Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

Yeh to haal hai team ka, Worldcup07 kiya **** jeetay gaye. I know its from a newpaper but I think there is atleast 50% truth.

**Shoaib seeks apology from Inzamam, Woolmer for insulting behaviour

**The sources also claim that unless Inzamam and Woolmer tender an apology in public, Shoaib is willing to pull out of Pakistan’s squad for the forthcoming World Cup in the West Indies.

Sources...sources...sources and our sports reporter. This stroy better be true, otherwise dawn is looking closely like a tabloid, which only likes to sensationalize stories.

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

well generally they are true and especially when there is a rift in Pakistani camp, I hate to say they are dead on right.

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

So, Shoaib is going to pull out of World Cup because of apology. OMG OMG !!

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

Well, I think Inzimam has become a dictator. I start hating this guy now. Who Shoaib is everyone knows really well, but Inzi is joining the club here.

UGLY PAKISTAN CRICKET POLITICS!!!

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

What am I missing here? How is that Inzi's fault?

If I were him, I would have shot Shoaib in the head. He openly puts his personal ego above the entire nation at the time when he's desperately needed and people start finding faults in Inzi.

acrobi123 · February 16, 2007, 6:57am

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

Inzi's fault is that he is keeping up with him and so is the board, Either kick him out or make him play just like another player in the team, Yeh Saas aur bahuu ka game kiyun khel rahey hain?

I think the matter or problem of Shoaib could have been solved better, If not solved then say bye-bye to him for good.

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

You really believe it's in Inzi's hands to tell Shoaib to leave? Only if. It's PCB's created mess and they can clean it. Unless Shoaib decides to be more mature and take it all in his hands. Only he has the ability to turn this around more than any other individual. But would he?! No, instead he demands an apology from the captain and coach, otherwise no representation for the country.

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

I usually pay a lot of interest in these masala stories (and to be honest, papers like Dawn etc broke the story of the dope case before the official news came out), but this story looks like genuine hogwash to me. Shoaib is in London for a knee examination and then he has a dope test to deal with. Forget this nonsense.

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

^^ well lets wait and see, time for the real truth is not far away. Dopey test on the 17th and soon the airhead will comeback from London.

^^ Dope Test, not that drama again. Why it is done in Malaysia?

The never ending story of Pak cricket

Threatens legal action against newspaper
Woolmer denies making racist remarks against Shoaib
Osman Samiuddin
February 16, 2007

Bob Woolmer, the Pakistan coach, has angrily denied reports that he racially insulted Shoaib Akhtar during the infamous heated altercation that took place between the two - and was broadcast to TV viewers - during Pakistan’s second Test victory at Port Elizabeth against South Africa recently.
Woolmer, responding to a report in a Karachi-based daily, Dawn, which alleged that he had called Shoaib ‘blacky’ during the argument, told Cricinfo, “I did not say any such thing to him. I have never and never will abuse any one racially as it is completely against my nature. There reports are absolutely rubbish.”
It might not be the end of the matter as Woolmer has said that he will consult his lawyers and consider legal action against the newspaper. The sports editor of the paper confirmed to Cricinfo that they are willing to stand by the article.
The story also claims, quoting undisclosed sources close to Shoaib, that the troubled fast bowler is seeking an apology from Inzamam-ul-Haq and Woolmer “after being reportedly abused by them during his brief stay on the ill-fated tour of South Africa.”
In case the apology isn’t forthcoming, Shoaib has threatened to take both to court, according to the report, for their ‘insulting behaviour’ during the Test and adds that the bowler is willing to pull out of Pakistan’s squad for the World Cup. Shoaib is currently in London, where he is seeking medical advice on a knee injury that jeopardizes his participation in the tournament which begins next month in the West Indies.

Like always reporters, sources, media and confusions. Blacky <===> Blondi. This story looks like a scene in “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly”

surveying some Civil War carnage]
Blondie: I’ve never seen so many men wasted so bad.
Blondie: Two hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. We’re gonna have to earn it.
Angel Eyes: When I’m paid, I always follow my job through. You know that.
Tuco: I like big fat men like you. When they fall they make more noise!

Looks as though its a slow ‘Learning’ wicketkeeper from Pakistan.

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

Hi dude. Do this. Tell me a better option who we could groom in 3 weeks before the World Cup arrives. If you can’t, quietly support Akmal through the end of the tournament. Shukria.

Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15

Yes dude - have I mentioned anything grooming another keeper just before the WC? No.
