I just said that IK Pathan's skills cannot be compared to Wasim's but at the end of his career, his acheivements will probably be compared with Wasim's.

why is it that the indian players are compared with all time greats, bhaje vs Murali, Pathan vs Wasim , sehwag vs Inzimam, yuvraj vs Ponting .........! they have just started to play and have a long way to go, there is no comparison of such kind and such stupid threads should just be ignored.......... |

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! |

I think this woould be the first time I will agree to krisdy . Pathan is scores away from Akram . He can try to be like him as he is his idol but can never actually be AKRAM. One can just follow ones idols and learn from then but cannot be them . Great personalities don't often have matches.

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!!!!!!!!!

So Pathan is like Akram
Wasim retired under the pressure of PCB but he could play and would get more wickets and its my view that even now if he come to ground he will still very difficult to play because he is the best bowler ever in history of cricket. I like Pathan he give me reflection of Wasim. |

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.

Irfan Pathan has potential to become another wasim Akram, but he should be used properly, I think he should bat at No.6, rarely should be sent earlier, Dhoni should be used as pinchhitter. He has already lost a bit of pace , let him concentrate on his bowling more!

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!

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

about about pathan that is correct saad. i think he can never have the pace wasim did. and i also dont think that he can swing the bowl as wasim did. and who can forget the yorkers of wasim. his yorkers are simply perfect. it is a killer for most of the batsmen

Exactly. Pathan will never have the pace of Wasim. He MIGHT even master reverse swing, and conventional swing, and all the swinging yorkers, and all that stuff, but he will never have the pace of Wasim. He is only 21 and bowls so slow, so obviously with age, he will either maintain this pace or get a bit slower. Edited by saadadvanced7 |

Its fast fast and fast kid. You know what Wasim was really quick in beginning of his career. Afterwards he made some adjustments but still he was quicker than Pathan. And believe me, his balls after hitting the pitch moved like bullets. I mean he might not be that fast in the air but was able to generate great pace from the pitch. |
