Exactly. Dhoni made 200, Kohli and Clarke 130(ish)...

Doherty, lol.God is an Englishman wrote:australia should have learnt from England's mistake of only playing 1 spinner. Unfortunately for you guys, we have panesar and swann and you have lyon and doherty. Cannot see you turning this around somehow.
We haven't been able to for years. Swann's only an above-average spinner who has had a few good years, but we made him look like Murali - or Warne.DOC wrote:the pitch didn't have as many demons in it we just cannot play spin
I wish I could be only above average and as good as him. Who is a better spinner in world cricket at the moment?Chade wrote:We haven't been able to for years.

Are you sure he took more wickets?
Who did Herath take these wickets against and where were they played?

Test Cricketers, and on an oval.
Swann played 4 more Tests too.God is an Englishman wrote:Bacon888 wrote: 100%.

yes, it appears he took 1 more wicket than Swann in 2012
1 wicket whilst playing 7 matches in the spin friendly conditions of the sub continent compared to 2 by Swann.
I'll take Swann instead of him THANKS!!

Depends on the batsmen and the bowler. The pitch thing is obvious but not the only consideration.God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:Warney seemed to have as good record if not better playing on English wickets as opposed to the sub-continent.
probably the drugs
I have no idea on the drug cheats record in various countries but be serious for a monent. Where's it easier to take a wicket for a spin bowler. London or Columbo, Manchester or Galle?
Yes, a spinner would rather bowl to doherty in galle than cook in birmingham.Bomber wrote:Depends on the batsmen and the bowler.

Lyon is still the best spinner you have.Bomber wrote:Lyon dropped (not surprised).
Not that it will likely matter for a while, but who'll sing the song now? Why Hussey picked him was laughable to begin with.

And if they got a wicket or two in those couple overs of bowling, he'd have been hailed a hero.God is an Englishman wrote:Lyon is still the best spinner you have.Bomber wrote:Lyon dropped (not surprised).

What the shiraz was that grandstanding declaration all about? Clearly didn't work.
Is clarke even worse a captain than ponting was?
