Answer 2

the question is all about debut test series,everybody is mistaken=LOL

it simply cant be harbajan

since Harbajan Singh 's Test debut India v Australia at Bangalore, March 25-28, 1998  he cant take 30 odd wickets there, actually Indian guys say=Bajji took 30+ wickets  in 2001

so it is not his debut series

even george Lohman didnt take 30 odd wickets in his debue

5) Ajantha Mendis of Sri Lanka in the 2008 SRL v IND series captured XX wickets conceding just x*x runs. He took XX percent of all wickets taken by bowlers in that series. We have to find the values of X.
