Pathan-The scapegoat!!!
by soumya majumdar on Dec 26, 2006 02:07 PM   Permalink

Pathan the sultan of swing!!!Pathan the allrounder!!!Pathan the batting saviour for India!!!.....and now Pathan goes back to India!!! Its being tough on the player.He has played poorly offcourse but look at our expectations from him.We have asked a bowler to bat and save india...to bowl and save india...is he a 1 man army.Atleast he is the only one to score a century in SA in this series.What about Jaffer who is playing just because of a 200 scored ages ago.What about sehwag...even the bowlers make fun of his batting these days.Sehwag was supposed to be the test master but he has failed in both forms of the game and over a long period of time now.So why is it only pathan sent back.

I think it was a very bold move to take such a decision but then why only Pathan...there should have been Sehwag & Jaffer in the same bus.Probably sehwag would have back strongly like Ganguly as well...but for now i believe it was wrong to send him back alone!!!
