@saieen

ok answer this then. in the recrntly concluded PAK-SA series @ home…

SPINNERS
-------------
paul harris took 12wkts @ 20.66 (avg) 1.96 (econ) and 63.0 (SR)
abdul rehman took 11wkts @ 32 (avg) 2.81 (econ) and 68.1 (SR)
danish kaneria took 10wkts @ 42.20 (avg) 2.78 (econ) and 91.0 (SR)

rest u can check @ http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=3281;type=series

now tell me how come paul harris was more effective on these pitches than kaneria. and despite rehman taking more wkts than kaneria, he was not given a single chance in the on going series.

as for fast bowlers, DW styn was the out standing fast bowler with 9wkts while gul took 6 and asif took only 2. explain me that if pitches were for fast bowlers then how come pakistan bowlers failed to make an impression as strong as styn and if pitches were for spinners then how harris/rehman out performed kaneria?

in the on going series, kumble gave the early break through to india most of the times while kaneria hardly looked threatening even after 30+ over of bowling.

That’s simple… Pakistan are terrible players of spin. SA are pretty good, and Indians are excellent against spin. Even Warne was spanked around by Tendulkar, Laxman, and co.

The fact that Kumble has only two more wicket than Kaneria is a credit to Kaneria. Pakistan batsmen are clueless against legspin, offspin, and left arm orthodox. Especially against Kumble’s fast spinners.

Salim Malik was the last great batsman Pakistan had against spinners.
