do not preach what you cannot follow...

by straight point

before the wellington match...shastri interviewed bhajji...

the talk was about the role of being the senior bowler and how well he bowled in the previous curtailed odi in which he took 2 wickets in an over and how bamboozled nz batsmen looked against him...

this is the essence of what harbhajan said

i know i'm a senior bowler in the team and i'm enjoying the responsibility...i realised that if i give them pace to work with it's easier for batsmen to score against me...so i bowled slower in the air...got grip, turn and bounce...which was very pleasing...

now recall his bowling in last odi...specially his initial spell...

he did exactly the opposite of what he said in that interview...he came to bowl with preset defensive mind set at best...his average ball speed was around 95 kmph and he just shot the ball on the batsmen's pads...basically bowled dirt...and only when the lesser batsmen were at the crease did he flight the ball...

now that's for 'self acknowledging' senior and spearhead bowler...'enjoying' the responsibility...

when it's so obvious to him to say what he said in interview, what prevents him to practise what he preaches...?

or it's just that you want to sound 'intelligent' and say things you don't believe in....?

you decide...

When his mind saw a thick blade of wood descend upon it, it decided to go alight elsewhere for a while till t is safer before coming back to its roos again.

exactly SB...yo have only put it better...

i don't think he takes the responsibility of being the senior or spearhead bowler seriously...

he is more interested in coming with 'safe' bowling avg rather than looking or going for wickets...

bhajji has been given so much rope, he'll hang every single prospect with it.

he's part of the inner group that can do no wrong, has srt and msd's blessings, + very good entertainment on tour. what works for him is he's a character.
