kubrickian Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Kevin Pietersen is all set to get out to Ojha few more times in this series. Man this guy was like a deer caught in headlights against ojha. The thing was he was bowling all the balls somewhat similarly. But KP had wide range of reactions to each ball like they were grenades. +1. I dont think KP is anywhere close to reading Ojha. He looked completely clueless in both innings.
yoda Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Don't know about beautiful, he is a damn good spinner. I can't believe we pick guys like Chawla and Mishra ahead of him. He does have the bad habit of bowling several short pitched easy gimmes, but when he flights it, the ball is typically on the money.
Ahmed Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Still think Abdur Rehman is a better spinner than him. But Ojha might end up as a better spinner when both are retired.
rkt.india Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 +1. I dont think KP is anywhere close to reading Ojha. He looked completely clueless in both innings. what is there to read in OJha. He is just an orthodox spinner. KP does not how to play an orthodox left arm spinner. Just play straight with full face of the bat in the V.
ravishingravi Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 He is a chucker So much for classical action.
carnish Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Most beautiful and Stylish, Eh?? Lets See how he will be picked up for assault in the 1st Innings by the Brits tomorrow. Hope he doesnot embarras himself too much tomorrow. :eviltongue:
Clarke Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 The ball that got Prior out had very beautifully flight. However he is not most stylish or beautiful bowler among current spinners. That is Graeme Swann. Swanny any day !! I still think Swann is currently the most elegant and stylish spinner and more lethal. :two_thumbs_up:
Manny_Pacquiao Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Still think Abdur Rehman is a better spinner than him. . :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

Ram Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Its a bit tough for me knock down one of my own type, but leftie spinners seem naturally slightly awkward to me. :dontknow:
Clarke Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 ^ Vettori was awkward ? Other than the smooth action, a very good bowler before he was forced into captain+all rounder position and had shoulder surgery.
Ram Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 ^ Vettori was awkward ? Other than the smooth action' date=' a very good bowler before he was forced into captain+all rounder position and had shoulder surgery.[/quote'] Sure, you can pick and choose guys here and there who had smooth(er) actions, but as a generalization, I dont think left-arm spinners come to you mind first when you think 'free-flowing action'. Of course, the story is completely reversed when it comes to batting. The most free-flowing, eye-pleasing of 'em all, was a leftie (Lara).
ViruRulez Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I had always backed Ojha in the pre-Ashwin and Amit Mishra era too. I had always told that he was always sacked without any reason after brilliant performances just for the sake of the musical chair going on at that time. At first, he was dropped after brilliant performances just to accomodate Amit Mishra and Bhajji and then dropped to accommodate Bhajji and Ashwin. Good to see that he is finally given his due chances nowadays.
