Just saw on GEO, Safraz Nawaz’s interview from the ground as he was there to observe Shoaib’s performance. According to him he seems fully fit and should be sent for the tour to South Africa :slight_smile:

Inzamam wants to keep him out untill the one day series starts.unbelievable!.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar is fit!

Re: Shoaib Akhtar is fit!

Looks like he went back to the Hakeem whose concoction has been doing wonders for him.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar is fit!

innjected his a$$ with some more drugs…thas why! :chai:

Re: Shoaib Akhtar is fit!

So Sarfraz does walk the talk. A few days ago he said that he would expose PCB's lies about Shoaib's lack of fitness and it looks as though Shoaib has been excluded for purely non-cricketing reasons. Someone's pathetic ego/pride came in the way of his selection......Lao kar lao gull

But then Akhtar has a longstanding attitude problem (not wearing sponsor's logo, doing things his own way etc.) and often courts controversy thru his off field antics. He's equally culpable for the fact that he's not in the team.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar is fit!

question is,,, what is it that shoaib is doing that makes him so unbearable for team or captain. i dont think inzi is such an unreasonable guy , shoaib's gotta be doing something to aggrevate the situation. things like refusing to wear sponsor's logo is not helping his situation. pakistan team does need him but at what cost ? he's gotta give up the attitude !

Re: Shoaib Akhtar is fit!

Shoaib may have attitude problems and other issues but he still is a key cog in Pakistan's pace attack. Let's make the best of him while he is still in the game as he isn't getting any younger.

Without him, Asif and Gul are the only other fixed bowlers we have. Rao, Iftikhar are so-so, Rana is impressive in ODIS but inconsistent in Tests, and Kaneria has been averageing very highly as of, well, forever, really. In any case, SA is a place for pace bowlers.

SA are going to come at us with Pollock, Ntini, Nel, Steyn and Morkel. With such bouncy pitches, and a fragile batting line-up missing Yousuf, the last thing needed was to leave our best bowler at home.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar is fit!

shoaib akhtar's attitude problems are a thing of the past .he has been performing consistenly for pakistan eversince the england series at home.if they are going after him because he has gained a few pounds then thats ridiclous...he won't be aksed to run a marathon in south africa.i think Wasim Bari and Inzamam should be more concerned about their own fitness or lack theirof since they are both fat than shoaib;s fitness whos perfectly alright.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar is fit!

lolz…:rotfl:
