I am sure those who had watched his batting today will definitely FOTFL (fall on the floor laughing) on reading this news. He batted as if he played with a hockey stick and nicked most of the deliveries. But for one or two clean hits, he never looked like crossing the double digit mark. His statement of missing on century is more than an over-statement. As Ravi Shastri rightly pointed, he tried his best to get out but unfortunately the edges fell short of fielders. People who missed on the match would think that he played a crucial knock to pull back the game for India which is not the case actually. Definitely his 60 provides a cushion for India but it’s not a deliberate attempt as he proclaims. Its high-time better he stops his non-sense talking and provides consistent performance with his bowling (I seriously doubt whether he can do it given his limited capacity. He is definitely an over-rated bowler)

Good one.In fact one of my colleague was saying that Bajji scored 60 odd and played a sensible good helping knock.: -)
I don't entirely agree to your view. Bhajji was not expected to bat anyways. He is a bowler who can slog a bit. Sometimes it works many times it fails. But what was encouraging to see from him is his attitude. When a guy like yuvaraj who is selected as a batsmen in playing 11 failed to even get a convincing edge, the way bhajji came out and thwarted everything with his mosquito bat was amazing. In this context even the 150 by rossco at Napier wasn't highly convincing and edgy but was effective. Newzeas wudnt complain abt it would they?
Rex,
Being a bowler, I never expect bhajji to bat and turn around things. The blog is all about his statement of missing on century inspite of his pathetic batting display.
Coming to yuvraj's case, its a bigger argument which we will discuss in another blog.
