Aussies jittery of losing crown, says Harbhajan

Australian opening batsman Hayden had called Bhajji an "obnoxious little weed" on Brisbane radio yesterday. More...

:hysterical::haha: Must be that time of the month, where an international cricketer pipes up and states Australia are slipping from number1. Looks like it was Harbhajan's turn this time round.

Everyone but the aussies can see that they are being challenged.... :hysterical:

I must say, Harbhajan is a tough cookie. He has not missed an opportunity to stoke the Aussies. It's as though their targeting of him does not affect him...just spurs him on to fire more back. Above, he is indulging in psychological gamesmanship with them again.

No doubt they are being challenged. I suppose that's the sad thing about all these off field dramas. Without them, it would have been a very entertaining summer. But in saying that, Australia have lost 1 test and 1 ODI. This even after the mass retirements of Langer, Martyn, McGrath and Warne. They are in a rebuilding phase, and as a result are at their lowest point in a decade. Yet they have still accounted easily for India and Sri Lanka in seperate test series, and have now made the CB finals. I don't see the dominance ending anytime soon.

Harbhajan is being diplomatic- what he really wants to say is that Australian team is a bunch of misbehaved uncouth sub-human swines on another note Ponting is furious that Symonds got the contract to clean the most no. of toilets in the recently formed Indian toilet league while Ponting will have to travel to some rural places to clean a couple everyday Hayden was not even abl eto get a contract till a stipulation was added that he will also have to clear the weeds in the Indian forests besides cleaning toilets. :finger:

I don't think the dominance will end from a decline in standards from the Aussies. The dominance will end when another international team raises it standards above Australia and plays above it. When that will happen, and which team will do it, will be interesting.

No as the moronic Aussies call it: "harmless banter" :finger:

I can actually see other test nations (with the possible exception of South Africa) going backwards in terms of their cricketing performance. In my opinion, the standard of cricket from many nations is as low as it has ever been and, be it money problems or a drop in popularity, I get the feeling it is only going to get worse.

You Indians never got your head around that one, did you?
