Harbhajan in the limelight: Not for his bowling

A player of passion, with talent to match, Harbhajan Singh is one of India's most successful off spin bowler. Bowling with a wind milling, whiplash action, remodeled after he was reported for throwing, he exercises great command over the ball, has the ability to vary his length and pace, and can turn it the other way too.

The recent much hyped controversy in the Sydney test match finally ended after an excruciating marathon trial in Adelaide which went for 5 hours. Judge John Hansen gave his decision in favour of the Indian. He said that the charges against him were unproven and that there was no evidence to support the allegations…the story ends.

But this incident has raised many questions. There is no element of doubt that the Aussies are sore losers and completely unsporting. And they keep proving us right over and over again. But does it end here, in my humble opinion this act of theirs was childish to the core and has put yet another black mark on their mentality.
The events at the Sydney Test Match also question Australians integrity in the game of cricket. To name a few …Clarke catch at the slips, Ponting’s catch at silly mid off. Is cricket still a gentlemen’s game or otherwise?

Anyhow the win at Perth was historic and a way of the Indians saying ‘In your face suckers’ and a win in Adelaide would have been the Cherry on the cake. One thing positive that has come out of this series is that we now know for sure that this Indian Test Team under the Jumbo(kumble for those who dont follow) with a little variations is here to stay.
