I'm not surprised they're conceding more runs. With these thick bats the batsman can run down the wicket, completely mistime the shot and get a six with a leading edge.
I'm not sure where the spinners have gone. In recent years Swann and Lyon have been very good anywhere, while Shingh, Shah, Herath and Ashwin have been exceptional in the SC. You need to remember that from 1993-2007 the careers of three spinners with 2100+ test wickets between them overlapped. That's a massive statistical anomaly that would taint any sample.
