The averageness of VVS is clear to all to see, if you look at it properly. If you remove the periods where he shouldn't have been selected because his aunt was sick, or the matches he played with an ingrown toenail, you get a much more accurate understanding of his record. Plus I don't consider Bangladesh to be test class, and thus never count them.

I don't believe you. Please provides numbers which include subcontinent v away then this average halved by the number of spinners in each team while subtracting any spinners that average over 28

This impressive table begs to differ.
Code:
M 1 34 LBW
M< 2 15 LBW

except when they're away, so in that case you need to provide an away v home average for all subcontinent spinners while also taking in their ability to play performing matches against major test playing nations in away series, not including dead rubbers.

Furthermore, since averages have become inflated since the late 90s, I believe an accurate representation of those two players averages can further be calculated by adjusting 0.007% of their average runs by year according to the highest wicket taker of the years average and the strike rate of said bowler, while also considering pitches, assisting bowlers in his team, bad umpires and great batsmen

Utter tosh, as shown in
