What happened to Munaf Patel?

[vandokkum]

This guy in my opinion is probably India's best Odi seamer now that Zaheer is well past it. I don't think Munaf has even played a match in years, or has he? He is clearly better than the likes of Ishant.

Please don't ask about Agarkar or Nehra next ? We need to try some young bowlers and you are thinking of Munah. Already pis**d of Ishant's bad form there

Bring back Praveen Kumar instead

Munaf is a lazy cricketer. His fielding is horrible, he bowls as slowly as he can and his skills are also average. I don't think it is a good idea to introduce s lazy non-trier in the team. There are many new hardworking bowlers who are decent skillwise.

Fair enough, but then Ashwin, Ishant, Sehwag etc should all be dropped as well.

I hope they are :pray:

[Cevno]

Munaf is injured for a while and his Int'l career should be over now. Last played in champions trophy. Uske jaise kaafi bowlers hain and he was a lazy cricketer.

[Crookbond]

No' date=' but he is trapped in a 53 year old body.[/quote'] Currently he's trapped between Bobby's legs. :--D

Last played in champions trophy, will be next seen in IPL. :giggle:

What ridiculously short memories people have i cant believe! For a decent period in ODI Munaf was our most consistent wicket to wicket bowler, and was key for winning us the WC, economical and tight overs! PK also was our best bowler in England which doesnt say a lot but gave 100%. These constant calls for new blood have led to the likes of Dinda and Awana playing for India. I would happily have had Manuf and PK playing today.

"Munaf is our best odi seamer." The sentence makes me weep :((

[Number]

Munaf's figures were good around that time. But his fitness and attitude was pissing everyone off. Performance was anyway going down, then in England ODIs he got injured while trying to stop a ball, took 5-6 months to get fit, not even in the Ranji teams now. So difficult to make a comeback in India team for him now.

But do you think likes of Dinda, Ishant are better?

[ExpressPace]

Munaaf Akram Lee is hard done by the selectors. Had he played today, England would have been wrapped up under 150.

Munaf is history. Agarkar can make a comeback, but not Munaf.
