Statistic is like bikini bathing suit.What it reveals is trivial and what it conceals is vital. I have witnessed the great offie in the mumbai test against team by Tony Lewis of England. Roger Tolchard was the batsman at crease. He use to go out of crease 3 to 4 steps not to attack but to kill the ball at the spot where it was pitch. Prasanna and kirmani working in tandem virtually fooled tolchard. After feeding several well flighted deliveries to Tolchard which he smothered by dancing yards down the track. Prasanna bowled faster one outside the leg stump which Tolchard failed to read and was found stranded . Before he could know , the wickets were broken in flash by kirmani. Tolchard was at the receiving end of the derision which even Cervantes would not have thought of Don quixote.
