Is Irfan Pathan like Wasim Akram?

And mate, Gavaskar was such a mean player, never played for the team. I have watched him a lot, never convinced that he was really a team player. He always batted India to defeat.

And Sharja is also a neutral place, it not part of Pakistan soil. Have u ever studied geography.......well just get a map and it would do the job.

U can call Miandad anything, i won't mind, becoz u don't even know Imran Khan. U r such an ignorant person.

I have no idea if pathan is like akram because....I never saw Akram play before...but i know he is a legend....

i think irfan doesnot have the inswinging yorker  that wasim was well know for

Righto, Pathan is yet a kid with a lot of career ahead. He may develop from good to a great bowler, but one thing he would lack throughout his career is sheer pace, thats for sure. So no comparison with Wasim.

Wasim gave him some good tips specially about indipper and now you can clearly see him as a better bowler but I still think he need to work on his out swing its not that effective as Wasim's ones.

And balls mean cricket balls, nothing else

well shan i think u think ur self superior than others. i am quike familiar with cricket  but i didnot get what did sheer means. that doesnot mean i am a kid ..........................................

Exactly. His yorkers not only broke the stumps but also the batsmen's feet.

well i didnot feel i got offended coz was just wondering the way u right that sentence,. thats it nothing more.

i think pathan is a great young bowler but is still young, in time i think he will be one of the greatest all rounders to play the game

 

India is bent on making him an allrounder , but the load on fast bowlers has to be taken care of, adding batting load may effect his bowling!

Provided that India take some pressure off Pathan, he will break the record for most ODI wickets. He's young and really talented. He's already got 80+ ODI wickets at age 21.

Pathan has definitely got the potential to become like Wasim. Rarely has anybody achieved so much by the age of 21. He is one of the worlds most feeared bowlrs and also devloped into an excellent batemen - who if he kept improvong at this rate mite even make the side on batting alone in a year! (alhough I obviously think his bolwing is more important). I agree that he appears to have lost some pace but maybe thats because of the strain he put in on the lifeless pakistani pitches and the hectic recent schedule. Also he has the abiltity to become much faster than he is beacesue he just has to change his thumb grip to along the seam not across it.He is aware of this though and can change it whne he wants so that is not an issue. I beleive we will see hte best of him in the helpful windies conditions as he has been bowling in flat subcontinent conditons. I feel his battin is already at, probably past wasims levcel and his bowling has the potenntial to become as good as he wants because he is young and willing to learn. So watch out over the next few years for the HOTTEST PROPRTY IN WORLD CRICKET!!!!!!!!!

Where is saadadvanced? Long time no see.

Guess whoooo's baaaack? SAADADVANCED7!!!

Anyway, I'm sure that as a bowler Irfan cannot be like Wasim. He will never have as much pace as Wasim, as much control as Wasim, as much variety as Wasim! Wasim had, in my opinion the biggest variety of balls!
