So true.He must have heard MC-BC gaalis while playing in domestics and also would have got plenty of stick from Australians.If you are a softie who could get demoralized by somebody calling you a nickname, I don't think you will be able to play much at higher level of any international sport.

cowboysfan Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Pathan was a way better talent,he could have been a great all rounder for us if he was properly managed and not over exposed,sadly we are going the the same route with Pandya whose bowling is nowhere near as good as Pathan, Link to comment
Khota Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Pathan was not guided properly by the coaches. He should have stuck with bowling. This allrounder nonsense ruined him. Link to comment

beetle Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Don't know who the bullies were but bhajji is a chiken hearted bully. Rayadu almost made him cry and run back to the boundary when he tried his bullying with him. Someone should slap him next time Link to comment

wanted_desi Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 When Pathan started, he was being compared to Akram. Right now, Pandya is doing allright but the hype around Pathan was something else. Link to comment

All I said was he had talent. A hattrick is rare feat. He got them out defending the ball. Edited September 26, 2017 by Nonbeliever Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Pathan did not use his arm or extension fully. He had restricted motion. His batting technique was better than some of the regular batsman. He wasted his potential. Link to comment
Kerberos Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Irrespective of the fact whether bullying caused Irfan's downfall or not ,if true, it was a disgusting behaviour from senior. beetle 1 Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Irfan was genuinely crap anyone who followed old forum will know how I always called him crapthan his batting was over hyped joke . No idea why hyped . Same quality as jadeja . Bowling ok with new ball but no pace and genuinely crap with older ball in summary over hyped . Particularly his batting which was no better then bk Link to comment

That is my feeling about this article. You just hear about one incident and relate it to some random present player and make a story about it. This may have been correct but article makes a really poor case of it. Also attributing this to Pathan's fall from grace is some ridiculous causation. Pathan was a good talent and everyone recognized it and he was given more than enough chances to prove it. He just could not sustain his promise simple as that. Also ridiculous to state that in a team sport where players are likely to make fun of each other (juniors likely to face it more) this has now suddenly stopped. Who is to say that Kuldeep yadav does not get ribbed by Kohli or someone else now. I remember Dhawan getting super angry at Rahul who was an extra for not bringing a glove or something in time. OVerall just a very average bit of reporting just randomly making up narrative around minor facts. Link to comment

So over hyped That is very harsh he was decent bat for no 8 , the problem is he was expected to deliver more.That was the problem with Fab four Era they rarely had guts to play with five batsmen and have a team that could win consistently. Both both Ganguly and Laxman had to play, if Pathan was made to play as third/fourth seamer and India had three other full time seamers it would have different result for Pathan. Yes he was overhyped to some extent .Ishant Sharma who is still playing based on that Perth spell was hyped more. sandeep 1 Link to comment

He was an extremely skilful swing bowler and batsman Pathan didnt flop- he was a key part of the T20 world cup winning side, motm in one of Indias best ever away test wins...and for a while a world class ODI new ball bowler. Of course he didnt fulfill his potential but Unlike the contemporaries like Sree santh, RPS and Munaf who faded because they were nuts and lazy respectively Irfan never lacked heart or commitment Edited September 26, 2017 by Sooda Mariyam 1 Link to comment
