Bhajji is a class spinner and no inferior to the class of Prasanna, Venkat or Shivlal Yadav. Srikkanth has failed by bringing players like Murali Vijay, Dinesh Karthik, Badrinath from Tamil Nadu. Ashwin can bowl well under sub contitent conditions. Even here bowlers like O Keefe, Sunil Narine used conditions much better than Ashwin recently. Bhajji will regain his place in no time

and bhajji was a flop in last WC apart from getting few crucial wickets in semi and final !!!!!
even in last WI tour even bishoo got more wickets than bhajji!!!!!
Sir Harbhajan Singh,you are acting as if you had a splendid series and were dropped! Surprised??? We would have been surprised if you were selected.You are asking the people on what the role of an off spinner is? the role of any bowler is to pick up wickets first and yes,he has to contain as well.On a professional level,these two qualities go hand in hand.If you cant do that,please step aside and let others play.And kindly dont show off your arrogance.No body would remember winning this stupid T20 tournament.
I wonder, if we feel that all players in Indian cricket can choose when they will be hanging their boots. I would ahve loved if this is the case for everyone of us working for our employers.
How many of us entertain the priviledge of being good for first few years of our carrier, and than ordinary and still see growth. The world has been competitive except for our cricket palyers, who feel that it is their BIRTHRIGHT to play till they retire.
Bhajji's performance has been poor, inconsistent and pathetic in recent times. He may have taken a 5-wicket haul, here and there, but surely he is not the same bowler any more. Even in challenger series, he got thrashed in his four overs yesterday.
He therefore should not be "hurt" or "surprised", as like anyone in this world, he has to perform to be in the limelight. He can not and SHOULD not be allowed to sit on his lauryls forever.
Now the question is, who is not Bhajji. The anser is, anyone who is there may be similarly ineffective, but no harm in trying rather than giving an out of form, and an out of will, Bhajji, to earn for his bread an butter.
