I would say both tecnically and physically, Martin much more looks like to Xavi. Martin can both defend and have some tecnical skills, which isn't the case of Cabaye...
Come on, man. That's just wrong.
Have you just ever seen Cabaye dribbling someone ? Just answer please...
Technical skills isn´t just dribbling though. Cabaye is a very technical player. I don´t know how much you have seen of him for us, but he has shown that he has a good first touch, controls the ball well, great technique when striking the ball and delivering corners. I agree with you that the Xavi comparison is greatly exaggerated though.
