Yea, well if he continues to perform like he is right now, he will become statistically another Wasim Akram with better batting stats.

So much pressure is being outg on him rite now with his bowling and his batting, he may crack if he is expected to bat in teh middle order and be the spearhead of the attack at only 21 with not much experience, they have to treat him very cautiously.

Irfan will keep on imporving his batting ability for next 3-4 years and become genuine batsman

Yeh, his defensive game isnt sound, but his batting is clever, plays shots aswell. But at the end of the day should focus his training on bowling, that is where he is needed forst.

Indeed, that is true, if he scores handy runs that is just awesome for India and more handy if he gets them when the Indian Batting line up doesnt fire, and doesnt score runs.
The runs he scores are a bonus, like that of Wasim Akram. I mean if the kid is getting 80's and 90's and other scires of note he is doing his national team a service.

yes truning Irfan into a usefull handy allrounder credit completely goes to the great Greg Chappell , coz he was the one who put beleif in Irfan that he has it in him to play well at the top

yeh kudos to that legen greg, i was going to mention him before. I do not thing Ganguly utilised him very well and didnt handle him as a player very well. He didnt instill the belief in Irfan that Greg has goven him.

Well, Pathan is being used a lot by Dravid (bowling). He bats well too. Maybe, that will become a bit too much for him eventually as he ages or maybe he will cope with it even better as he gets experienced.

thats right he will develop a lota as a bowler when he plays a lot more matches and then i think  he ,may likely be compared to wasim.

i have heard that he got his lessons sform wasim . is that true??????????????

It was good to see Pathan on fire. What an achievement. But Pakitan recovered well with a wonderful knot from Akmal, what a knot.

But Pathan lacks sheer pace, which was one of the major characteristics of Wasim's bowling early in his career. But as India does not have real speedsters with sheer pace, ever in their team, so Irfan would hopefully have a lot of oppertunities to play as their main stream bowler, and would retire with a lot of wonderful records under his belt. As far as variety is concernd, Pathan is capable of develpoing variety, in his bowling as the time elapses.

thats exactly what happened to Inzy of pakistan ,, pak didnt ever have a decent batsman at the top consistntly ,, so Inzy is ending his carrier with so many runs ,, coz every time he had to play [or as u said pllay] ,,

and the same thing applies when Inzy being compared to Sachin

Sachin was consistent for 90% of his carrier ,,,Inzy laked Consistency at of being at the top always

In your words but morphed

It was good to see Inzy of late on fire. What an achievement.

But Inzy lacks consistency throught carrier, which was one of the major characteristics of Sachins entire carrier career. But as Pakistan does not have real batsman with talent, ever in their team, so Inzy would hopefully have a lot of oppertunities to play as their main stream batsman, and would retire with a lot of wonderful records under his belt. As far as variety time is concernd, Inzy time is almost over ,, coz he will have to retire .

yeah i know the current form of Sachin, he has been a failure for too long now. Despite that u can give him a big hand. Big hand to little master.

What about Shahid Afridi, Krisdy, punishing indian attack like hell, they looked miserable when Afridi is on fire. Four sixes to Harbajan in a row, the poor soul. And Indians are way behind Pakistan, just see the records. So if u are always annoyed with Inzi or any other Pakistani player, it is quite undrestandable. Keep it up, but it wont help India a lot.

And if u still feel unsatisfied, just remember Salim Malik at Calcutta, when in last six overs Paksitan needed 66 to win and Malik ruined Indian bowlers, by leading Pakistan to victory.

And Javed Miandad, with a wonderful six, in Sharja Cup final. Still u may say. How does it feel mate?

And these guys i mentioned above were great players. Now dont say Gavaskar was better than Javed Miandad. Former always played for himself, the later always led the team to victory.

for me all that counts was the four world cup matches btn India and Pakistan ,,, every time in front of the world ,,,,,when everyone was watching ,,, India have insulted pakistan .

and yes all those were on neutral pitches and not at sharjha

moreover dont ever try to compare that stupid miandad with the great Sunil gavaskar ,,, minadad was nothing more that a street cricketer ,, he never had class , neither any records to show except for that last ball six
