Fair enough.   I definitely misunderstood what he said then.  Because when
he says "Give a spinner a 4th day & 5th day. Then lets decide whether he has
the potential to run through a side in tests.",  it seems reasonable.    A
spinner against and in Australia may not even get that opportunity, but at
least he is proposing a measurable criterion.

3 days of cricket between India and one of the best ever sides in history is
something not many will get a chance in their lifetimes.  So enjoy it dude.

If you get a chance, yell "GILLY'S a WUSS" for me.  :-)
