Re: A Case for Shoaib Akhter
Admit it kids, Pakistan is nothing without Shoaib Akhtar.
We defeated an out of form, second class Indian team, but we can't beat anybody else with Halwa bowlers.
Shoaib is the nucleus of the Pakistani team, and they will get no where without him.
Look at his performance against the Australians and compare it with any fast bowler in the world, Shoaib is head above everyone else (besides Shane Bond)
His fitness problem is just like any other fast bowler, take a look at other express fast bowlers in world today.
Brett Lee was out for 10 months due to injury.
Shane Bond has been injured on and off through out his whole career.
Jermaine Lawson, and Fidel Edwards have been injured as well.
He is 100% committed on the field, his tireless bowling in Australia is a true example of that. He only seemed non committed with defeat was certain.
