Unnoticed in all the hullabaloo surrounding Dravid's form, spin bowling in India is headed towards a crisis. With the King now resting his weary legs at home, his successor is finding the glare a bit too harsh. Bhajji is bowling with as much imagination as a bull in a red mist. Straight through seems to be his mantra with predictable lack of success.
What happened to all the guile and variations spinners are supposed to have in their armoury? Firangi spinners seem to be able to out bowl Bhajji with ease. It sure is galling to think that the likes of Swann, Krezja and Harris are bowling better than our very own Sardar who probably has more test wickets than all of them put together. Not a statement you would want to hear if you are the lead spinner of the Indian cricket team. Supposedly the land of spinners.
Oh New Zealand! What have you done?
