NO

There is murali kartik but he was "dropped" after taking 6/27 against australia

There is piyush chawla and Amit Mishra(too inconsistent and inexperienced) and ofcourse the whale ( Ramesh Powar)
A couple of months ago i Often read the name of Iqbal Abdulla, but I guess he has fell off the radar.

but quality spinner doesnot only do a fair job...he run through a side completely on his own..i cant imagine HARBHAJAN doing it off late

Not too many spinners in the WORLD can do that.
Can you think of a "good" young spinners in the world? Vettori, Monty, Bhajji,Kaneria are all average bowlers.

i totally agree... Harbhajan first of all is only good for ODI... actually good is 'good' word, how about average..i know we indian fans after this ODI series will make Bhajji a hero and again place him in the Test team... Bhajji at his best is only average in ODIs...Kartick is much better spinner than him...

a decent spinner in ODI' but he has serioulsy gone 5h1t in the last couple of years. India's test future looks bleak with the super 4 looking dead in the water and no young quality spinner coming through

Well it will be up to the seamer's to provide us with wins overseas and at home if Bhajji fails to secure his spot.

Kaneria is in no way, shape, or form an average bowler.

We look forward to abusing Harby mercilessly. :D

Good on him, he is bowling well lately. But I agree with the OP, please drop him for the sake of the Aussie captain who would really like to score some runs sometime in India. :))
