There is no benefit of taking Shoaib with the team as he can’t even play a single test completely fit.I think due to his bad deeds Allah’s curse(laanat)is upon him and he can’t play even he is fit.Instead FazleAkbar should be taken!
**
He should be handed over to NAB to be quizzed over the considerable “investement” the PCB made on him, i.e, on his treatment abroad.

Most definitely

and take a look at this as well
from http://www.dawn.com/2001/05/03/spt2.htm
Besides the fitness aspect, Waqar also brought to the notice of PCB Shoaib’s attitude and poor disciplinary record. Waqar highlighted how Shoaib violated rules of the game during his brief visit to New Zealand when he refused to attend training sessions and threatened to talk directly to the PCB boss if insisted to practice with the team.
As soon as the advisory council meeting ended, Shoaib Akhtar was briefed in detail by one of the advisors about what happened within the four walls.
Not surprisingly, Shoaib is said to have held a meeting with some unidentified players and threatened the skipper with dire consequences if he didn’t stop maligning his reputation.

It is scum like these that give Pakistan a bad name. What blows my mind is why he has been given such VIP treatment. The guy is obviously not competitive enough to remain in top level cricket, yet PCB persists with him.
The telephone bill which this SOB left at PC was Rs.500,000. Can you believe it? Multiple families in Pakistan can live off of this amount for a year.
What a waste.
Don’t say nuttin bout my home boy. He from my home town, but that’s besides the point.
He had/has one hell of a raw talent. Just cuz he got led away doesn’t make him the worst person to have graced the cricket ground. Give him a chance.
See, that’s what i hate about you pple. U couldn’t stop singing his praises a few months back and now look at you
How many chances does he need. He has let down pakistani team many times, I think its time for PCB to get rid of him. If we can throw out Moin like we did there is no reason we cant throw out Akhter.

Hey one more thing
These things are hard to explain
For some it seems strange… to swallow
The frontier of our minds
Is the last place we find
But maybe the first place we should go
Shaoib Akhtar is bad news, he should never play for pakistan again.
Your home boy is more appropriately can be defined as ho-boy … how can you defend a man who brags publicly about how many females he can do? A bad characters got arrested in Islamabad three times with in the last few months for causing havoc while drunk … the steroids are the new thing that your ho-boy is experimenting with .. raw talent my a** .. he is getting raw by the day its been five years since he showed his ugly-butt-face in International cricket and he is still good for nothing Taqeer’s Ladla street cricketer with no talent what so ever.. most of the national cricket players fall in this category but they can atleast play! This piece of junk can stay home!
What in the world, who in the world, where in the world are you coming from. U have no right to diss this guy on what he does in his free time. If he chooses to shag anything available or to get pissed on a daily basis, that's up to him. I'm not interested in his social life, i'm interested in his talent as one of the best bowlers that Pakistan has ever produced. U can not deny that when he first came onto the scene everyone (no matter what country they supported) was in awe of this great great player. So, what's changed ????
I admit that recently his game's not been up to scratch, but that's happened to all the 'greats'. Everyone is allowed to have a rough patch ... it's a part of the game. We should be defending him, not criticising him. Have u ever thought that maybe the reason he's on steroids is the fact that he's so desperate to regain the form that he once had. We need to reach out and help the guy. He's in trouble and we're turning our backs on him.
Overall we don need shoaib as he can't play a single ODI with bwling perfectly 10 overs and we are spending a lot on him.the amount PCB spent on him if this was spent on a street bowler on coaching him he would have be a better bowler than him as their are many guys in pakistan whose speed and bowling is better than him.He is not a single express in Pakistan to bowl at 100mph(or kph).
The second thing important in the game is discipline.If he has to show such attitude as that the captain carry him in his hands in the fields and asks him to plz join the practice then their is no need.
I remember that time when a paki team manager someon brigadier ..... was thrown and almost urged to sorry as he has said that
"the team's moral is getting bad with Shoaib".I think he was absolutely right!
Well Sobi .. I don’t give a hoot that if he is from Lahore/Karachi of Pindi .. or if he drinks or womanize .. its his personal choice .. my objection is his behavior as a MEMBER OF PAKSITANI NATIONAL TEAM .. when he is a member of the NATIOANL SQAD then he is answerable to PCB which is not a property of any GENRAL sahib or one individual it’s a PUBLIC institution .. I and every other PAKISTANI have the right to object and get an explanation when players are under a contract and representing the nation … morons like Shoaib, Akram, Waqar, Saqi etc. got arrested, involved in things like drugs, drunkenness, gambling, match fixing, brawling in strip clubs, harassing, steroid use, and all that happened when they were representing a PUBLIC INSTITUION . PAKSITANI CRICKET that is .. I am a fan of their skills and talent except for Shaoib who has not proven anything it’s a professional sport where every player is judged by performance on his field not in bed as Shoib likes to be judged by! .. I don’t get how women like you can support guy like Shoaib who got arrested on sexual assault charges and degrades women .. if some ordinary xyz did it .. it would have been a big issue .. but if a celebrity does its quite the opposite he is adored rather being condoned .. sad indeed

WO WO WO, hold ur haorses for just one minute. I've never supported Shoaib for doing what he did (if he did it). All i'm saying is that it was his personal decision, and that it was done in his personal time. We have no control over what he does off the field.
Tyson raped a woman - but that doesn't make him a bad boxer. Gazza had the worst reputation off the field, but that didn't make him a bad footballer. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that ok - Shoaib made some big mistakes, but we cannot deny that he is one of the most talented cricketers that pakistan has ever produced.
Lets face it, cricket is about winning. Every match we see, we want Pakistan to win, otherwise we wouldn't waste our time. So, as long as he's good on the field (which he was) does it really matter what he's getting up to off the field ?????
Now I know these guys get paid huge amounts of money to do what they do, and it's up to them how they spend their money and their free time. If they want to go chase some flesh and get pissed then that's their decision. They shall answer to Allah, not to us.
As long as i get to see a good game, i really don't care about his personal habits.
why dont you guys just shut up and wait for the first test when shoaib will be included and will scare the sh*t out of england.
MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...................
First of all True Dumb A** Paki get lost …
Sobi that’s what exactly I said their personal behavior is non of my business but those things I mentioned most of them happened while touring and while as a contractual employee of PCB … Shoaib got charged with sexual assault in NZ while playing for under19 and you can check with Islamabad Police for his arrest record as well and if you have some relative doctor at Shaukat Memorial Khan Hospital you can find his steroid positive results as well ….Shaoib has lot of disciplinary problems which effect the moral, discplene and reputation of Pak-team and I don’t get your talent thing .. how do you measure talent? .. Success is the ultimate judge of a talent and by that he does not get even close.. media hype does not make one successful or talented .. all he is .. is a talented controversy king .. and people like Tyson (Shoaib does not even come close in terms of their talent but in bad behavior he is an equal match) brought bad name to their respective sports and institutions .. People more specifically teenagers and kids idolize people like them . and their reputation off the field come into play an that’s a dangerous thing when athletes like Shoib are the influence.. people idolized Imran (from his bowling to grooming style) and he guarded his reputation well inspite of his playboy like life style and he carried his reputation to political and social field as a successful person .. Michel Jordan is a legend because his work ethics, his talent will be matched sooner or later but he will keep his legend status forever.. how do you think shaoib will be remembered ?
And in professional life your behavior does carry you .. bad behavior and lack of discipline in one’s professional life does not sit well .. it’s a spice for celebrity/tabloid-life but in blue-collar life it is seen as potential problem

Ofcourse there are rules to follow when you are representing a team. I am not saying raping a women made Tyson a bad boxer. Shoaib has to come out practice with the other bowlers like everybody else does. Nobody is special. Maybe he was simply too proud on his 100+mph bowling deliveries.
Sure he deserves a chance, just like everybody else does. Punishment always works. If he has already recieved the due spanking. He should be let in.
I also think just Waqar's report on Shoaib might even be biased. Because Waqar himself being a fast bowler, might get jealous of any other teammates. This is just a theory, which I dont have enough evidence to support myself.
On Shoaib’s subject.. something which appeared on CricInfo
I say first we slap him, then kick him then spit on him, then drop him from the tallest of all buildings.
Stupid kid, I’m tired of talking about him over and over again about the same thing. And I’m sure your all bored of hearing the same thing over and over again.
Pristine bhai, shows you that there is no longer to play the love the game anymore but Cricket is now a business. Sighhhh Hanif Mohammed, Fazal Mahmood, and the others are all ashammed of the state of it now.
mainly girls are interested in him n he also claims dat miss world n so so wana become his gulfriend.so he should be made attacking bowler of paki women team as he is a bit chaka also…
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/rolleyes.gif
I DON’T THINK SO
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/rolleyes.gif
Neither me nor any of my friends find the guy even remotely attractive (nice bod tho !!! )
He’s a good cricketer and that’s all there is to it.
Does anybody know when is he playing the next match? I would like to know so I can make arrangements with somebody so we can order Payperview. Here it cost like $29 to watch a match. The Sharjah Cup was bad on my pocket too.
