Harbhajan took no wicket in 2 matches while Kumble took 3 in a match

In ODIs a bowler should concentrate in giving less runs than taking wickets.Even though Kumble took wickets,he conceded more runs.This may reason that Dravid preferred Harbhajan to Kumble.

As compared to Kumble Harbhajan has been performing well in One Day Internationals. That was the reason why Harbhajan was preferred to Kumble in the world cup matches against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

I totally with this fact that inspite he took 3 wickets against bermuda on his first match in this world cup he was once again thrown out of the team against srilanka. KUMBLE is not a big turner of the ball. He just concentrates on stump to stump line. thats why he tooks more wickets in lbw. Harbhajan is a good turner of the ball. Rahul belives more in harbhajan than Kumble because he thinks that kumble works as a medium pacer and india are having medium pacers like ganguly and sachin. so he doesnt believe on him. harbhajan turns the ball and and according to dravid chances are more for bhajji to take a wicket than kumble. Its all about faith. he doesnt believe on kumble.He has forgotten that kumble is the most wicket taker in ODI's for India.

Harbhajan gave only 30 runs against Bagladesh, while Kumble conceded 38 in the same number of overs against Bermuda. I think Dravid thought that he might give a century against Sri Lanka!

Even Harbhajan has not get any wickets his economy rate was less than Kumble...
Actually he is a match winner of turning some matches early in the past....
So he believes more on him..
The main weapon for Singh was his Doosra. Even he doesn't took any wickets he will give runs more than 45 in his alloted 45 overs.

Actually Dravid is an admirer of Kumble and did not want him to be humiliated as he had foreseen the result of the match against Lankans. And he did not need to be an astrologist to know that coz he knew what sort of team he was leading and what kind of captain he was.

Kumble's record on srilankans is very poor and that must be the reason.one factor we have to accept is but for Dravid Kumble will not be there in the world cup.
