on variations, because its the lead up to that variation that makes or breaks it.
As mentioned earlier, bowler needs to be very accurate if doesn't have variations in armoury; Warne's injury restricted him to use some variations perfectly in later years but he had near bull's eye accuracy; don't think any young (in terms of exposure) leggie new into the scene can possess that sort of skill to make up for; also variations are not only used to take wickets, variations are also needed to set batsman up; to keep batsman guessing and make them look at bowler's releasing point even more closely to know what's coming next.
