    Flau, I have always maintained he is not as bad as you have made him out to be.

    In the current crop, I find Swann quite interesting. Is there anyone else who counters Harbhajan's claim to be the leading spinner?

    Of the offspinners I have seen in action I like Saqlain the best. After him I pretty much have to say Harbhajan would be the next one. Most of my reluctances about him are actually non-cricketing - embarassing on-field behavior etc.

    There is no doubt he is talented. But the problem was getting stuck with defensive lines, and coasting through with minimum performance. vechukittu vanjanai paNdrArungaradhu dhAn kuRRachAttE...

    Anyway, things are looking up now. Batting has reached awesome state and bowling is following suit. Hope he maintains the momentum. SA maRRum Australia-la Series Wins innum bAkki irukku kadamai...

    P.S: Where is he on the chuck-O-meter?

    Harbhajan Singh to McKay, 3 runs, 52.8 mph, the crowd goes wild after McKay punches the ball towards sweeper cover, that's because the bowler Harbhajan has to run all the way to the boundary to stop that one just within the rope

    Swann - the best thing about him is no mystery ball, doosra, teesra or the floater, zooter or whatever-it-is-that-Warne-used-to-call-his-stock-ball.

    He beats batsmen with length and line variations. That is the most likeable aspect about him. vAi konjam nILam - but being English, knows how to polish his words so doesnt get into trouble.

    I guess we (Hubbers others than Plum ) can suitably use these threads to discuss the the players anyway.

    MADDY, there's going to be no end if we start discussing moderation issues in the open.

    I responded to your PM.

    Maddy, show me one post which is close in spirit to the Mananvan Sombu thread virus attack:
    1. Mokkai blind appreciations
    2. inane chatter

    Or, show me a ridiculing post
    1. Criticism without foundation
    2. Blind attacks

    Even now I'd say he's a borderline chucker (own personal subjective impression based definition, not ICC angle-o-meter).
