Harbhajan Singh Takes 400th Test Wicket

Harbhajan Singh
A Matter of couple of hours, Windsor Park wicket that is reminiscent of a typical West Indian one all along - to shine with the obvious - the peninsula was a typical bar for lunch. It was like the sun, rain and earth made way for Harbhajan Singh to reach his landmark here.

And turbanator, 13 years after he debuted 10 years after he solidified his place in the team, was only 11 requires 400 player in the history of Test cricket wickets. It was not easy on the scalp, which came when he was a well-Carlton Baugh set to miss the one that landed just outside off-stump and the log

Player pumped his fist in the air, let out a cry and stood on his teammates ran to congratulate him. The giant screen flashed their numbers and spread the crowd at Windsor Park, they are in India and the West Indies dressing gave the player a standing ovation.

Landmark has been waiting for a while. Since then, he landed in Jamaica for the first test match of this series - and seven missing 400 - Harbhajan and all eyes had been when he would get there. Critics scoffed when the ball is turning, dropped his shoulders when he struck down the tail Enders. Off-spinner it was not easy at all.

But he could not refuse for the moment, especially considering the fact that his 400-induced decrease in the scalp in the West Indies first innings when the hosts were bowled out two hundred and fourth

Medium-pacers have already ordered the game quite well on Wednesday and Thursday. Harbhajan to bowl quite a bit later, not only because the 400 approached, but also because of the risk of a new MS Dhoni slow over-rate and the prospect for a ban of one game. Harbhajan had work to do, and do it quickly.

Three hundred and ninety ninth wicket in his first test came when he was Windies captain Darren Sammy hit a short leg and a pillow. 400 Baugh threw open the defense, the ball NOK to slip in

Harbhajan bowl because it was free to attack a good Pacer Ishant Sharma, who took five wicket haul. Lanky bowler the batsmen duck and sway, and only when the glow was gone, that the Harbhajan took over.

Harbhajan was the 96th Hands on and to be fair in his assessment, he was not at his best so far. Although he may be the third highest wicket-holders in India after the tests Anil swimming (619) and Kapil Dev (434) Harbhajan has had its share of criticism from the match here.

To honor his case is now in its moment, he also became only the fourth ever to take 400 wickets spinner Muttiah Muralitharan for, Shane Warne and Anil bathing.
