Bhajji's attitude in this Test - absolutely pathetic

[fineleg]

I can agree he was under the weather while bowling. But his attitude while batting in both inn lacked any sense or fighting spirit. Is Harbhajan an utter idiot?

[h4te]

what abooot drawvid? the runout, the slip drop :orderorder:

[Mr. Wicket]

Even whineleg would agree on this one.

[Fontaine]

Absolutely pathetic. Our young, inexperienced tail enders are fighting as if their lives depended on it and here is our most experienced bowler giving away his wicket twice in a completely cowardly manner. WTF was he doing playing that shot to get out?

[diegovegaz]

for about more than a year now, in my words, he is the worst man ever to have held a bat in his hands

[achilles]

He is unfit. Gary Kirsten said - "Playing a half-fit Harbhajan is a risk".

[saneindian]

Flu tha yaar, he had a brain freeze for last 5 days. Win the toss in the 2nd test.

It's only fitting that the worst bowler on the pitch just got thumped for the winning runs with a huge six. Why should we be surprised anyway. When the situation gets tough Harbhajan becomes a coward. It's only when India pile on the runs, the conditions offer good turn and bounce that Bhajji does anything. We have to create tailor made pitches just so this clown can bowl with confidence.

Now he will get angry (don't know why)..If he is fit, he will play the next match and show his anger at his team mates and if khuda-na-khasta he gets lucky with wickets, he will let lose and display his fake anger at everybody (just like the pic above)..

i knew someone would bring this up the innings was a fluke, he is a lappeda

Create tailor made pitches, protect his place in the side by constantly picking him despite streaks of impotence with the ball (whereas the likes of Mishra get dropped the game after helping win us a test v. South Africa!), and he still continues to produce absolute rubbish. Until his place is in danger, at which point we get one good showing (on a dry, turning wicket in the subcontinent almost always), and then another streak of mediocrity.

I really think massive caution should be expressed when playing unfit cricketers. Test cricket is the highest level, and if a player is ill, and massively drugged up on painkillers, how are they going to rise up to the level? I think a fully fit Mishra is better than a half-fit Harbhajan, ten times out of ten.

[Jadoo]

Pathetic display, using his fitness is no excuse, the dipstick has been bowling garbage for god knows how long whilst fully fit.

[King Tendulkar]

The hate mob are back after 1 match:--D

[jusarrived]

Never rated him as a test bowler , so no really surprised . Time give the likes of Ashwin a chance .

[Ram]

Please rewind one test match and kindly notice who helped us win that.

[King Tendulkar]

Never rated him as a test bowler ' date=' so no really surprised . Time give the likes of Ashwin a chance .[/quote'] Don't rate someone with 350 plus test wickets. The mind boggles:((

Good to see some sensible people in this thread. People do not like his character and his style of bowling, but you cannot argue with the results.
