katich getting dropped after the scg game is up there in terms of worst droppings ever
Not really. Swann (from memory) really only performed at Adl. Of course, he only needed to perform at Adl, so he did what he had to do. And I guess performing when needed to is something that overseas spinners have often lacked

Well yeah, that's kind of the point, he had a pretty ordinary series but at least he did something.

Vettori with the only solid series by a finger spinner, back in 01/02.
Plenty of wreckages though, Murali's figures of 4 wickets at 100 in 07/08 rather conspicuous. Richard Dawson's effort in 02/03 - 5 wickets from 4 matches at nearly 80 while conceding over 4 an over - is also, ahem, illustrative

Did you see Prasanna in Australia JB? He seems to have had a good game at the Gabba back in 67/68, although not a lot of fun when he returned a decade later!

That Indian team captained by Pataudi(jr) was stacked with talent.Prassanna nearly won that match with his 6 for in the second innings.Fairly ineffective in first innings although he took a couple. I did not see him again until '77 at the twilight of his career and thought him ordinary then.
FOOTNOTE
Rusi Surti as a result of that '68 tour ended up playing for QLD in the Shield. Now he was an underrated cricketer

Kumble in 03/04 the only truly great series performance really... what a hero he was in that series... bowled marathon spells against arguably the best batting lineup ever on the flattest pitches imaginable. Champ.

He was pretty solid at Melbourne IIRC. Bowled 22 overs for 23 runs or something daft like that which meant Australia when absolutely nowhere whilst our quicks rotated.
