When South Africa captain Graeme Smith said that Paul Harris controlled the game for his side better than India's star spinner Harbhajan Singh, it told the true story.

It established that the South Africans had Harbhajan all figured out.

"If you compare him (Harris) to Harbhajan, I think the way he controlled the game for us was brilliant," Smith told reporters after the hosts' comprehensive victory yesterday.

Since the onset of 2010, Harbhajan has claimed just 37 wickets in 11 Tests, at a steep average of 45.

Poor form
In overseas Tests this year, Harbhajan has just sixu00a0 wickets from four Tests, at an unacceptable 99 runs per scalp.

It's no secret that the turbanator is being undeservingly carried along in India's playing XI.
