Bhajji is not a darter now. In the Irani Cup, he was flighting the ball and bowling a little slower through the air rather than flat. This is how he used to bowl when he was at his best. 400+ wickets shows how good he is.

It is all about being accurate whether slow or fast and vary according to the pitch. Spin bowling has changed. Bowling slow is not the only way to be effective, but mixing the pace with accuracy. Ajmal does the same. Panesar destroyed our batting same way.

Earlier his trajectory used to be flat and down leg side and basically defensive because of playing too much IPL. Now he seems like he has rectified it. Panesar still flighted the ball at that pace and bowled a good line and length in the test series which is what we want to see from Bhajji again.

He is still better than Fatwin' date=' who can't get any wicket nowdays.[/quote'] Yes , harbu is better than fatwin, i dont know , why fatwin thinks himself an oversmart by taking pause in his action. I think he should remember the 2 one by one sixers of Hafeez , hit him towards deep mid wicket. Its not a legal action to give a pause while bowling. :whack:

Harbhajan has been steady in the Ranji Trophy especially considering he bowled in pacer friendly conditions the majoritty of the games. No one is saying that he's had a spectacular Ranji but he didn't have a dismal season either. There are still areas of improvement : setting proper fields to optimtize extracting wickets, accuracy, and line. As well, a lot of his deliveries come onto the bat quite well and he needs to mix up it up either in flight/speed to have a floater delivery which stops on the batsman at times. Otherwise, it becomes too predictable for the batsmen.

Harbhajan definitely has the ability and is now back in form. After Ashwin is dropped Im sure Bhaji can lead India's spin attack and take India to victory. Im sure his Rhiti Sports influence should stop youngsters who would most likely fail from getting in the team before him, so that shouldn't be a problem. Great news for India that Bhaji is back in form, hasn't failed in a Ind-Aus home series yet, he's the star every time. :two_thumbs_up:

He is just not effective!!! Im not faulting him for not trying or his determination; but the guy is just past it. Our bowling arsenal is weak in all departments, but picking players like him on nostalgic values is simply detrimental. Ojha was definitely the better pick. There will be one or two domestic/practice/1st class games where Bhaji might do well if conditions really suit him, but please dont sacrifice a spot in the Indian team based on these one off miracles, Please.
