Even India, and obviously Pakistan and Sri Lanka use at least 1 or 2 more pacers on average.
Plus most of the times teams play very attacking against us. So players tend to take a lot of risks like going down the wicket which they wouldn't do against a stronger bowling line up. So maybe our keeper is getting more opportunity. If there was a way we could see how many stumping Mushy missed through out his career comparing to some of the other current wicket kepeers that would give us a much better idea as to how good mushy really is at stumping.
