wobblydoggy Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Like I said yesterday, our over rate stinks even with a spinner. If we play 4 seamers, we'll end up bowling 10 overs an hour. You have to pick the best team for the conditions but this is something to consider as well. Yes it is possible that Dhoni will get a ban if you keep that over rate up
Trichromatic Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Like I said yesterday, our over rate stinks even with a spinner. If we play 4 seamers, we'll end up bowling 10 overs an hour. You have to pick the best team for the conditions but this is something to consider as well. Well teams do manage to maintain over rate with 4 pacers. It's upto captain how to manage it. You can get 4 spinners and still fall short of over rate. Slow bowlers will have to bowl in any match, be it part-timer or regular spinners. I think Raina and some other part-timer can bowl 10-15 overs in an inning without getting as much as Bhajji got.
SachDan Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Harbhajan might not pickup a wicket in the next test but he'll score a 'crucial' 50 odd runs and cement his place for entire series, such is his luck these days :)
jonas10 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 No it is not we have some very nice ones thank you. It mystifies me that India who have the most spin friendly pitches in the world are not producing more world class spinners? No its bare...Please tell me who they are and what their test rankings are if any exist.
Silva Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 No it is not we have some very nice ones thank you. It mystifies me that India who have the most spin friendly pitches in the world are not producing more world class spinners? This is what I have been saying for a while. India is having just as much trouble in producing spin bowlers as they are in producing quality fast bowlers. I read an interesting article on cricinfo about how many teams are playing negative spin bowlers rather than giving chances to genuine spin bowling talents. Basically our domestic structure is still **** despite the fact that bcci is making a ton of money. People bashing Bhajji should spend their anger on the BCCI and for not reforming Indias ranji trophy and trying to make it on par with England who just gave us a butt kicking depite cricket being a 2nd tier sport with a much smaller population.
The Outsider Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Bhajji won't be dropped. He has cost us three test matches in a row now with his pathetic bowling but will carry on playing, pick up a few wickets somewhere down the line, his fans will bump up threads, Bhajji will give interviews, Dhoni will talk about the value of Bhajji to the team, and we will be stuck with a 35+ averaging emotional leader.
EnterTheVoid Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Will team management drop Harbhajan? Short answer: NO! Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Yoda-esque Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Short answer: NO! Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! :hysterical::hysterical:
gaurav92 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Dhoni said at the post match pr4esentaion " The track was very flat and there was very little in it for the spinners" :facepalm: He wont be dropped I am sure :((

We must drop him and make him realize that he isn;t a certainty in the Playing XI. Only then will he realize the importance of his place.
pinkfreud Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Dartbhajan needs to be dropped, but his place in the team has become as secure as f***ing Fort Knox. No matter how pathetic his form is, his body language his, his batting is, and just his presence on the field is, Darty will keep getting a reprieve, do lameass commercials, slap lawsuits against liquor barons, (well, at least he's acing at something), and bask in the glory of the fact that no one can touch him. Just look at the way he bowls: shoulders slumped, champion pub dart thrower, scowl plastered on his face, and, not to mention- drunken batting. He's been the major nail in our coffin, apart from IPL. That tourney will definitely become the undoing of our Test status in time to come. Just watch.
TheWall Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Bhajji will not be dropped. Spineless capt & selectors...

deepak_sach Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Bhajji,"Have I made it Large?" Dhoni,"McDowells No 1 soda".
wobblydoggy Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 No its bare...Please tell me who they are and what their test rankings are if any exist. I meant our cupboard is not bare, I am English
gaurav92 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Bhajji,"Have I made it Large?" Dhoni,"McDowells No 1 soda". Stop this shyte now, we have had enough of this from you.
