Harbhajan Singh is nominated while Morne Morkel is not even mentioned. Tells us a bit about how India managed to become #1 in Tests in the first place.

[Stuge]

49 wickets in 13 tests, average and strike rate don't count :winky: When Swann with 45 wickets in 12 tests could be there why not Bhajji. :icflove:

Add 500+ runs @ 30 as well for his batting and add a few matchsaving/winning knocks along the way as well. :P Bhajji has played the most # of matches in the time so... And yeah the bowling s/r aren't that stellar for him either. I think it's probably a combined effort of the raw total bowling/batting that they've taken into account from the looks of it. Not the most ideal way. Won't make the next cut in the shortened list.

That's got to be a joke and should be under Page 2 on cricinfo

[Square Drive]

for his batting.. :hysterical::hysterical: :yay:

[nballa]

the problem with bhajji is he is so talented, and has atleast 10 variations - the doosra, the wrong one, the straighter one,the ulta, the teesra, the doosra etc he can use to befuddle and bedazzle the batsmen. having so many weapons at his disposal his mind cannot make up which one to use till the last step into the popping crease so understandably it becomes a full toss or a long hopper. the problem to his solutions lies not in the coach but a physiologist.

At the delivery stride the mind always pics the dart down the leg side variation which results in 4 byes in tests and 5 wides in LOIs.
