Someone should tell Harbhajan Singh that if his aim is to convince the cricket world that he's truly moved on and learnt from the Slapgate incident, this is not the way to phrase it:
I've learnt a lot from whatever has happened in the last few months, and I can promise that I'll still play with a lot of passion.
I think what he meant to say was that "I've learn a lot from what
has happened...". His use of "whatever", though, implies he either
a) doesn't know what happened, or b) he doesn't care what happened. And if he
doesn't know and/or care, how the hell can he have learnt anything from it?
DS: Some mangled editing in the last sentence, I think. Check it out. Also, on HS: I think he means what you'd like him to say. He's just mangled the syntax (its a locution I recognize).

When Harbhajan says he has learnt his lession, deciphered it means
next time Sreesanth would be slapped behind the close door of the dressing room and not when camera is rolling.

I suppose it is just the ignorance of the language.. either way, no one cares about him... they are seriously looking beyond HS for a spinner with some of the younger dudes who have come in.

Yeah, thank Pac for Chawla. That youngun got game. By the way, i find it interesting that so many (assumed) Indians voted for Rahul and his forward defensive, but were nowhere to be seen or heard when he was getting ousted from the one day team. He's my boy, and i miss him.
