Yusuf Pathan has to go .......NOW!

[The Outsider]

If your number 7 batsman cannot pull off run a ball 15 over chases he has no business in the team - this is not T20.

[Rajiv]

I think his brother would have done better

[cowboysfan]

i agree.this was a situation tailor made for him.having yuvi sort of shielded him but now he is in the forefront.

[Guest gaurav_indian]

Kick RP and Ishant first. The problem is in bowling.

[Shehezaada]

hasn't done anything in a while but he's such a special talent. I'd stick with him for the next 2 games atleast.

[Cricketics]

Irfan Pathan is a very mature batsman then his brother. I don't know how he wasn't even included in probable list which is absolutely pathetic. A player of Irfan's caliber not even in probable list of 30 players

[SachDan]

Yes. It's high time he's shown the door. You can't be part of the team just coz you are a 'power hitter'.

[ViruRulez]

Yusuf should be kicked out .. even Irfan would have done a lot better.. for this series experiment with Nayar instead But I am also worried about our bowling Frankly speaking our whole batting seems to be in a mess now with our B-team. Previously we had batting depth upto no. 10 position in Zak but it was terrible to see even a no. 8 batsman like RP struggling to hold the bat properly

I wonder what is the ultimate ''feeling'' of those who support YP.

I think thats the only worry.

The bowling was bad and the captaincy was poor but thanks to Gambhir, Raina, and Dravid we were in a position to win the match with 15 overs to go when Pathan walked in and failed yet again.

[jusarrived]

I actually remember winning from much difficult situations & so i cant belive ~70 rns from last 10 with 5 wickets in hand , its YP and the long tail which is the problem clearly Get Nayar in for Pathan Amit Mishra in for RP & Shoot Harbajan

you must be crazy, seamers did okay, usual stuff, its our spinner that failed miserably.

I think likes of Rohit Sharma/ Karthik would have taken closer to the home, with sensible batting.

[Mr. Wicket]

Pathan is a very good power hitter, but I am not convinced by his ability to grind it out in tougher situations and build an innings. He's the kind of guy you want coming in at 8 or so if his other skills merit selection, but not a 7. India needs a more stable and reliable batsman, Abhishek Nayar should really be considered there.

[Jabu]

you must be crazy:finger:

[coffee_rules]

Pathan is a pipe dream for ODIs and Tests.. He is v good T20 player. That is it.

[The Realist]

Yeah I am afraid time is up on Y.Pathan. I was a fan but no more. He looks unconvincing at the crease and you always feel hes going to get out soon. Seems to lack the technique to able to play long innings on a consistent basis. Would be better to play a proper bowler or batsman in his place. His brother is a better bet in the short term but longer term India need to find a quality all rounder to fill the No.7 slot.

[Texy]

I wonder if a promotion given to YP to a higher batting slot will make any difference?
