VVS Laxman is spot on

VVS Laxman in his chat with Harsha Bhogle has expressed about the dearth in Spin bowling department in India. He is spot on and hit the bullet right at the centre like the way he times his wrist flicks.

Harbajan appears to look jaded with the overload and time is catching up with the offie.Amit Mishra and P.Ojha look good only in patches.Murali Karthick is more or less finished thanks to the selectors whimsical ways and Piyush Chwala once thought out to be the ideal replacement for the Great Anil Kumble did not do justice to his potentials.So as VVS expressed, this is a worrying aspect for Indian Cricket.Spin was our strength right from the Bedi,Chandra,Prasanna,venkat era till the Anil Kumble era and the so called home advantage that the team enjoyed seems to have been faded.
The only heartening thing is the quality of pacers spearheaded by Zaheer who have won matches of late.There is a danger with too much of cricket with IPL,ODI"s,CLT20,T20 etc is going to make life difficult for the pacers and one clear case in point is that of Ishant Sharma who showed lots of promise in 2008 against Australia and was looking threatening but over the last year or so appears to have been hit by the overkill and was even dropped recently.So BCCI neds to really think of doing some thing serious about the spin department rather than focusing on maing more money through hurriedly arranged tournaments be it T20 or ODI.
