Drop Bhajji and give Ashwin a chance


Recommended Posts

Posted
Ithink Ashwin should get a chance but the hatred people are displaying for Harbhjan is borderline pathalogical. He is a team person and had always performed well. He probably is the best spinner out there.
Hatred? :blink: Where is the pathological hatred for Harbhajan on this thread.

who is talking about tests here. This is about ODIs
1st odi he out bolwed mishra, took 3 wickets and Mishra got zero(an oppportunist should have started a thread slamming mishra then). Also Bhaji had best e.rate in wc for indian bowler. Played crucial role, was dhonis go to bowler when runs are flowing as he stops the flow, thats his role , although so called fans still have not realised this after years of watching him. Instead they blurt out the his role is wicket taker nonsense. Someone tell this to team india who tactically use him in a totally different role and do so with massive success

^ Well mishra should have been axed after 1st. Then Bhaji axed after 2nd. Then in 3rd whoever gets least wickets is axed and is replaced by bhaji again. We should do same for batters. Kohli should have been axed after 1st odi as he failed. Then in last odi Dhawan has to go as he failed. Sehwag should be axed as he failed in his last match as well. Whoever gets least runs in next match has to go, as well as player with least wickets.

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: I never said that he should be axed or something. What I meant was that every bowler ha off days but in Bhajji's case he has been having too many off days this summer. And the economy rate is not what you want from your attacking spinner. I would love to see if Bhajji picks up a couple of wickets even after going for 60 runs, rather than a 0/50. What he does is after getting belted for a six, bowls a flatter ball and darts it so that the batsman doesn't get underneath the ball and tonk him again. but what he should do is, toss it up again and entice him for another false stroke. He gets most of his wickets as a result of batsman failing rather than him earning (Out hitting one in the deep on a full toss or attempting a reverse paddle and trying to be a lil too cheeky and missing a straighter one), I hope you are getting my point.

So in world cup he was our most economical spinner. In 1st odi he took 3 wickets and bowled very well, if parthiv was not so hopeless would have had 5. In 2nd odi bowls ok and now he must be axed after just one so called percieved bad performance in just one match. So no dont see your point. Fickle or blind hate! not sure which one here

I'll put it in a different way.. Let's assume he is a senior spinner/player in the team. He should be assured of his place hence he should've taken a break from this ODI series..This series should've been used to try out the additional upcoming spinners we have..Bhajji is not required in this ODi series..Ashwin & Mishra could've easily got the job done.. Bhajji should've got a well earned break and could've joined the Test team..

Nope I never said axe him. Tell me when did I say that ? My point is, Bhajji is not our premier spinner in ODIs anymore. In Tests, may be yes but certainly not in ODIs. You say he is very economical, but whats the point ? We want wickets from him and not just containing batsman. His strike rate in the World Cup was an epic 58 which means 1 wicket in one game after bowling 10 overs which is very bad for a premier spinner. So in my opinion on the current form, Harbhajan should not be guaranteed a spot in ODIs.

:hysterical::hysterical:Still bitter from being owned in politics section by me. Let it go kid! I know you think mandela and ghandhi did nothing for their countries but cos I outed that dumbness dont get bitter. Bhaji has been superb for India with 350 plus test wickets and yet gets treated like this, very sad. Also played crucial part in our wc win. Had best economy rate of all our bowlers in the tournament. O how the masses forget, the masses can be so fickle.:((
Listen dude, I have showed a vast amount of courtesy and politeness to you. So let me repeat this again, this is cricket talk and keep your discussions related to that. If you want to talk politics , go back and post there. So calm the **** down.

Werent you one of thos calling for his head when he went through a bad patch. The masses are so fickle I mean look at this joke thread you have started against The man of the last world cup tourament http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=267146 Bit here you hail him as emotional leader. Masses are so fickle
WE toured SA and bhaji was superb. He was superb in WC as had best econmoy rate. Really silly how mob is after him after one match were he actually bowled ok and hit the winning runs. The mob is so hateful
Can the mob please read these stats. Overseas against second best tesam in the world and Bhaji delivers(please note 350 plus test wickets and ranked in top 10 bowlers in the world). But yes Ashwin did very well in IPL!
Also I love the way everyone is launching in to bhaji after the second odi i.e 1 match. BUT in 1st odi bhaji out bolwed mishra as he took 3 wickets to mishras zero! The maases are so opportunistic!
Whom are you calling the mob? As far as I can see you are the mob. :haha::haha::haha:

Those are all facts and figures hence haraam. some of our pakiesque friends here have talked about how Harby contributes through his Jazba, junoon and josh. Are you aware of the JJJ factor?

You don't have to look at facts and figure. If you watch him bowling, it makes, even amature, district level off-spinners like me cringe..Whtateve might've been the compulsions, I'll never bowl the way he bowls..Legside darts and bowling legside 5 wides on a regular basis..

People are getting way over defensive over Bhajan anyways. No player should play every match should they? Aside from form, given we have picked two other spinners in a largely experimental squad then what is the harm in giving them games? Ashwin and Mishra have played 21 ODIs between them...Bhajji has played fricking 228! It is as wrong to paint Bhajji as the devil as it is to present Ashwin as the messiah, but I don't see why anyone should have a problem with some change within a series.

yes becuase its really fair to compare a seasoned veteran to people who havent played more than a handful of matches. Bhajji supporters always come out with such gems. Surely Mishra should get more chances to prove himslef in such an inconsequtional series?
