Ashwin the Great? Empty Ashwin the Great?

"Incredibly, Muttiah Muralitharan, (with 55) is the only offspinner to have a better strike rate than that of Ashwin, who has so far grabbed a Test wicket for every 56 deliveries he has sent down, a record that leaves the likes of Swann, Laker, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan and the famed quartet behind, in that order. "Lies, damned lies and statistics," Benjamin Disraeli is said to have thundered once, but this is one number that cannot lie, and at this stage of his career Ashwin is the most successful Indian spinner of all time."

-> Impressive record but he played only a couple of tests abroad and didn't fare well.

Remember, even Ajit Agarkar started off his career with a world record(fastest to 50 wickets in ODIs).

oh please, he hasn't done anything to merit all this excitement. let's see what he does in SA. it takes very little to excite the press these days. must be all that overdose of 20-20.

So...what has that got to do with bowling ?

Is there any way to compare fielding performance - bcz everyone agrees fielding is very important.
