Cue much enthusiastic cheering from King Tendulkar

Crapthan is awful and deep down you know it. Yet for some reason you always back players like Pathan and Kaif???:hmmm:

Pathan comfortably outbowls everyone in the first ODI and is tonked ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE in the second ODI and people want him dropped? There is no logic in that.

It isn't about backing or not backing. This is your problem. You cannot see a player and make a lifetime decision on him. Circumstances and recent performances dictate what should be done next. If Pathan turns out to be a failure, you would not have been right all this time to dogmatically assert that he is no good because no one has the knowledge to do that about someone of his caliber, where it is ambiguous whether he is international standard.

pathan so far is good with the ball he was a bit unlucky in the second odi in a couple of occasions

Pathan isn't that bad comparing to other seamers India having nowadays.(likes of kumar's and yadav.).pathan isn't crap as a bowler.there is a huge problem of expectations here.pathan isn't a all rounder.people have to realize that soon.when people expecting him to score 100s and win matches ir doesn't make sense.

Nobody is expecting Pathan to score 100s. The expectation is to get quick runs lower down the order and average in late 20s.

He is never the same Pathan we used to know.His pace has come down and his batting has also worsened.Swing is not effective if you are not that fast.

yeah bt he is a bowler.not num 7 batsman.he should bat at num 8 or 9 and concentrate more on his bowling.

Pathan should bat at 8 if we are playing 7 batsmen but in case we go with 6 batsmen, Pathan will bat 7.

Pathan should bat at 8 if we are playing 7 batsmen but in case we go with 6 batsmen' date=' Pathan will bat 7.[/quote'] bt he isn't good enough to bat at num 7.may be he had some batting successes here & there.bt that doesn't make him a all rounder.even malinga scored match winning 50 in Aus.bt no one asked him to bat at num 7 or not even 8.bcz he is a bowler.

People talk about which bowlers performed well? maybe none, but Pathan is veteran of international cricket, and comeback after comeback he has failed. Whilst the likes of Ashwin, Vinay, Yadav, Dinda are still early into their careers. If BCCI and selectors wanted a fast bowling all rounder then they could have gone for Bhubaneswar Kumar who WAS picked for India A and played in West Indies, whilst Irfan got a direct route to the national side, pathetic stuff from selectors.

Hmm, no. He is not the bowler now he was, which is sad, I know Pathan the bowler when he started his career and for a brief time the ODI allrounder under Chappell was excellent... if we can get THAT Pathan back it would be great... I also know that he was been ok if not spectacular since his return to the international fold and for that reason and given the balance he can potentially offer the side needs to be persisted with- all these are facts that you blindly ignore (as has been pointed out- no acknowledgement of a good outing last match) because he ate your pet Kittens...it is not so much the fact that you do not want him in the side for you it is a personal hatred and god forbid there be any logic or reasoning in your arguments-there never . One of the funniest things you say is how you called it ages ago that only shows what an incredibly poor judge you are because he was very good ages ago Kaif is a different matter, I backed him- as many observers with sound knowledge did a while ago when younger options were fewer and he was scoring big runs in domestic cricket. Kumble agrees with me btw.
