Harbhajan is now Officially Unbowlable

[Anakin]

Let Mendis play for few years first. Most batsmen will figure him out by then.

i dont know why every body wants to put down mendis-he is a once in a generation spinner and if he plays as long as warne and murali then he may well considered their equal-i have recognized his geniusness.

bcoz till now only his skill has been tested,which is awesome.but once he is found out,his temperament n mental toughness will be tested.that'll be a much bigger test.until he passes that,he cant be a great.

There are two facts we need to digest: 1. Harbhajan is not as good as some of us think he is. He has many weaknesses. 2. Still he is the best we have.

Actually there's more. Bhajji can be such a wonderful, attacking and dangerous spin bowler in the subcontinent. He's done it in the past but since his finger/hand injury a couple of years ago he doesn't bowl up to his potential. That's the only problem I have with him. It would be different if he was new in the side, but he's one of our most experienced players so he knows all the tricks, the variations, loop etc. We've all seen him bowl like that from time to time. He just doesn't do it consistently enough and that's not lack of talent, or ability, that's purely his mentality. The same mentality that's gotten him into trouble with match referees and other players when slapping them around. What I WILL say though to be fair, is that we've played top teams all year like Sri Lanka, SA, Australia, England, etc so it's not like he was out there getting loads of wickets against Bangladesh or New Zealand like a lot of other bowlers have.

Bhajji should learn legspin from Laxman Sivaramakrishnan as a teesra surprise delivery. Many wickets will come.

BUMPity bump. Actually, probably too early as it is only the first session of the match but Mishra has comfortably out bowled him. :headshake: Dart throwing

[vvvslaxman]

Expect some statistics being reeled out :hysterical:

[graphic23]

Inspite of a first day pitch helping out spinners, what does Bhajji do? Throw darts on the leg stump. :headshake:

[Andy]

He bowls too fast. Perhaps he is in the ODI mode. And his middle leg line in a test match sux. Is he scared of getting cut?

[saneindian]

Bhajji has lost his confidence totally. Looks clueless when a batsman tries to attack him. Hopefully with some stroke of luck, he picks up a few wickets to get back into rhythm.

[Fontaine]

Why should this performance be of any surprise? Bhajji bowling to two new batsman after Khan did all the work with the openers and the pitch turns and Bhajji sucks again.

Yeah and Mishra is smoking them in comparison:haha: Judging a spinner on a day 1of a test is one of the biigest mistakes a cricket watcher can do!

what good is a spinner if he can only take wickets on 4th n 5th day. even Graeme Swann regularly too wickets on first day in SA series

So Mishra is cr.ap as well then. Gives Oijha a go as well next test if he does not go through them day 1 then he is cr.ap as well, better we play with no spinners then:giggle: Not saying bhaji can't take wickets day 1 as has done before. Just everyone knows that a spinner taking wickets day 1 etc is difficult and not done regularly.

Mishra n Ojha r new n learning.Bhajji has played 81 tests now n should bowl better.

[King Tendulkar]

Mishra has bowled 10 overs more then Bhaji this innings and still has not got a wicket.

What nonsense. Bhajji is the most experienced bowler in the team, and your other excuse is nonsense as well about the first day because there was enough moisture in the pitch early to get real good turn. Even the commentators are remarking about what a bad day this guy has had. He's like the Agarkar of spin bowlers!! :hysterical:

[Andy]

Bhajji Lunatics can jump and protest, but the conclusion is bhajji is not the bowler wat he was 2 years back, overall he is crap now. Bhajji sux big time and he sud be dropped wid mishra. And i stand by this opinion.

Aah the same excuse from the Bhajji defenders. They try to compare his performance on a match by match basis with new comers completely ignoring the fact that Bhajji has been given a long run for years compared to the few matches played by the otehr spinners.

You know the reason why a new comer was given so many more voers than Bhajji, right? Bhajji couldnt even contain the runs
