Bhajji knocking the doors of 300+ test wicket clubs!

Harbhajan singh is in the border of taking 300 test wickets. Yesterday as he wrapped up the top order of the Australians, he reached to 299 test wickets. He has been a good revolution since the tour of Australia in India where he on his own got India to the victory.

He came to Indian team way back in late 90s. But then it was the era of Anil Kumble. He grew under the shadow of Anil Kumble. But once he got the chance of unleashing himself to the world on his own in the Australian series in 2001, he utilized it to perfection.

He took 32 wickets in three tests demolishing the Australian hope to win a series in India once again. From then he never looked back. His off spin was compared with the likes of Saqlain Mustaq, the great Pakistani spinner who actually started the fashion of wrong one in off spin.

His varieties with some assistance from the pitch are hard nut for the batsman. Now at the age of 25, he has set up a wizard for himself. There has been up and downs in his career. He was tested several times in accusation of chucking. But he never let his moral go down.

His success in overseas may not be that much good looking, but when you look at the context of each game, he had hardly anything to do.Injuries also came by him. He has undergone one surgery during Pakistan series also. He has been under lot of criticism for his stuff both on the field and off the field.

Above all, one thing should be mentioned that he is a good person and very much down to earth. It will be a moment for him to cherish in the coming test match against Aussies, hopefully.

Live score card of 5th day 2nd Test Match between Australia and India!

This was such kind of day’s play where Aussies could not have expected to control the game except any wrong move by the Indians. But t their dismay, no such thing happened in the course of play on the fourth day. All through out the day, Indians were on top of Aussies except for a short patch. Australia basically lost the control of the game in the first and second day itself. They made it look even worse for them by applying defensive field for two Indian openers who are very much agile between the wickets. They clobbered the Aussie bowlers all around the park. Later when India came out to bowl, they were attacking from the word go. And results came out soon. Now Australia is on the verge of loosing the test match. For India, they would be looking to remove the remaining wickets as soon as possible and clinch the victory here. On the other hand, Australia would be looking for some miracle from any of the batsman. Specially, Clarke would be the main key if they have to save the test match form here on.
