After the win against West Indies Harsha Bhogle asked Sunny what he thought about Ashwin's bowling and this is what he had to say. there was silence all around as the experts sat there, stunned.I think now is the time to come out in the open and go in with a 3 specialist spinners attack.Bhajji cannot stop Ashwin from usurping his place as the leading spinner in the side. He can play a strong supporting role and also compete with Ashwin for the spoils.
This bold strategy will help in crushing the Australians today and sowing the seeds of doubt in the minds of Pakistan, SA, NZ, England and SL.
Like Dhoni has said Ashwin will have to shoulder the high expectations that has suddenly been generated following this statement from the elder statesman of Indian cricket. I hope the team management listens to the wise old man and starts to see the big picture with or without Bhajji. Let Bhajji perform and prevail.

And his comment seems to make a lot of sense. In the powerplay he has been India's best bowler along with Zaheer. More importantly he has the knack of picking up the wickets. Against Australia his two wickets and his tight line and length were very useful. Add to that the 10-15 runs he saves in the field with his excellent fielding. Also he is a useful late order batsmen and can be handy if required.
Cheers!

I agree that it is high time for India for the so called 'spinners attack'. The bowling side so far has been very weak. Thought India has a strong batting line up, they lacked a great deal in bowling. I hope India decides wise enough to beat Aussies today.
Good Luck!
