Harbhajan: We require a bit of josh in our performance

DesiChap · February 26, 2007

New Delhi: Harbhajan Singh has refuted the theory that the Indian team will have an ?advantage? at the World Cup because they toured the Caribbean islands last year. ?Only when we go there will we know about the conditions. And frankly, I don?t believe that we have any special advantage because we werethere last year,? Harbhajan said. ?It is not fair to say only we know about the conditions. All teams have played in the West Indies. ?We have to put our heads down, concentrate and work hard. We have a strong batting line-up and good bowlers too. Now we need to bring some josh into our performance.? The March 13-April 28 showpiece event will, in all probability, be the last World Cup for senior players like Anil Kumble and Sachin Tendulkar. Harbhajan, however, said the team should not be distracted from its goal by such sentiments. ?You never know what the future has in store... Look at Brett Lee and Andrew Symonds. ?It is a big tournament and no one should be thinking about himself. Everyone should go out and give his best, a 100 per cent.? Harbhajan said he and his teammates were full of confidence going into the quadrennial event. ?Definitely the two series wins (against the West Indies and Sri Lanka) have boosted the morale of the team. But the important thing is everyone is in good nick,? he said. ?The batsmen have been among runs and the bowlers have wickets under their belt. It is all about confidence.? Harbhajan said the slow bowlers will play a crucial role ? but nothing more than what they have done before. ?Spinners have always played an important role,? he said. ?It is important to have variety. A team may go in with four or five seamers if the pitch is green and conditions are totally in favour of the pacers. Even then you can have a spinner, there?s no harm.? Harbhajan acknowledged that the team?s fielding was a bit weak when compared to the batting and bowling. ?To overcome that, we will have to plan accordingly and convert those plans into action.?

Re: Harbhajan: We require a bit of josh in our performance Bhajji will do well to keep his head down and do some good for India. I like his aggressiveness and all but it would be nice for him to do more exploits on the field than off it. As it stands he is still nowhere near Murali or Saqlain as far as bowling in one-day goes. A lot shall rest on him as he is clearly India's main one day spin bowler today. We need your aggressiveness Bhajji but you shall do well to show it on the field. xxx
