Please shed your comm**unal attitude and please appreciate his talent. Bhajji is a class bowler, who is hardly given any respect just because he belongs to a particular community.

i dont believe he is a consistent bowler.any one check his recent records .Harbhajan has 216 test wickets from 44 home test matches and only 116 test wickets from 35 test matches played outside India. If we have to count out the 23 wickets he has taken in 7 test matches in the spin-friendly Sri Lankan wickets, the record is even more abysmal outside the subcontinent. He is yet to take a test match wicket in Pakistan after playing two test matches there.
His bowling averages in Australia and South Africa are 73 and 56 respectively which are far from being impressive. His strike rates in these two countries are 126 and 108 which signify that he has been required to bowl atleast 20 overs to guarantee him a test wicket in Australia and South Africa. He also averages 52.65 in test matches in which India have bowled first.. details as on 1/1/2010

harbhajan is a good support bowler - Great Support bowler. He CAN NEVER EVER EVER FILL the shoes of Kumble / Kapil Dev as the main strike bowler.
india was also 220 for 4 in nagpur test when steyn took 7 wickets in 22 balls so AVANCHE expert RAHUL DRAVID is needed at least in dressing room only if his doctor wife allows
There is some serious flaw in spotting talents and selecting cricketers. Otherwise how can you explain that in a country of more than one billion people, with more than several thousands of registered cricketer, with so much money and passion flowing into cricket, BCCI couldn't identify a single outstanding Cricketer in last few years after the emergence of MS Dhoni.

we didnt enjoy the luck before. and Luck only favors the brave and those who want to succeed.
if the batsmen and bowlers can be dropped due to their poor performance then why not the selectors, it is the only way to stop inclusion of non-deserving players into the INDIAN CRICKET TEAM. The performance of the selectors should be analyzed once after 3 series.
