The Folly of Using Spin Against Pakistan

[Dhondy]

We saw what happened today. They love spin, just love it. Paceless, faceless, gormless Indiuan spinners running up and twirling their emaciated arms on benign wickets- it's just food and drink to this lot. They'll sweep, drive, loft them all day, and carve out monstrous partnerships like the one we saw today. Venom, pace movement, bounce...that's what we need to subdue this lot. In one innings today, Sreesanth has all but equalled Harbhajan's wicket tally for the entire series. He's made every batsman hop around with his pace on a track as flat as Nicole Kidman's breasts. He may have given away runs against Australia, but he took more wickets than anybody else in the matches that he figured in, against pretty decent players of pace. And we talk of dropping one of the seamers, who have just won us a series in England, to accomodate Bhajji? Don't make this mistake, India. It will be the last one you ever make.

Someone should just buy Harbhajan a truck and I'll sponsor his visa for the US.

Malik, Yousuf, Younis thrive on the spinners in the middle overs. Then you have people like Salman Butt who need pace to score. Really though, the first 3 I mentioned usually score most of the runs nowadays anyways.
