reckon it's more to do with India having faced a lot of him over the last 4 years or so, almost all of our batsmen are use to him.

Don't think so. He clearly doesn't have the mojo to bowl line and length against Indians which he did time and time against others. He had a worse record against Pakistan, but bounced back big time.

Meh, the fact that he's bowling wayward is simply due to us playing him well, there isn't much you can do when your yorkers getting helicoptored by someone like MSD, or swatted by a Virat Kohli. India have gotten use to and figured out how to play his bowling, and he's being made to think and try new things, which is causing him problems.
There is also the fact that 2 new balls is a pretty massive disadvantage to someone like Malinga, who relies a lot more on reverse at the death than swing bowlers who love the extra extended swing that 2 new balls allows them.

Disappointed with Sanga lately, needs to start taking some initiatives early; wicket falling on other end doesn't help his cause though

To be fair I think there is something seriously wrong with the speedgun in this match.

Ah, it's the old CW "I judge a bowler to look bad so he can never take wickets" argument. Go look up his record mate.

May I just draw your attention that Indians and Aussies have been handed their arses back to them by Perera earlier. Average of 23 cannot be a fluke.

Well.. I didn't read his full interview yet but I think what he said was more on the lines of how they didn't expect the pitch to behave so differently when it was just a few yards away from the one used last game. Looks like they were caught unprepared on a pitch that did a bit and seemed like that is what he was admitting as well..

tbf everyone nowadays struggles on a pitch that does something.
