He does if he's not going to bowl or wicket-keep...Does a specialist batsmen bat at number 7?

If Pathan plays he will bowl at some stage.He's lost confidence in his bowling but if he gets it right at the WC he's still going to be an awkward customer.

But, as I said, his bowling of late doesn't justify any selection which has a bowling requirement. I'd bowl Ganguly and Tendulkar before Pathan at this stage really. Worth a go against Bangladesh though I guess, to see if he's miraculously found bowling form at the perfect time..

I'm sure Shahriar Nafees and Aftab Ahmed will cart him around...These two guys are decent players particulary Nafees.Don't underestimate Bangladesh.They could cause a upset in this WC and I wouldn't really be terribly surprised

Weren't you the one pushing for his selection a minute ago? And now you're saying Bangladesh will cart him around..
As for Aftab, he's seriously not that good.

I wasn't pushing for his selection or I didn't mean to.I just said if Pathan plays which he might not that he will get a bowl and might come good.I'm not really making a case for his selection or intending to.

That's quite likely at this point. Sehwag should come at 3 but I have a feeling they will put Uthappa there instead.

will be really surprised if that side isnt picked. maybe they will drop Pathan for Kaarthick if the former continues his poor form with the ball in the practice games.

Surely you mean necessary Mr DickinsonNo, but it might be neccessary.
True. I only care about who wins the games and which players actually perform!

Maybe by tournament end that may be the team, but surely Uthappa will get first crack, and Irfan depends on how he bowls in practice matches?

Pathan would only be given the opportunity if he plays well in the warm up matches, if no Uthappa is the rite man.
