Pathan has come of age!

Irfan loses pace & forgets to swing because he has nothing of his own but all taught by Wasim Akram.Irfan should come up with his abilities (if he has any) rather than trying to copy a legend like Wasim Akram.Wasim Akram is his ideal and he tries to copy him in every aspect(these r his words,not mine).On the other hand,Zaheer Khan is an excellent bowler who has always been side-lined despite giving some excellent performances against good sides like Australia.Zaheer really has all the capability to go down into the books ofhistory as the best Indian fast bowler of all time.

This got to be joke really, at a time when IKP has just equalled world record, this guy claims that IKP doesn't have any ability!!!

Listen kiddo, before u criticize a player of the calibre of IKP have a close look at ur own teams pacers, half of those can only "throw" the balls and the other half are good enough to be qualified as "net bowlers" :p

Gee, he took a lot of wickets against Zimbabwe, he must be a star.

And what have the others done? Just Agarkar's 6/42 and Balaji's 9 wickets. He's done better than the other four, and the figures say so.What difference does it make? Obviously, McGrath and Pollock are head and shoulders above the rest, but he's as good as Ntini, Harmison and Jones (great?), and they're not too bad for their own teams. Besides, if the people in charge didn't keep shoving him around the way they have, he'd be one of the top pace bowlers in action today.
Zaheer as good as Ntini, Harmison and Jones? Haha, that's classic. Zaheer wouldn't be in the top 10 pacers in the world, or even particularly close, whether he's at his peak or not.

Thats not true mate because Zaheer at his peak is lot better than Jones,Harmison & Ntini.He has been inconsistent with his performance because of injury problems.

Setting a record against a club team is worth than against Zimbabwe.Irfan Pathan is a fake copy of Wasim Akram but Zaheer Khan is one bowler whom u should be proud of but India r spoiling instead of utilizing this fine pace bowler in a proper way.

What? Harmison maybe, but Ntini and Jones? That's like saying Tatenda Taibu is a better batsman than Adam Gilchrist.

Zaheer Khan is overrated, not that he's good but he's no where near IKP.

Waseem Akram feels proud when someone mentions about IKP to him coz atleast accross the border he has a successful desiple.To degrade such a great talent is insult to imagination, i remember Miandad degrading IKP only to eat back his own word.This is what IKP can do to you!!!

I know records against Zimb aren't that special, but the thing is that the guy has talent to go places and has already shown improvement.IKP is certainly the best thing after Kapil and Srinath.

Peak?? When did Zaheer ever peaked??

The guy is overrated and underachiever.

How are we spoiling Zaheer's chances can you please clarify?

THe guys is injury prone, the guy is lazy, has talent but reamains underachiever.

Indian cricket is better off without Zaheer, I prefer Irfan and Balaji over Zaheer, unless India plays with three pacers, only then should Zaheer be part of the team.

Kapil Dev is the only pace bowler in Indian history whom u can be proud of.
