hi friends.just before the start of the first test,i heard some news that bhajji got 6 or 7 wickets in a county match and everybody said if he continues,he will be back in the side very soon.
just four days latter,a bad news if i was bhajji.
the spin duo of ashwin and ojha have taken 18 of the 20 wickets that fell.
now ashwin on home soil got 34 wickets in just 4 matches and the spin duo has shared 60 wickets in the last 4 home matches.
The figure are astounding.
the only consolation for bhaji would be that they taken wickets against west indies and new zealand.they may not be as effective against australia and england when they tour india.
the problem for bhajji is he is 32 years old.
every indian cricketer know the moment you reach 30,every match could be your farewell match.
if dropped again,making a comeback is very very tough.
and then even if he comes back,each delivery will scrutinised and comments will be passed without caring how insensitive it may sound.take the example of laxman.

I think Bhajji's chances of making it to the test side at this moment are bleak. The reason is his replacement as the off-spinner Ashwin is really doing a great job at this moment. Also his partnership with Ojha seems to be working well and that would mean that Bhajji would still be in the side lines for now.
Cheers!

Harbhajan is back in the site. Yet it is Bhuvanesh Kumar, Pragyan Ojha, Ravindra Jadeja and the most important of all, Ashwin are grabbing most of the wickets.

There are very less chances for Harbhajan to come back and play for India in the test matches. Unless Ashwin performs very badly he can't get the place in the team.
He is a very good player and I loved his performances but lack of consistency has cost him his place.

well i think it is very difficult to for Harbhajan Singh to come back in Indian team again because both Asvin And Ojha and are playing very well.and both are young they are the future of Indian team ,Harbhajan Sing's time are out now.he can play Only IPL matches , Harbhajan's Form is the main problem because he is not wicket taker bowler now.

I, like to see Harbhajan of Ganguly times, we was aggressive, athletic and of-course head of Indian spin department. But now we are in 2012, where Harbhajan clearly struggling with the basics, which ultimately resulted in is downfall.I have seen his performance in recent IPL5, he is too slow to catch-up competition with spin duo Ashwin and Ojya. I don't think he has got any chance to come-back in near future, but lets see T20 World Cup on its way, any thing can happen with quality player like Harbhajan Singh.

It is a difficult question to answer- much depends on how the spinners' combination of Ojha and Ashwin perform in the future. Maybe, if Harbhajan Singh performs well domestically, and the spin duo fail massively in an away series, Harbhajan might have a slim chance. However, with even some more spinners like Rahul Sharma waiting in wings, and even Amit Mishra, Harbhajan's chances are not so great.
