“I will have to see O'Keefe bowl on a good Test match wicket" : Harbhajan Singh

“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

 

[Major]

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

 

[Syed1]

But but but India would beat Australia 4-0

[Zohaib Shah]

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.

True I love his tweets regardless

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Oh please stop.

This is embarrassing.

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

[Smbhayi]

so he learn one more Aus player name!

 

[honeybadger]

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. rby

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bhajji should concentrate on MTV Roadies and leave this trash talking for someone else.

 

[Pollack]

Fair and sensible. Unfortunately cricket fans just want to troll him for no reason.His 4-0 statement was also sensible. Paji Rocks rby

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Meh, He even said that about Ash and Jads too, so....

simply jealous that he is knocked out by those two completely... Should look down and enjoy the big fat IPL paycheque and forget about his comeback..

 

[Belawal2014]

To Bhajji:

 

[Mamoon]

Chucker talks too much.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Looks like India also has an ex-player verbal diarrhea epidemic.

 

[Messiah]

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

 

[soso_killer]

LOL, nothing pitch and nothing bowlers he said.
This guy is the boss.....

 

[vandokkum]

What is the record of so called Indian great spinners like Kumble, dartbhajan and Bradman ashwin outside Asia?

 

[wrongun]

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.
