Where did it go all wrong

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Injury.
Much more preference on batting than on bowling.
A remodeled bowing action.
Pace dropped.
Greg Chapelli

Nothing

Only Irfan Pathan went wrong

 

[Kirkut]

I won't blame much on Chappell here but he was not mentored properly. He was swinging it big in Pakistan 2006 albeit at a low pace but he even lost that, could have become our very own Terry Alderman.

Sunilz will now launch a post trying to establish beyond any doubt Pathan > Alan Davidson.

Or maybe T20 cricket killed him...

Ifran Pathan? Is that like Sturat Broad?

 

[cnerd123]

Pathan randomly being sent in at 3 in ODIs, and actually coming off to the point that he had an extended run batting there, is one of my favourite things ever.

Didn't he also bat high up the order in a few test matches? I thought he had a bit of a run up the order out here on one tour, but maybe that was the ODIs.

Haha yeah they sent him out as nightwatchman at #3 in Perth and he made 40 odd, to which they of course responded by making him open in Adelaide.

Greg Chapell drastically reduced his chances of escaping the wheel by trying to turn him into an all rounder.

Showing up to play pro cricket in Kenya couldn't have helped
