Well the media as good as they are have typically twisted the comments as close as they can to what they want to be read.

Fleming never in that article stated India's bowling attack was on par with Australia's he just made a reference saying that they had similar 5th bowling option problems.

It was Cairns who made the statement & in the last 2 weeks i'd have to say he's totally lost the plot with some of things he's said in the media. Its ok to publically target players or criticise them just as long as you're performing yourself & Cairns never came close to that in the World Cup.
