So, what was wrong with this pitch, Bhajji?

Sarcasm :fail:

Harbi is such a crap bowler these days. No confidence, no guile, no accuracy, no threat. He is just a milking machine for the batsmen.

If not for his batting in WI tour, he would have been seriously under the pump during selection for this tour.

[Hell Raiser]

Bhajji is a useless bowler. Absolutely crap. But i don't know who can replace this guy. I can't see any promising spinner around.

[Sidhoni]

Ojha would have been better than Bhajji, especially against KP.:winky:

[DeepFineLeg]

Bhajji has become a passenger (almost). That's sad to see for someone who's taken 400 wickets. He's forgotten his art or the world has figured him out - whatever it is, he's ineffective

Although I've made this argument myself in the past, I think Ojha deserves more of a chance. Remember he delivered in the third Test in Lanka in Bhajji's absence and acquitted himself decently (though not great) in the home series against Aus and NZ. It was wrong to axe him from the Test squad. Bhajji is not "absolutely crap", he still has good performances like in SA, but they have become sporadic and that zip really has gone out of his bowling. Whether that's because of too much limited overs cricket, who knows.

Lol, what's the role of Bhajji in the bowling line-up?

RIP DARTBHAJAN SINGH

Thats pretty much comprehensive :cantstop:

[sarcastic]

All Harbhajan bashers, please be patient Granted, Bhajji is performing very badly in this test match but every one goes through lows in their careers!!!! Bhajji is in his worst form of his life!!! Please have patience and put confidence in him... He will not disappoint you people.... I will retrieve this post once Bhajji comes back to his finest form and takes wickets in bunches!!!:king:

[The Outsider]

Pitch has too much slope. :mad:

[gaurav92]

LOL Strauss will be gutted that he missed a golden opportunity to score a ton and get back into form just like KP :regular_smile:

But no one gets to play each and every match with such a low for long time.

[gaurav92]

Pitch has too much slope. :mad:

:cantstop: And the pitch is hard and flat, it will crack a little when Swann bowls.

[Sid]

Bhajjji will take wickets one day.....................

[Trichromatic]

Bhajjji will take wickets one day.....................

Yeah, a day will come when he will be able to bowl at economy less than 3 and pick few crucial wickets in bunches. Keep patience. :((

[Late Cut]

Swann taking apart Dartbajan...lol

[King Tendulkar]

I have to agree Bhaji has been awful this innings. Really awful
