Obviously you want the offspinner to bring the batsman forward when the pitch is bouncing and spinning.
It's not a new theory as they seem to be presenting it.

Neither do i think this pitch is spinning too much .

In Bish's defence he was saying that same thing as you. It was Dujon who first suggested the ball was doing too much.

Think Harby bowling slightly fuller a reasonable point as well. Invites the drive more, especially now we're into the lower-middle order.

Oooh, good ball from Ishant but not a convincing shot from Sammy. India will be batting within the hour.

Beauty. Full and some serious in-tail to the right hander.

Looking bad for the Windies. Chanders needs to put bat to ball quickly.

Interestingly, Windies have now batted for approximately the same number of overs that India did in their entire innings (59.3 vs 61.2), and yet they are still about a hundred runs behind.

Promising to see Ishant in the wickets. I'd far rather see him play Tests in England than Praveen. Cannot recall the last time a bowler at 76-77mph had prolonged success at Test level.

Yeah, the shorter Harbhajan bowls the more the ball will turn as the distance to travel will be greater.But at the same time it will be easier for the batsman to adjust as he will have more time ,large spin or not unless the pitch does something extra ordinary.

Also the more the spin and bounce from a fuller length the better it is for the bowler, as it gets tougher for the batsman to adjust.

What i found strange was that Dujon was going on about it as if he had discovered something new.:wacko:
