So, in the end, just a 5-ODI match ban for Harbhajan Singh. The
maverick off-spinner must be overjoyed. Yes, overjoyed because he
managed to pull all the rights strings in the BCCI to ensure that he
escapes a more stringent punishment. The Indian cricket board probably
had no answers to the doosra bowled by Bhajji.

Which doosra? Sachin Tendulkar? Did Tendulkar turn the tables in
Harbhajan's favour? According to cricketlogic.blogspot.com, maybe.

It's no secret in the cricketing circles that Bhajji is indeed the
main guy in the Bombay Bomber's coterie (after Ajit Agarkar) since
quite some time now. It was thanks to Tendulkar that the Punjab lad
landed a lucrative contract with the Mumbai Indians despite his poor
form this season.

As the investigations in the now infamous Harbhajan-Sreesanth episode
began, rumours made the rounds at the Punjab Cricket Association that
the Master Blaster had personally called up a few influential people
in the Kings XI team management to make things easier for his IPL
teammate.

Whatever the truth, says cricketlogic.blogspot.com, it seems that BCCI
did wilt under pressure. Harbhajan can sit back and relax in his
Jalandhar home for now. Who would've wanted to tour Bangladesh in the
heat of June anyways!

Tendulkar's is a fool to support HS now.

So Sachin saved him in Australia and once again Sachin is said to have
saved him here.

I couldn't care less about this trivial soap opera story, but it is worth
noting there is only one Master Blaster and it ain't Tendulkar.
