Re: 5th ODI: Pakistan v South Africa on 29 Oct 2007 @ Lahore
yaar 1 match doesn't prove anything (he is a 1 match wonder anyways when it comes to comebacks :p). its the consistency thats required and shoaib is only consistent in breaking down or getting himself into troubles. tony is right in saying that shoaib puts himself ahead of the team and he needs to reassess his commitments and focus.
Yes his attitude could have been better over the years but there's no denying that he is a world-class bowler, a real match-winner, a real force and a real plus for any team. Only great players ever make such telling come-backs and this is not the first time that Akhtar has impressed on his come-back. He did this to SA in the second test in SA earlier this year and also against England in 2005
