Yes, we in India keep harping about the lack of young talent in spin bowling, and yet we revert back to "spent forces" like Bhajji who is well past his prime. He was a good bowler long time back, but these days only his loud mouth is on overdrive, not his bowling. Drop Bhajji and invest in youth like Ashwin, Ojha, R.Jadeja, Harmeet Singh etc. History shows us - Maninder Singh, who was a decent spin bowler played his last test in 93. Selectors dropped him and invested in young Kumble, and see what he did against Eng in that series. We tend to be too harsh on youngsters like Ojha and Ashwin and too lenient towards oldies like BHajji

had it been ohja yesterday, we could have finished ausies by 250! Bhajji might take some tailenders in second innings but if he had talent he would have supported Ashwin yesterday. Its time to throw out bhajji!

Bhajji in last 15 tests took 3.6 wkts/ test. And Ashwin took 3.3 wkts in his worst 3 tests , out of total 13 tests. (Ignore Ashwin's best tests 65wk/10 tests) Draw your own conclusions!

Don't know what technology would make a wicket friendly to only one spinner?

i agree, very negative line of thinking of saving batting. Unfortunately, Dhoni's assumption that the big guns (Viru,Sehwag)will fail and that there is only partial chance of Dhoni, Kohli, Pujara succeeding means that batting has to be strengthened.
