That article and thread do not prove anything - No one in that thread claims Munaf as the next best thing.
The article actually doesn't prove anything except that the author is an idiot.
The author says "So, if you imagine Patel in the national squad, you would be looking at world's most formidable pace attack. And backed by the world's best batting line-up, the next world series could just be India's."
Now even with Akhter, Pakistan bowling isn't the best in the world, so how on Earth Indian bowling attack can become the World's most formidible with the inclusion of a pacer? Unless the pacer happens to be the best ever in the history, its not possible.So you aren't juts looking at the next best thing, you are looking at the best thing ever!!
As for me being an ignorant - why dont you show me the posts of Indians who claimed Balaji as their GOD.So far you have not backed up anything you have been saying in last 20 posts of yours.
"Once Balaji comes into Indian team, its bowling attack will become the best in world" this was claimed by Balaji's greatest admirer Choora. Now go and search for such posts urself.
Article minus the heading & first couple of sentenses was pretty reasonable. If the first few lines hurt you so much - just skip them and read the rest. Btw - Did you get a chance to read about the latest article about Iftikhar Rao who is the next Mcgrath.
Only an unreasonable man can defend such an unreasonable article.
AS for artcle on Ifti, the Author never called him the next Glen, all he said about Ifti's was "And it can't be a bad thing if your action is likened to the dominant fast-medium bowler of the last decade, Glenn McGrath" And that article was more about the upcomming Pak pacers rather just an individual, and few can deny that Pak still continue to produce quality pacers (just look at Pacers result at the recent U-19 WC).
