SachDan Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 List of bowlers with 400 wickets and more.. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=wickets;qualmax2=800;qualmin1=300;qualmin2=400;qualval1=wickets;qualval2=wickets;template=results;type=bowling Last time when a poll was conducted for "the worst 300+ wicket club bowler", Harbhajan won it hands down. I don't think results will be any different this time around :--D
Pagalpanti Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Just a matter of time till you praise him in some thread when he wins India a match.
Cricketics Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 He is bowling in the era in which every lbw isn't given that easily. ALL THOSE bowlers from past used to pitch the deliery and ended up getting lbws easily. Bhajji would have easily had about 475+ wkts had he bowled more in 90s..
SachDan Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 haha what was the needs of this thread :fail: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=252903&highlight=worst :winky:

While I don't agree with the reason given for his success, I echo the overall sentiment of the poster. Worst 400+ wicket bowlers don't exist.

There are far more LBW's now for spinners.....Far more.
Midfielder Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Shows your pettiness to start a thread. There is no such thing as a bad 400 wicket bowler.
Fontaine Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Let's not begrudge him this accomplishment. Bhajj's picked up two wickets here and reached 400. Well done. Now it's up to him to really turn around his game. It would be great for the team if he did that.
Cricketics Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 There are far more LBW's now for spinners.....Far more. But still. Before umpires used to blindly give if it looked even a bit going in. Now not that easily.
SachDan Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 Shows your pettiness to start a thread. There is no such thing as a bad 400 wicket bowler. Read post #5. Thanks!
saneindian Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Ask any young bowler starting his test career if he would be happy to end his career with stats similar to what Bhajji has right now, I would bet every bowler would take that! 400 test wickets is a massive achievement. Lets not belittle that. In fact Bhajji could be one of the last bowlers to reach that milestone. Out of the current crop of bowlers, only Vettori and Steyn are likely to go past this landmark.
pensionplan Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Did 400 Test wicket club lose its lustre with Harbhajan and his darts reaching the milestone?
SachDan Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 Did 400 Test wicket club lose its lustre with Harbhajan and his darts reaching the milestone? I guess so :(
DeepFineLeg Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 You can't be all that bad if you take 25 * 5 wicket hauls.
Guest Gunner Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Today is a black day in cricketing history. One of the most undeserving people to reach 400 wickets.
