Harbhajan needs to go

For sure it wont be the case in the remainder of the series that Harbhajan Singh would be dropped, but he makes a strong case to be dropped.  It’s a long time he was dropped from the team for incompetence, but this is the right time for him to know that he cannot go on and on for long time without actually having wickets under his name.  Ditto goes for Pragyan Ojha.  He bowls with lot of “character” and guile in T20s but the same goes for a toss in the Tests and ODIs he plays.

9 wickets in 6 ODIs this year, no wicket in World T20 and 12 wickets in 4 Tests this year with 1 5-for are sorry figures that make sorrier reading.  He has had an average of 61.5 vs Bangladesh and no average against SL this Test.

ODI figures make even poor picture. 1 wicket against BD, 2 against Pak and 3 against SL.  Economy of 4.8 runs an over and 29 runs for every wicket.

It’s a very rare thing in days of MSD’s captaincy to drop Harbhajan, whereas the previous 3 captains did no favors to the man when he was not in the best of the form.  Perhaps he’s got complacent that his place in the team is for granted. Time for somebody to shed off that cobweb and clutter in his mind.

But the question is who are the replacements?  Amit Mishra  ? R Ashvin ?

Spin bowling scene is scarier than  the fast bowling concerns.
