Actor banned for 5 years](http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/344698.html).

**Don’t worry he will back in the team and will be forgiven just like Pakistan politians. **

As soon as Busharaf goes new board will take over and it will end of Mr Ashraf. When the new board takes over ban will be lifted.

Why the hell are they after shoeb's life? Poor thing, gets banned for doing nothing at all now?? They should really preserve players like Shoeb who can cause shivers down the spines of opponents... Why is PCB hellbent on making pakistan team more weak when they need some strength...

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

Good thing we dont have major cricket teams coming to Pakistan, like Aussie and SA. They would have totally killed us.

he was dion poondi anyway:5:..

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

i hope this decision will stick; his presence on the team has plagued us for many years and he’s wasn’t worth the trouble. well done PCB for making a bold move.

his friendships with the opposition (particularly the indians) irritated the hell out of me and to be honest it seemed like he was more close with them than he was with his own countrymen.

good riddance to the traitor

pakistan zindabad :jhanda:

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

I hope Kaneria and sami get banned for good aswell

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

sad. I know who will be happy with this news though. Asif.

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

No wonder,, he was right ones, when he said that Australians would have given gim more respect than Pakistanis are giving to him.

just look at the Symonds and others cases and how Aussies just ignore them...

What if Junaid Zia had done this ????

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

what did he do.

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

I thought he was already banned.....so does double banning him negates the earlier ban and brings him in the team !

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

is he banned to not to get injured? :D

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

good riddance. pathetic guy was more in bed with the indian team than in field with his own team. is more interested in bollywood crap than to play for team pak and above all lacked any true commitment / determination to give his all for the team.this is a very good decision by PCB and they should do everything possible to keep him out of the team pak even after 5 years ban is over. the one option i can think of is to ship him off to gitmo for life.

Re: Breaking News: Shoiab Akhtar Banned for 5 Years !!

^ exactly. He was not a cricketer to begin with. Poondibaaz.

Lets move on and play with the new talent that we have got. We are not aiming to be No. 1 team in 12 months anyways. So let start with long term planning. Its a good start in first phase to dicipline the players. Now Younis, MoYo, Akmal and Malik needs to get their head straight. Play and perform, or goto lower catagory on renewal of the contract, or sacked in Akmal and Malik's case.

We need solid professionals who can deliver. Let the new blood come, two in every series. This will increase our bench strength. We have tremendous talent mashallah. Start believing in our national talent, instead of relying on some poondizbaaz super star.

Just to add one thing, this decision should have been taken when he hit Asif last year. All hot-headed 'stars' should be grounded as soon as they found guilty of some offense.
