Actually Richard, my baulking at the OT posts are more to do with the fact that people are bringing Murali into this thread and most of us are well aware of what happens when that occurs.
For two, name me an opposition leg-spinner visiting India with an average there of under 35. Even Abdul Qadir got belted on his trips to India. It's tough work if you're a leggie there.
And comparing the other bowlers to Warnie is erroneous too because by the nature of leg-spin bowling, the leg-spinner will concede more runs per wicket. It is FAR easier to bowl accurately (and therefore concede less runs) as a pace bowler than a leg-spinner. So comparing averages is somewhat disingenous and pretty easily refuted as a method of comparison in general.
For one, name me a leg-spinner who's played long-term who averaged lower than Warnie.If a bowling average of 30 while you have an alltime great bowling crew around you is not getting smashed, particularly in a low-scoring series for the opposition, then what is ? you sport a 30+ bowling average when 2 other bowlers sport their average in teens/early 20s.......thats getting smashed....and this is his BEST series against IND.....he has been thoroughly smashed by IND every single series before as well......
