Oijha most beautiful and stylish spinner in world cricket


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Its a bit tough for me knock down one of my own type, but leftie spinners seem naturally slightly awkward to me. :dontknow:

^ 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.

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).

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.
