Why Munaf Patel was dropped ?

[thecricketer]

Missing this fast bowler from India's ODI line up. He is still one of the best fast bowlers in India, better than some trundlers in the Current squad. We can not afford to drop a bowler like him especially touring overseas. They why he was dropped from India's ODI squad after a successful World cup in 2011?

^ One good performance in ranji & a new thread. :headshake: Simple he is not good enough, terrible attitude guy has.

[The Realist]

Very limited player with a terrible attitude on the field and a level of athleticism that would make a snail blush. Also there have to be serious question marks about his date of birth as looks OLD. There are much better and younger players out there to build on.

[kruiser]

Munni, Nehra, Balaji, Dinda doing good in ranji.. Be ready for the sequel of "Back to the Future"!:haha:

[Yoda-esque]

The usual suspects will return

[skindia]

He is as good as ashwin as fielder

[Ghost Buster]

He is as good as ashwin as fielder

Nah, ashwin is far better than munni in outfield but slower in the present lineup. He is our best slip fielder in test team now especially against fast bowlers. I dont understand why dhoni keeps kohli has slip fielder for spinners, he isnt confident enough for the job.

This is the problem with pace attack in India when we resume discussion on Munnaji's performance AGAIN!

[MCcricket]

He started as a exciting fast bowler and then became a pathetic fastish spinner lol

Yup. He started off great and barely a year later became a self confessed trundler focusing on "line and length". I wonder who put this asinine idea in his head that he needs to cut down on pace to become a better bowler.

[Texan]

He is still a better option than Ishant "I am always unlucky" Sharma.

:hysterical:

[tweaker]

There are many exiting young fast bowlers who deserve to be in the pecking order ahead of Munaf.

He has very poor fitness and prone to injuries and he is very slow and lethargic on the field. Cant see him playing for India again.

[King Tendulkar]

He was a genuine fast bowler when started. Bowled 90mph. Blew england away with his pace But then his attitude and body stank. This meant he soon cut down on pace and become a simple line and length bowler. Tragic in the field and was like a 70 year olds body Had his uses and purely as a bowler was decent. But so unfit and lack of wheeels...

[carnish]

Munaf was dropped because he had an attitude problem ... Was lazy with poor fitness, No batting talent, no fielding potential and had no pace in his bowling which was one of his USPs early in his career alongwith the accuracy.
