Pragyan Ojha

[Trundler27]

This guy deserves a decent run in the test side now.... he is a very good off spinner of the left arm variety. His confidence and discipline can be gauged from how he dismissed sammy in the first innings. After getting hit for a 6, he flights the next ball and gets him out. His arm ball is as good as vettori's arm ball and that in itself would get him many wickets in test cricket.

bump Ashwin continues to hog limelight but how can we continue to ignore Ojha who has 20 wickets for the series?

^^One thing about Ojha is that he does a disappearing act some times, ex the first innings here.

[Lord]

^ not really he has always been decent was dropped surprisingly for Mishra

[J P K]

best spinner of India ATM

^^One thing about Ojha is that he does a disappearing act some times' date=' ex the first innings here.[/quote'] He has played most of innings on absolute flat tracks. I don't think anyone has been unlucky like him during initial period of his career. It's great that he kept on performing in FC cricket and looks second best spinner of India.

Very good performance, he was unfairly left out of the Test side for nearly a year.

I agree, it is was pretty dumb to pick Mishra over him.

:omg:ojha has done better than warne and murali instead of playing atleast 6 tests on flat track

[phaedrus]

have been wondering all throughout the tour, ojha has been curiously away from the spotlight when ashwin gets all the plaudits. his performance got us to the stage where we could press for a win. well done bro, well done

BUMP While Ashwin is rightfully hogging the limelight, Ojha is playing a wonderful role in these home wins. Updating my earlier list Number of wickets take by our spinners after 15 tests (only number of wickets, Ojha has 68@33) - Kumble - 83 Prasanna- 75 Bhajji - 63 Chandra - 62 Venkat- 51 Bedi - 52 Other leading spinners after 15 tests- Swann- 67 Saqlain- 58 Warne - 54 Murali- 55 Ashwin could very well leap ahead of all others in the list by the time he has played 15 tests.

Ajmal had 74 after 15 tests.

[carnish]

Ajmal had 74 after 15 tests.

But Ajmal would have played most of his tests against bangladesh or zimbabwe till then ... so it was easy peasy for him ... Ojha >>> Ajmal
