Once again the indian tail showed its utility , you know sometimes looking at zaheer you can just see a better batsman in him someone like anil , bhajji though is in a different league , well he tried everything to get out and eventually did get out but not before he added a more than useful 60, whats it with him and sixties??

I love watching him bat, always entertaing and you dont know what to expect. He scored in his usual unorthodox fashion. He has played many good innings in the past year and i think he has scored 5-6 fifties and most of them have come when the team needed it the most which is great. hope to see him bowl well when he gets the ball in his hands.

lol he must be having a 60's jinx like tendulkar had a 90's jinx a couple of years ago. bhajji sometimes gets out to stupid shots after playing really well... i remember this from Adelaide last year against Australia, where he played very good cricket shots until the ball he got out... maybe he thinks 2 much abt crossing the 60's.

Right. Bhajji is one man on some occasions to really comes to the party and rescues the team which is in troubled waters. He can do this both with the bat as well as with the bat. He first showed as to he is when he bowled a superb spell against the Aussies, which is still fresh in our minds. And after that there was no looking back for the Sardar. He rightly said after the match that he deserved a century. I don't feel there is anything big to be seen in these comments. He thoroughly deserves it.

Although harbhajan singh has the ability to score runs one must not forget he is not a genuine batsman. He has an unorthodox technique that works for him. He plays the way he knows how to everytime but when luck favours him and its his day he makes sure he makes the most out of it. Although, harbhajan would himself be disappointed how he got out he has played a good hand and all the extra runs scored by the tailenders harbhajan, zaheer, ishant sharma and munaf patel could well decide india's fortune in the test match.

It doesn't matter wether Bhajji plays unorthodox shots with his bat or plays like a genuine batsmam. What matters is the way he has scored and has taken India to a respectable score. When the top order batsmen like Yuvi, laxman & Gambhir were unable to score and India kept on losing wickets, Harbhajan's 60 matters a lot. His way of holding bat may seem absurd to many but the way he has batted and improved his batting skills in the last couple of years deserves a standing ovation. We should expect more from Bhajji to bat like a especialist batsman.
