Pathan leaves South Africa tour

[Sultan]

"India paceman Irfan Pathan has returned home from the tour of South Africa after struggling for form.

The 22-year-old left-arm seamer took only one wicket in three one-day games and was left out for the Test matches.

Indian cricket board officials said the management and chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar had asked Pathan to play domestic matches to regain confidence.

Pathan made an impressive start to his international career and has taken 91 Test and 114 one-day scalps since 2003."

Has he really lost it?

I saw it coming....people really went overboard with him. Dhoni may as well follow in his footsteps soon. "Next Sachin" indeed, cnuts.

I love Pathan. What a talent, if he doestn realize his potential it will be the biggest tragedy in Indian crickets recent past. Honestly it pisses me off because India truely need him, he can do whatever the feck and maybe become a decent bat and a decent bowl and make enough to earn him and his grandsons a decent living. But the team needs him more.
