I think it would not be right to not send Irfan Pathan to the World Cup even if he is not fit enough to bowl, becuase anybody who has seen his batting could very well know that he is a classy batsman as well. I think he would be a best fit for good batsman's slot and may even bowl well if his spirits were high. Instead of roping in new batsmen for the openining slots, the selectors should have considered Pathan as an option, as there was already competition for the bowling positions. Anyway, "gold is gold it is put on the head or wasted by throwing into the mud." I pray for this classy player with a temperment that even the senior players like Dravid have to learn some.
