Sensational debut, but little to follow

Hirwani probably lacked the killer instinct of a Kumble or a Warne. Read The Article

samir I think the people at indian cricket''s helm made a few mistakes in the 80''s and 90''s , when gavaskar was around kapil''s captaincy was not needed , and when the baton passed from vengsarkar to shirkant , the next in line should have been ravi shastri .
in my humble analysis if a wise man in the thick of india''s cricket affairs had askedthe question , " shastri captain banoge " instead of " Miya captain banoge " , the complexion of indian cricket would have changed alltogether ( Posted: Monday , March 17, 2008 at 12:43 )       
Julie It is not new to see spinners fade away within short period of time , like Arshad Ayub, V.Raju, Gopal Sharma , etc. As they all the miss the attacking instints. ( Posted: Thursday , March 13, 2008 at 15:04 )       
Pk It''s a pity Hirwani''s career ended the way it did.
He had so much promise. L. Siva and Maninder Singh also had similar careers - lots of early promise but an unfulfilled career in the end.
Today''s bowlers such as Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, Zahir Khan etc got dropped from the team but they all came back after taking requisite help.
In those days, had there been a support system in place to help bowlers like these, their careers would have turned out differently. ( Posted: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 at 02:26 )
