Turbanator glad

Indian off-break bowler Harbhajan Singh was thrilled at picking up his maiden five-wicket haul overseas on an unfriendly track for spinners.
The 21-year-old, playing his 25th match, also completed 100 wickets in Test cricket when he had West Indies centurion Wavell Hinds caught in the deep in Saturday's last session.
"I'm happy I got my first overseas five-wicket haul in the Caribbean," Harbhajan said after the second day's play in the deciding fifth Test. "It was a good effort but I could have done even better."
Harbhajan went for 138 runs for his five scalps as West Indies piled up 422 in the first innings after being sent in to bat by Indian captain Sourav Ganguly on a green wicket that played a lot easier than had been forecast.
"We won the toss but there was nothing much in the wicket, especially for spinners. I was just trying to bowl line and length," Harbhajan said. "That finally paid dividends."
Harbhajan had been preferred to leg-break bowler Anil Kumble for the second and third Tests, a decision that Ganguly described as one of the toughest he has made as captain, but the off-spinner failed to contribute.
Kumble, India's most successful current bowler with 319 wickets in 70 Tests, was brought back for the fourth Test in Antigua but had to return home after a rising ball from Mervyn Dillon fractured his jaw.
Harbhajan, nicknamed Turbanator after grabbing 32 Australian wickets to lead India to a stunning 2-1 home series win
last year, said he was confident India would do well in the Test despite struggling at 141 for four.
"It's a five-day game, you can't make any prediction after the second day," he said. "We just need one good partnership in the morning. I'm very confident we will get at least 350-400."
Left-hander Ganguly is at the crease on 22 with Vangipurappu Laxman on 27 and Harbhajan felt their partnership would flourish.
"Sourav and Laxman should have a good partnership in the morning. Ajay Ratra is playing well too, hopefully he'll get some runs," he said.
The Sikh from the northern state of Punjab, who has been in poor batting form in the series, said he was looking forward to contributing with the bat as well.
"I'm definitely due," Harbhajan said. "I'm practising hard in the nets and I want to make sure I get some runs in this match. I want to prove what I'm capable of doing to my critics, who have been saying that I can't bat."
He is also looking to have another crack at the West Indies batting line-up.
"I think this wicket is going to turn on the fourth day. If that happens, it will be good for me and consequently for the team as well."
