Regarding Pathan, his one-day bowling record is actually pretty good.
It is better than Agarkar's in both one day and tests, both per match average as well as run-wicket average.
He's been in international cricket for barely 2 years - I think grooming him is a much better bet than sticking to Agarkar.

It looks like Pratik is using numbers to justify his exclusion, but he does not believe in numbers to justify his inclusion.
Two different criteria.

He's a 4th or 5th bowler at best, and that too occasionally.

Pratick .... i personal am not too fond of Agarkar myself ... but given the present situation he is what we got as far as mix of experience / talent / fitness is concerned .....
as far as number of matches we are wining ..... well it is not becuase Agarkar is playing ..... if he is replaced we are not going to start winning all of a sudden .... the team mangement is trying new faces .... they tried a few new faces in Bangladesh ...... they could not bother even the bangladesh batsmen .... do you think they can perform in England... the simple truth is we lost track in the last two years ..... after all we were performing well under Ganguly & had a decent record .... things went horribly wrong with Greg Chappel ...... Dont know who is to blame .... but things took turn for worst during his tenure .....
Quote:That I agree with.
