It was a reversal of roles as Harbhajan Singh wielded the willow and Sourav Ganguly swung the ball to great effect in the English County Championship today.

Harbhajan Singh hammered a 95-ball 84 including 11 fours and three sixes to give the finishing touches to a dominating performance by Surrey who posted a mammoth 603 inside four sessions against Gloucestershire at the Bristol county ground.

The off-spinner shared two valuable partnerships of 76 and 68 with England players Martin Bicknell (76) for the eighth wicket and James Ormond (33) for the ninth respectively.
