There arent too many people who impressed me as much as this guy has in only One Yr......If he does any Justice with his Abilities he has the Potential to be in Same League as Wasim and Imran......and i really really hope that he would get affected by all the Media Hype about him and keep his head.


But he sure is the Best Young player arounf for me.
woe .. woe .. woe..
it will be too early to count him in the same league AS wasim n Imran..
they r legends..
Irfan on the other hand has a lot to proof yet ...
plus. you cant compare a mideum fast bowler to a fast bowler like Wasim ..

I just find it so great that a 19 year old has now been put into the position of India's number one bowler (considering Harbhajan and Kumble are never definites for ODIs, its always one of them), and has adopted the position so well. Surely he feels the pressure, but he's handled it like a champion.

I hope he performs to his potential, because it'd be great for Indian cricket and great for himself. And right now I reckon that the opposition would rate him higher than Zaheer and Nehra, and that's saying something considering how much less experience he has.

Looking forward to many years of Aussie batsmen battling Pathan on the pitch.

Clarke V Pathan could be all the talk in 5 years.

I don't think I am ever going to be a Pathan fan at all, but he is definitely a class act, no doubt..
I was going to post something like that actually. For some reason, I dont much like him, but cant deny he's got plenty of potential as a world class schwinger.

I was a Pathan fan after I watched him play against Pakistan in SL. And I'm the guy who used to hate every player who ever played for India. :p

P.S: Used to.

Its quite possible you might put your words into action, so such thing is harmful!

Try Anger Management

..and yes I agree on the supression part, try clapping hard to get any frustration out or baby steps

May I ask why ???
Of course you may, but theres no particular reason. Maybe because at the time he was starting to attract some serious attention, Marto was doing so poorly (VB series)... I dont really know. I was bitter, ok. :p

..have u ever watched Frasier? its abt a Psychiatrist who is a radio host in Seatlle

Anyways, there was one episode where he is behind that mirror where he is seeing people rating his show, everyone gives their opinion except this Indian guy who says "I don't like him"..and everyone says "Why?', he says "I just don't like him"

19/20 people like him and Frasier gets all worked up as to why the guy said that...he is not happy, and cannot sleep at night. His brother, father, producer try and console him and don't really understand why Frasier is getting so worked up..and he's like "Why", What's it about me that he doesn't like, I want a reason"..its pretty funny after that, ends up burning the Indian fella's newstand

Your post kinda reminded of the same episode: "For some reason, I don't like him".. Why? :)

EDIT: Read your reply after this was posted, but thought it was interesting anyway

Thats OK. All of us get these mental blocks at times. But he really is a fine chap and very likeable. Disciplined, level headed, willing to listen to anyone , no star-like airs let alone tantrums, spirited but not in a nasty way. I think he is one Indian youngster all opposition has had good words for, both for his performance and his general demeanour.

He's a genuine all-rounder but I dunno why he is so low down in the batting order.
Because for some reason a lot of people are over-rating his batting abilities.

A genuine all rounder would get in the side if they were a batsman OR a bowler.

That's a good episode. Going off topic, Frasier's one of the best shows on TV.

:D

Just like Seinfeld, I'm going to miss it terribly.

But I'll keep watching the repeats on TV1 on Foxtel :cool:
