Is Harshal Patel the worst bowler to have represented India ?

[Sean Bradley]

Cant think of anyone else as bad as Harshal Patel representing India in the blues. Few come to mind like Joginder Sharma, Thiru Kumaran etc, but none were as bad as this Gentleman.

 

Jogi bhai still would get away with his heroics in 2007, but there seems to be no redemption for H Patel.

You are talking about India here! 

 

A nation with no fast bowling legacy, plenty of bowlers who were worse than Harshal have played for us, lol.

There was this IPL game at the Wankhede.

 

I had those box VIP seats for that one. Front row. He was fielding close to the boundary. The ball was going slowly towards the boundary.

 

I was in those box VIP seats for that game, in case I forgot to mention it. 

 

MUNAF PATEL didn't even bend down to stop the ball. He let it roll by. To the boundary. And gave a sheepish grin.

 

PS: IDK if I mentioned it, but I was in those VIP box seats for that game.

He is the worst fielder when people sit in VIP box seats in an IPL game.

 

But this thread is about bowling

Very harsh on Pankaj Singh, he was a domestic legend and his peak was wasted in domestic by selectors.

We are talking about performance in IND colors only.

Even Vinay K was a domestics legend.

Vinay kumar never had talents like Umran, Mohsin, Tyagi, Sen, Porel, Nagarkotti, Mavi waiting in the wings. 

 

He never kept experienced bowlers like Shami, Umesh Yadav, outside the playing XI. Harshals inclusion in unfathomable and beats all kinds of logic.

 

Untill and unless he's dieing and his last wish is to represent India, I don't see any reason for him being in the team. 

Even then i wouldn't take him in any Indian Side.
