“I will have to see him bowl on a good Test match wicket. Not this one. Till then, I will reserve my comments,” the 103-Test veteran was quoted as saying in The Indian Express.

Harbhajan, who averaged 38.90 per wicket outside of India but a far more impressive 28.76 on the spin-friendly wickets at home, intimated O’Keefe was simply the beneficiary of the rank turner prepared in Pune.

“You don’t need to flight the ball or anything,” he added.

“You just need to bowl fast and not give the batsmen room to either come down the track, or be able to manoeuvre the ball around.

“Bowling six deliveries in the same spot is all you need to get wickets on such tracks.”

Well to be fair his ire has not just been reserved for O'Keefe..

He even said that Ashwin has it very easy as he bowls on rank turners and that his own record would have been even better if he bowled on same pitches
 
So if ashwin and jadeja do it wah wah. If someone else do it then u start complaining?

Credit to australians for playing on these turners better then india
 
But but but India would beat Australia 4-0 :sree

Mate. Harbhajan bowled on the same pitches Ashwin does.

Arrogant bloke who was completely useless away from home wickets. Last bloke in a position to be casting stones.
 
Harbhajan is such an oxygen thief.

At least Sehwag as an ex-player has some wit and chutzpah.
 
Oh please stop.

This is embarrassing.

It was embarrassing when it came to Ash & Jaddu...it still is when it comes to O Keefe.

All it takes is google.

I remember him being pretty critical of the pitches when Saffers toured India. Then, people accused him of being jealous of Ashwin's success, now it's a case of sour grapes.

Poor Bhajji can't give an opinion without people thinking there is some ulterior motive. :harby
 
Fair and sensible. Unfortunately cricket fans just want to troll him for no reason.His 4-0 statement was also sensible. Paji Rocks :harby
 
All these comments coming from a chucker with mediocre records who got lucky not to get caught. And Indians complain that bangladesh fans r arrogant

What is the record of so called Indian great spinners like Kumble, dartbhajan and Bradman ashwin outside Asia?
 
AT least Kumble's record outside Asian improved as he went along- he ended up playing some really good matches in Oz and earnt a lot of respect as was always willing to learn, always improving his game and never, ever gave up even when conditions didn't suit him. He was a fighter and he found a way that worked eventually.

Harbajan on the other hand just sulked and looked like he never wanted to bowl out here.
