Gotta hand it to you: "If Only Marc"!!
That's amazing! If only Agarkar hadn't played pre '99 he'd have totally sucked
Too bad they don't really 'write history' huh?
If only you could....

It's just that none of your posts seem to reflect reality, unless it happens to be tailored to fit in your 'happy zone'.
As it turned out, Agarkar did get to the fastest fifty wickets.
When people come up with stats about the 'last four innings' and last two years five months etc. the immediate question is why not the last five innings or the last four years. Then you find that the reason is that if they considered the full period in question their pet theories don't work nearly as well.
I was just commenting on your tendency to talk about hypothetical situations all the time. Hence the humour topic

I am not a fan of Agarkar by any means as most of you know, but that is a ridiculous statement to say the least. The point is in his initial set of matches, he was highly successful and then his strike rate started going down. How can you discount the possibility that he would have started with a good success rate whichever year he starts his career? Or is there something about 1999 that is different from 1998 that would prevent that? Maybe, you have prepared his horoscope or something and know for sure that 1999 would have been a bad year for him to start his career. You sure sound like it anyway.

You people seem to forget that Ajit Agarkar is only 23 years old! He broke onto the scene at 19-20 years of age and got to the fastest 50 wickets. As Marc said he only "sucked" in 1999-2001 as he was battling career threatning injuries, which really affected his fitness and desire to succeed. The stats say everything, Agarkar is one of the most useful ODI bowlers India has ever had, his Test match figures arent so great, but Agarkar overall is a good player, a decent player and his bowling in the NatWest Trophy in England was good, he got his first wicket with his very first ball in 2 games. His bowling at the death along with Zaheer Khan was very good, as he has a good yorker.
Give him a fair go ladies and gentleman, he has John Wright's and Sourav Ganguly's confidence and that's what matters.

Now thats the stupidity of team management, Ajit has been dropped(from onedayer) coz of his POOR performance in test matches.If u ask me, Ajit shouldn't have been played in Test matches atall, especially when a player isn't performing well , its better not only for the team but also for the player to be dropped.Ajit played all test (when he shouldn't have been playing) and now isn't in onedayers (in which he can be usefull)
