All-round Worries

Irfan Pathan did bat well and bowled his heart out. But his deliveries definitely lacked the guile he is famous for. Pathan is still very much young and given the opportunity, he can be just the ideal all-rounder India has been looking for since the retirement of Kapil Dev. But, in any case, Team India fans need to remember that Kapil Devs are not born, nor made, at ten years' intervals. India should thank its lucky stars if it can make a Manoj Prabhakar, sans betting of course, out of the talent that Pathan is.
