I have always maintained that the time was ripe for the transition of the mantle of captaincy from Ganguly to Dravid right through the last season. And today one of the immediate consequences (on the positive side) was there to see. Harbhajan Singh, that very able off-spinner was once more an attacking bowler in ODIs flighting the ball at times and willing to buy his wickets - he took 2 crucial scalps be it at a relatively higher price of 44 runs in 10 overs. Under Ganguly he had "deteriorated" into a defensive bowler who used to only hold down the runs in the middle overs.
Then of course, it will be interesting to see how Dravid uses him when India are fielding first cause that's where the problem has been on most occasions but I'm hopeful that he will allow Harbhajan the freedom to demonstrate his art.
