Drop Bhajji and give Ashwin a chance

Some guys over here rather see him have a bad day and India lose then win. Its a shame.
I don't think so. Everyone has a view on who should play but once the 11 is selected, everyone gets behind all the guys including those that they don't rate. We want the team to win at the end of the day.

Well if Ashwin had been there' date=' that big partnership during WI innings wouldnt have happened and India would have won by 6 wickets. so there[/quote'] This qualifies for the post of the year. Reminds me of Nostradamus.

My two cents is right, Bhajji is a coward who does the minimum required to keep his place in the team. He does not have the balls to go to that next level where you flight the ball and play mind games with the batsman to get his wicket. Instead this Bhajji just chucks darts and gets by on his economy rate which pleases some but overall is very detrimental to the team as he is just playing the batsman in to launch assaults at the death as m2c says. He is still living off the glory of 2001, and instead of that time being the start of an upward curve in his career, it was the peak and has been all downhill and sideways since.

Who cares about economy when you're not getting wickets? Bhajji didn't bowl badly or great today. He was okay but the argument that he is economical so it's ok is just dumb especially considering he hardly bowls during the power play overs so he's expected not to leak runs! Munaf Patel bowled most of his overs during the power plays so he was more expensive but he also took 3 wickets. That's the job of your best bowlers. Harbhajan would glady go for 4/5 and over if it meant he would pick up 3/4 wickets in a match and so would the captain.

Harby rode the coattails of Mishra today, nothing more or less.

Again, is it too much to ask your senior-most, most experienced and best in terms of talent bowler to actually try to pick more wickets, not be scared of going for runs and bowl agressively like the main strike bowler of a champion team should?

A year outside the team did wonders to his bowling in 2001 when he returned against Australia. Dropping him from ODI's would be a good start.

But' date=' but, but ...Bro...he has jazbaaa, junoonnn and joshhhh!!![/quote'] The emotional captaincy seems to be taking a lot out of his bowling

Did he not deliver today?
Yes of course, his emotional leadership was immense today.

So he bowled superbly in odi 1 and 3(see the stas if you think I made it up. Coming on the back of being the most economical indian bowler in our glorious WC and on the back of his superb tour of SA. Also the irony is that he gets hammered for not giving flight or turning it. So who do the mob want as his replacement? Ashwin, who fires them in even more and gets even less turn. The mob are so selctive in their hate

Do you think 10 overs for 24 with 1 wicket are bad or good figures in an odi? Any other objective pundit it would say they are superb, but the mob.........?:ohmy:

Asia Cup match against Pak, NZ series and now this..from time to time Bhajji keeps saving the team after the batting has collapsed. No wonder all the captains have him in the team. They know fully well what his utility as a player is in the team. But hey like he has business deals with MSD, during the IPL he might have struck a deal with Raina too. And why stop there. We may discover that Kirsten and now Fletcher too are his business partners. :--D
