Sri Lanka in India

Unless Pathan gets his favourite dangerous swing again, there is no place for him in teamXI. just becos he is a bowler, he can't blindly be included allowing to him bowl straight paceless deliveries to be smashed all over.... Infact Sachin & Sourav are better than Pathan with paceless bowling without any movement in it!

Just came to know about how much cricket u know . I really wonder have u played real cricket anytime other than cricket games.

U are the same person who was saying a few month earlier that ganguly is not needed in the team anymore and now u are praising him and i am sure after Pathan strikes back in form you will praise him only and invert your statement .

I agree with u gamer.I have said it so many times that people have short memory when it comes to cricket.One day they say this player is not required in the team,but when he plays well in the match then 'he is back in form'.

Firstly, its always better to understand before quoting and highlighting the statements!

I never praised Sachin nor Sourav nor criticised Pathan where u have quoted my statements! : Did i say, Pathan is a bad bowler.. Here is the decoded kid like version ,

Unless Pathan gets his favourite dangerous swing again, there is no place for him in teamXI.

He had to rectify his bowling problem which he is facing currently as it wud cost more if he delivers the ball without any swing or pace as its A BIG WORLD CUP! Without rectifying, he is not worth to be in XI which wud affect the team more!

Ofcourse for the same purpose, he has been sent from SA to regain his form.

just becos he is a bowler, he can't blindly be included allowing to him bowl straight paceless deliveries to be smashed all over....

This also meant indicating the harmness which India wud face if the problem of Pathan still remains.

Infact Sachin & Sourav are better than Pathan with paceless bowling without any movement in it!

I never never criticised Pathan here : Its like equation,

Sachin+Sourav > Pathan Last seen in ODIs( paceless without movement )

One can never deny that, if bowl without pace and movement, u are sure to be smashed! RP Singh had the similar problems infact!

Just came to know about how much cricket u know . I really wonder have u played real cricket anytime other than cricket games.

on a personal note,U dont bother about it! :cool:

Major thing u missed is,

Best thing we can do is, judge him whether he bowls well or not in warmup games and we cud decide accordingly!

This is the major solution India needed to do with Pathan to analyze his capability. They shd have done in this SL series but somehow they failed. So the warmup games shd be handy to conduct this experimentation.

Read the full statement i made it & never come to conclusion by taking one sentence from it which will change the context definitely!

aww .what a lecture .just like proffessors give in college . You made me sleepy now . Dont know why you did all this bla bla bla. but still u missed that you said that Ganguly is not needed in team when he was out of form .

I think Pathan's bowling would do more harm than good.

If we have to have Pathan, he has to be given the 'new ball'. He gets the best purchase when he takes the new ball as there is swing and movement with the new ball. If India decide on Pathan, then Agarkar or Munaf have to miss out. I think both spinners will play if 5 bowlers are taken.

I wouldn't keep Viru in the team either . . .

And like Zorax said, two wrongs don't make a right. And more importantly, ignoring the truth doesn't make it go away.

Uthappa plays well at No.3 too. So my ideal situation would be for Sachin and Saurav to open, and then have Uthappa at one down, Yuvraj at No.4, Dravid at No.5, Dhoni at NO.6, Karthik/Pathan at No.7 and then the bowlers. Sehwag has no place. If they decide to go in with just 4 bowlers, may be Sehwag can be included in place of Dinesh Karthik. But Uthappa HAS to be in the team. He is fielding very well too.

If you do well, you get 'praise'. May be Pathan is faster than Ganguly, but its Ganguly and Tendulkar who are bowling a lot more better these days than Pathan who is a specialist bowler.

VVS Laxman and Wasim Jaffer both are batting well in tests.Why arent they in the ODI team?

As for Sehwag, the reason he's still around is because he hasn't been batting badly--at least in test cricket--which is why the selectors think he has enough 'form' to get himself out of his slump in ODIs. I cannot say I agree with that viewpoint, though.

Seems like you didn't read my whole post in an effort to get your dramatic one-liner out.

Many apologies, sir; if I had known that we had an international cricketer having discussions with us on this forum, we would have changed our opinions but happily.

So what you are claiming is that Ganguly would have been in a purple patch the very period that he was dropped because he was out of form? Sadly we cannot go back in time to prove that you would have been wrong.
