was it right to send Irfan Pathan back?
by Kirit Shah on Jan 01, 2007 11:54 PM

There was nothing wrong as far as sending back Irfan Pathan, the Bowler ,from South Africa. But the Team Management made a crucial and probably fatal error.Indian bowling without Pathan was doing fine.Sreesanth, Zaheer and a fit Munaf were too good for SA. But Batsmen were struggling. Nobody was looking good to score too many runs. Here Irfan should have been used as a batsman, as he is used to such role. And he might have not only got some big score for himself, but probably would have helped other batsmen to regain some confidence. Unfortunately that chance is missed and situation messed up.Now it will be more difficult for Pathan to get back into rhythm.Presently we have no batting back up. Thats why some jokers are still playing arrogantly and getting away. Sadly, we indian people are somewhat responsible to place these individuals in a rank a shade below god.What impression we get on watching their performances is that Playing Cricket is their Part Time Job and appearing in TV Ads is their main business. God Help Them....and us...
