What's wrong with Indian cricket's spin bowlers?

I agree that he made mistakes because he wasn't that good. But since your original reply was for comparison with Rehman then how does mistake make him better than Rehman and how good performance by Rehman makes him a lollipop bowler?

Rehman is a very conventional type bowler who gives support rather than an attacking bowler. He hasnt and wont do well against teams which play spin well (India, South Africa, Australia, Sri Lanka).

SL couldn't beat England at home and India just got thrashed by them. England is among top 3 teams.

At home, yes. They won one game in that series against Sri Lanka because of KP. Barring Cook and KP, they are dead ducks against spin. Trott, Bairstow, Bell, Samit Patel, Compton - are you kidding me ?

Lol, what? They are among top 3 overall. Who are ahead except Australia and SA? Cook, KP, Prior - 3 very good batsman. India and SL doesn't have even those many batsmen. If they are so bad then why SL couldn't beat them in SL? You're rating this SL team ahead of England team - are you kidding me? SL even at best couldn't win a match in India.

Rehman's ranking - 11th. Ojha's ranking - 5th. Before you bring the fact that Rehman hasn't played for long time - Rehman's career best rating 739, Ojha's career best rating 767.

and yet Rehman destrtoyed england, look at what Ojha is doing right now :--D

Rehman took 11 wickets in NZ and played key role in a series win there. Has 20 wickets in 4 tests against SA on roads. Eng series he matched Ajmal.

I think the spinners are pretty good. But we need more minefields and better umpires like in the 90's
