If he had the capability, lol - So if he was capable of making 100 and he does then your right, but if he doesn't score 100 he wasn't capable of doing so.
Yeah, that's a strange one from Richard (which isn't a surprise). I find it hard for a man with over 30 test hundreds doesn't have the capability to make one.If he had the capability, lol - So if he was capable of making 100 and he does then your right, but if he doesn't score 100 he wasn't capable of doing so.
He was capable of making 100 in the first few tests, but for Harbajan.
The reason Ponting hasn't scored in the last few Tests (not exclusively confined to India either) has been because he hasn't batted very well. Is this due to Harbhajan's presence? Well, not really, no. You don't become as good as Ponting if the mere fact a certain bowler is playing plays overtly on your mind.If he had the capability, lol - So if he was capable of making 100 and he does then your right, but if he doesn't score 100 he wasn't capable of doing so.

Yeah, something like that.
Why? Can't one bowler perform better then another bowler, especially considering bowlers control every ball like you tend to say..
There are many, many better bowlers around than Harbhajan, though. It's not like he's given Ponting no chance on every one of his deliveries - it just happens to be Harbhajan he's got out to several times.
That happens very occasionally, it's called coincidence - sometimes, batsmen fall to certain bowlers a lot. Sometimes it's simply because they bowl at them a lot (Atherton and McGrath\Ambrose) and sometimes it's simply luck-of-the-draw.
And often enough, people read too much into it.
Man sometimes you say some unbelievable things..
Ganguly?
No, I don't.
I don't think Harbajhan is the worlds best bowler, but you make it seem like if Ponting had the choice he'd just as happily face Harbajhan as much as Sharma.
No, I don't.
But you seem to make-out like he'd prefer face Allan Donald or Curtley Ambrose than Harbhajan.
He'd be mad, then, TBH.
How can it be a coincidence when he has got him out (fogive me if my stats are out) 7 times, and five of those the first ball Ponting has faced to him. It's a series case of having a bunny if I've ever seen one and the worse definition for coincidence in the history of language.There are many, many better bowlers around than Harbhajan, though.

Someone can only be a bunny if they're actually being got out, though. Ponting isn't - he just keeps finding different ways to get out.
