Irfan Pathan!

[Bouncer]

O So i agree with you that some Indians forummers messages on this forum have been pretty funny/stupid . Some Indian forummers comments have been absurd on this forum but it is the same case with Pakistanis and some other forums.

Yeah i have seen this too i agree again, i think i know the reason for that i just realize it today when i was talking to this Pakistani kid Imranrbb/ somthing and when i added this I-indian guy in my MSN list to ask about anti ganguly thing that he has.......Now both these Kidas are 14 and 16 Yr old and its shows from their conversation when u talk to them....

I dont really blame these kids, coz i remember and i'm sure most of the people on this forum remember that when we were at that age, we would stood by what we believed was right, and we would argue to prove our points. but i'll be carefull when replying to them now.

I agree 100 %.

Now since we are reching some mutual opinion in this thread, why dont we just agree over one thing that will really bring us together in the spirit of the game " that Pakistan plays better cricket than India, eventhough the Pakistani people are not half as much as crazy about the game as their neighbours."

Agreed but i think India and Pak are evenly matched now with Shoiab Akhter in Pak team

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."

I guess you forgot to read the underlined part. The author is clearly making a hypothetical statement to get some attention.

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!!

All Your assumptions, Writer never said such a thing in his 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).

I am not defending the article, I am just telling you about your 'Holier than Thou' attitude. Look at the bragging by your pakistani brothers who think that he is the next Glen Mcgrath.

But that article made it more like an Ocean rather than just a water fountain.

That writer always comes up with stupid article, latest in the lines is "Baroda Bombers" ( thats how he like to refer to Zaheer and Pathan). But there are plenty of other good articles , it will be better to just avoid reading this writer's article.

Hahaha. Well I think that writer is doing a good job of ****ing our neighbours off. Even though I dont support such adjectives, these things are not new Kapil being called 'Haryana Hurricane' , Waqar - 'Burewala Xpress', shoiab - 'Rawalpindi xpress (all early in their careers).

I am not saying that the article is right, all I am saying is it happens everywhere in the world and our friends from across the border need to shed their 'Holiier than Thou' attitude, because when it comes to hyping things up they are equally good.

 

[Sanz]

As for your link on Nehra & Balaji , It's still one Indian out of 1 Billion.

shoiab - 'Rawalpindi xpress

I wonder why he is compared to that train. I recently came to know that though fastest it travels around 50 mph only. Shoiab on the other hand bowls around 95 mph. One thing that struck me was a Pakistani forummer sometime back ridiculing Indian trains as very slow and still run on coal when Indian trains run twice as fast as that Rawalpindi Express

 

[Neil Pickup]

Didn't the Rawalpinidi Express stop running like 30 years ago?

 

[V Reddy]

I recently read a article in which Shoiab said that doesn't want to be compared to Rawalpindi Express as he much faster than that. I also read about "Rawal Express" which travels between Lahore and Rawalpindi. I assume Rawal means Rawalpindi.

The Indian pace attack may look weak because some small-sized misfit is hailed as their best fast bowler, but Irfan Pathan is definitely one for the present, not just the near future. He doesn't bowl as slowly as a few have said, he's still better than the little 'great' one, but he does vary his pace well, and also his line and length. He can use the new ball to good effect and has been quite effective, but tries too hard. That's a problem with all Indian pacers- they try too hard, they try things beyond them at that stage. They will pick up pace with experience and training, but not at a given instant. If they were more patient, and stuck to line, length and swing, they would be effective bowlers, if not great ones.

Irfan Pathan is the kind of player the Indians will find quite useful, even without the ball. He can hit the ball hard as a batsman, which makes him a good pinch-hitter option, though he is quite a good batsman, given he's a bowler. He's also a good fielder- Nehra, take note. Good bowler, good batsman, good fielder, but he needs to cut out the sledging and the extra heroics. He should be the main bowler in the Indian team, not some useless little pretender. He has to get the new ball- he's not as effective if it's older.

[Swervy]

If Shoaib is the Rawalpindi Express...Martin Bicknell is the 815 from Keighley to Bradford ...or probably any train in the UK for that matter
