There was little logic in sending Pathan back. That too on a most unacceptable ground of loss of form.There is no definitive way to define in form or out of form player. It is only our so called experts and media claim that one has regained form based on a single innings performance.There are plenty of referencs available that such claims often gone awry in the very next innings performance (poor) of the same player. I personally believe that our players are generally over rated compared to the benchmark standard of Australia. There are negligible few in the circuit who are more or less consistent in performance.While talking about the performance of our bowlers, can we name one who can consistently bowl 90 miles per hour or can make the ball swing or move eitherway or extract bounce even on lifeless pitch at ease. None.We never had. Success of our bowlers is always annexed with a note-condtions apply.If all favourable conditions exist chances of their worthwhile performance enhance.Similarly our batsmen require flat lifeless (bounceless) pitch and lesser mortals (bowlers)than those (Lee/Mcgrath/Shoaib/Bond)who can not hurl bowl at a pace of 90 miles per hour.
