i read this news on cricinfo in which gary kirsten noted that more than the complacency factor...fatigue is going to be the biggest challenge for team india in t20 world cup...
but my disagreement with gary is not on this statement but what he went ahead on stating that india will be playing with only two full time spinners in t20 world cup...
one i know he is talking about...pragyan ojha...
but harbhajan singh? full time spinner...? in t20 format...?
c'mon garry...after so much time you have spent with team india as a coach...i expected better assessment from you...
here are bowling performances of players in ipl 2009 so far...included in t20 world cup...for your reference...
click on image to enlarge...now decide for yourself...who is part time bowler...who is full time...
the bowlers with lessor skills are not afraid to flight the ball...getting more purchase from the same pitches...getting more drift...and more importantly wickets...but the bowler with more than 500 international wickets and 600 first class wickets...is reluctant of doing the basic things even an average spinner is doing even in t20 games...is bowling darts after darts...match after match...
why?
is he afraid...? is he more interested in protecting his so called 'the turbanator' image he has left long way behind...? does he even deserve to be there in t20 world cup squad...?
at least i don't think so...
ps:
was it me...or anyone else also noticed that in yesterday's match between mumbai indians and delhi daredevils...harbhajan appeared as if he was suffering from constipation...?
