i prefer harbhajan over murali, cos he is more likely to take wkts in pressure situation. Murali bowls tighter, but then he hardly gets top men out in ODI's anymore. You could hv seen the recent Aus-SL series... Onlytime he got wkts, were when aussies tried to go after him in slog overs.
ahh so murali struggled to get top men out in ODIs.......so lets take a look at harbhajan's ODI record against australia.....
overs runs wickets best avg SR E/R
Australia 110.2 560 13 3/37 43.08 50.92 5.08
quite brilliant stats against a quality batting side arent they?brilliant bowling under pressure too......
but then maybe harbhajan wasnt bowling at his best in most of those games....so lets take a look at his record when he was....
overs runs wickets best avg SR E/R
2000-2001 IND v AUS 47 237 4 3/37 59.25 70.50 5.04
lets take a look at muralis record.....
overs runs wickets best avg SR E/R
Australia 208.2 853 33 4/27 25.85 37.88 4.09
its a baseless stupid argument really.....

and Harbjhajan is a current bowler isn't he ??
current world XI = based on current form! you keep bond out because hes been injured for a while, yet when harbhajan has been out for 6 months you put him ahead of a better bowler?
