Spare a thought for lost generation

I am surprised by the reappearance of Irfan Pathan and Munaf Patel. I have been a huge fan of Pathan but you have to ask yourself if he has done enough to suggest he is on the path back. I am sure he would have been happier himself smashing the door down rather than hanging around and wondering if he should knock. So too with Munaf who must think that a place in the Indian team is as easy as becoming President of India. Maybe he is indeed fit, maybe he is indeed bowling well, maybe he is even bowling quick, but maybe the testing ground should have been elsewhere. And remember we are not talking about the likes of a Sourav Ganguly here, and even he had to wait longer. We are talking Munaf Patel; we don’t know enough and in fact, we don’t always like what we know.
