Bhaji appreciation thread-We are missing him today


Recommended Posts

It will be good to see Bhajji back in form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Gives more options to the selectors for the Asia Cup. Ashwin is a good bowler too, but needs to use his brain more in conditions which don't help him much. Bhajji is still a good Limited overs player. Hope to see him in the match vs Pak (Asia Cup).

Second highest wicket-taker among off spinners in the history of the game Haven't seen anything from Ashwin in this tour that Bhajji would not have done. Jump off the 'hater' bandwagon and smell the coffee. :finger:
but ashwin hasnt done anything which bhajji would ve thats a big positive :winky:

Not good compared to English spinners but he did outbowl Ashwin. Despite some very unlucky decisions not being given (Cook) his figures were okay. Had the lbw been given, people would have praised his figures. But anyway he was under bowled, only half the overs Ashwin or Ojha bowled. And the pitch was very suitible for Ashwin as well.

even the crowd in the stadium were chirping him, and then darter got the poor guy chucked out - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournament/england-in-india-2012/top-stories/Spectator-ejected-after-abusing-Harbhajan-Singh/articleshow/17366214.cms?

MUMBAI: Despite repeated announcements over the PA system warning spectators against hurling abuses or engaging in offensive behaviour towards players or officials, a section of the crowd seated in the Divecha Pavilion at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday decided to vent their ire on Harbhajan Singh. One of them kept abusing the Indian offie, passing lewd remarks and taunting him for not bowling enough. After having had enough, Bhajji, already frustrated at being dropped for over a year and being reduced to a third spinner's role despite a 15-year and 99-Test experience behind him, gave the abusive spectator a piece of his mind. The police was then informed and the spectator taken to the Marine Drive Police Station. Says Z Gharal, PIS of the Police Station, "He kept on taunting him by saying, "Bhajji bowling karo na." He also abused him. After a complaint, we took him to the police station where he was let off with a stern warning." Mumbai Cricket Association joint secretary PV Shetty also said, "Yes, we acted on the police complaint and threw him out. The police let him off after a warning." Harbhajan was probably already seething as Indian skipper MS Dhoni waited till the 24th over before giving him a bowl. The Jalandhar-born spinner was also frustrated at being unable to break the third-wicket partnership between Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen. KP, in particular, gave him some rough treatment. He was extremely annoyed because a couple of confident LBW shouts against Cook were turned down by umpire Aleem Dar on Saturday. Dar, by the way had already annoyed Bhajji by ruling him LBW off Graeme Swann when the batsman thought he was not out on Day 2. Harbhajan picked up his first wicket in his 21st over, that of Stuart Broad. However, he didn't have to wait too long for his second, which came five balls later in the form of James Anderson. After dismissing the England pacer, the bowler went to the Divecha Pavilion where he was fielding and angrily gesticulated at the people who were targeting him. That provoked them even more.

Will Harbhajan play 100 tests for India or go Azharuddin's way? Harbhajan Singh 99*, Zaheer Khan 87* Both have immense contribution to Indian Cricket. How many of you think Harbhajan Singh has played his last test for India, or do you think he will be given proper farewell test. Mohd. Azharuddin played exactly 99 Tests in his entire career and has been stranded at the 100th Test. He was probably destined to play 99 Test matches.
