[asterix]

on a importance of 1-10 this match ranks as a 2 for me.

You are now competing with those sad Lankan fans in the stadium who were about to cry...

As an alrounder he is good. IN places like SA and Aus, we can even play 4 pacers including him and one spinner given the conditions and he can bat as well as any top order batsman.

[Executioner]

so far so good. Irfan can bat better than jadeja, yusuf and bowl better so y not have him in the team?

[jind]

Did well today and he knew the importance of today's knock..was pumped after hitting the winning runs. Pathan will be around for a while now

[Number]

Jaddu will be not missed.

[VRV Singh]

the road to doom has begun. we can kiss goodbye to any chance of winning any more world tournaments. :wall:

It seems like you hate literally every bowler in the history of Indian cricket. But reserve a special pounding for the guy who can actually hold a bat? :cantstop:

King Tendulkar must be so dissapointed...

Twice disappointed First ball duck from Rohit Match winning contribution by Irfan

[BERGKAMP]

this is like deja vu. does well in a meaningless match, secures his place for a few more series. brainwashes everyone into thinking he is the best thing since sliced bread. then will go back to getting smacked around and be dropped. and repeat.

Nobody over-rates Irfan. But you under-rate Irfan. That is the problem. Everyone is aware of his limitations. But overall he is going to win more matches for India than others.

Best thing since sliced bread :cantstop: I don't think anyone has said his bowling is anything more than ok But simple equation: Average bowler who bats well > Average bowler who doesn't I don't think the Pathan debates will get any more succinct that that.

[Vilander]

Irfan was all class in the interview. He kept saying gods grace instead of inshaalla..go fella :)

[jj_28]

great allround performance by irfan ,one thing he has is attitude and temperament .if he is given a long rope and backed he will be a permanent fixture in odis.

[maniac]

Needs to add consistency to those attributes... but yes,he is not a weak team bully...on his day can be good against any opposition

[Crookbond]

Irfan Pathan over 1500 runs and 150 wkts in ODIs: Among Indians only Kapil, Prabhakar & Tendulkar have achieve this all-round feat.
