Will be “huge bonus” if Harbhajan doesn’t play: Clarke

Chandigarh, September 28: Australia have great respect for Harbhajan Singh but it will be a “huge bonus” for the visitors in case he misses out in the first Test at Mohali in the wake of injury scare surrounding him, vice-captain Michael Clarke said today.

Clarke, however, he was confident that the Indian off-spinner will play at Mohali and they were preparing how to tackle him.

“I am very confident Harbhajan will play. I know how much he loves playing against Australia,” Clarke told reporters at a press conference here.

“But if doesn’t play, it would be a huge bonus for us. He has enjoyed quite a success against Australia,” he said.
