Guatam Gambhir and Irfan Pathan?

The amount of times I've seen Yusuf fail with the bat would make me want to tear my hair out if I was an Indian fan. He's not a good enough bowler to be called an all rounder anyway, he may have been once but those days have gone. He reminds me of Jonathon Trott bowling. :D
 
Irfan's a pretty ordinary cricketer, not sure how he gets a game for India. Bowling has nowhere near the venom it used to and his batting is average to say the least. Surely there are better all-rounders/bowling all-rounders going around.
It seems, the venom is not important, to the opposition. What matters, is that he was extremely what India needed, when he took a hattrick, against Pakistan in a match, a 50 over ODI. He is a better batsman, like Kapil Dev was, but like Ashwin, he cannot bat at No. 8., and No. 7., is more useless for the team. He actually started batting at No. 8, as a batsman can, which is amazing.
