Harbhajan is a waste of space in the team. His good performances in recent times have come only on graveyard wickets. I see hardly any variety in his bowling or any great creativity. And worst of all, it still looks like he chucks. I don't quite understand Dhoni's fondness for him.
The guy has remained in the limelight in the recent times but only due to wrong reasons. And to deserve the *Padma Shri....*it is crazy.
This post deserves a second read.

Not really.
I have eaten my words before. But I am not backing down on this one.
Harbhajan is one guy you could say that permanently has luck on his side. Even aside from the fact - that he is really a chucker - he is nothing like the extraordinary spinner he is made out to be.
I would ask people to see his record in the past 3 years. Besides picking up a handful on a grave yard Kanpur wicket against the South Africans and a few other very sporadic performances he has hardly done much of note. But what he has done is called Symonds a 'monkey', slapped Sreesanth, got into a tiff with Greg Chappel earlier etc ---- which ensures that he is always in the mind of the public.
As of this game - I will only say this - well nothing succeeds like success. But believe you me - at least 3 of his 6 wickets were on half-volley deliveries. And O'Brien's wicket was due to a dubious decision.
:) I agree with you. India can do much better than him in the spin department.

well, his performances in ODI's an T-20 have been good, if not absolutely brilliant..
