It is totally unfair to send Irfan back to India. If beibg out of form is the reason for he being sent home, then Sehwag should also accompany Irfan. What are the scores of Sehwag in this series as well as in previous series? His batting display is poorer than the ones who are playing Ranji Trophy. He should also be sent back in next flight available to India.
irfan is very talented player and he was going through bad patch. still he got some chance to play b'cuz team management trusted his ability
Any player out of team, injured or out of form or team ind defeated ppl blame dravid. drvid made villian for other players badluck or failures.. dravid has no authority or he did not tell bcci to make him captain, or include or exclude any player, or appoint chappell as coach or
when team wins many cricket fans underestmates dravid's contributiosn. Congrets to dravid for winning historic test in cap of captain of ICC test team, castorl Award as the CRICKETER AND BEST BATSMAN OF THE YEAR 2005-06. dravid silenced his critics that he is best captain like kapildev, wadekar by winning test in aborad in Multan( without ganguly) and Test series in WI ( without ganguly ) and now in SA
Chappell and Darvid are winning the tests, which is very difficult to do and no Indian coach or captain had this kind of success in tests in SA.
Performance/statistics and award speaks for dravid that he is a professional committed classic cricketer , great servant of indi cricket, and considered one of legends of the game by int'l cricketing fraternity G
it is the insult of Pathan to send back, send jaffar, sehwag, dhoni back and bring S.Badrinath, J.P.Yadav, Vijay Bharadwaj. And drop jaffar,sehwag,kaif, dhoni, sachin from the side like ganguly who was dropped. the team are as under third test Ganguly (Captain) Laxman (vice captain Pathan Partiv Patel Robin Utappa Badrinath Vijay Bharadwaj SOdhi Pawar Piyush chawla Kumble AShish nehra Zaheer V.R.V. Singh J.P.Yadav Yuvraj the best team ever
i think this situation has come due to coach and captain who always encouraged patan batting skills rather than bowling skills and slowly he started concentrating more on batting and neglected bowling part.i suggest team management to use patan as a bowler and c patan concentrating on bowling part and comming to point i think it is right to send irfan back bcoz he will get chance to remember that he is a bowler.
and one more thing i want to tell chapel and respected captain is in INdia pilot is doing his work in same manner Barber,Gardner,Doctor,Police etc all are doing their works and in same manner bowler has to bowl and batsman has to bat and empire has to do empiring.
Absolutely right decision. He has no work in South Africa. Atleat he can play in Ranji Matches and try to regain his form because he is an asset when in form.
