I was dejected when portrayed as villain of England tour: Harbhajan

It is not like they shunned him permanently. Without even going into stats you could tell his bowling became very impotent. He relied heavily on batsman's mistake.
how do you come with these gems... can you back this one up with some numbers?

Just curious - What type of numbers one can come up with in this scenario? I mean no cricket DB allows you to search on 'type of dismissal - batsman's fault or bowler's fault'.

vvs seems to have captured and recorded more parameters than the cricket DBs of the world could.

Akshay, You're being a little bit too harsh on VSS. As far as I can infer he opines - "Harbhajan didn't bowl enough attacking/wicket-taking deliveries but waited for the batsman to make a mistake". I kind of agree with him here. Harbhajan looked more towards containment of runs rather than flighting the ball and hence used to send down darts (wasn't he called darty, dart-bhajan here?). IMHO, he shouldn't play T20, ODI cricket. The moment he does that he switches off his "flight" mode to return to "dart" mode.

It's called "watching the game," something you do so little of clearly. :giggle: VVS is spot on, but hope to see Bhajji improve. Still our best t20 and odi spinner or thereabouts , test is open.

no place of darty in the side, he is still useless, unless he regularly bowls the doosra or flights the bowl, he will be useless, not a wicket taker at all in the one day scnario... though i hope he shamelessly chuck the ball like ajmal

Don't want to waste time for Bhajji of all the people. How many batsmen have recently beaten batsmen with guile, variation like Ajmalis is doing. He just darts the ball.

Still better than Ashwin
Ashwin flights the ball.. even though of late he bowls a lot of short stuff. In bhajji's case they are all darts which make him impotent. I guess Ashwin has to bowl outside power play overs for a while. Rightnow he is mainly used as a powerplay bowler. He needs another crack on Indian surfaces failing which we can consider guys like Rahul sharma before going to Bhajji.

Ashwin has not been able to keep down runs in ODIs nor take wickets in Tests. Generally, when a new bowler comes on the scene, he is more difficult to play. Ashwin hardly looks threatening. But yes, to your point,we need to give him an extended run and also try out others before getting back Harby.

Remind me again how sree would actually win a fight with bhaji and how slapgate was not represantive of his fighting qualities. I love it when you post your views on that:cantstop:

Very convinient of him to blame the media. When he was doing good, he was giving ten interviews a day to the extent that all the media hype was around him and the contribution of other bowlers like Ojha and Mishra, who bowled in the same matches, were over-shadowed. Now when he is in bad form, media are blaming him more. Bhajji cannot have it both ways. Live by the sword, etc etc
