I think NOT selecting Shoaib AKhtar for the WI tour would NOT be fair either. He should ONLY be selected on merit and his recent performance in the domestic arena just like other prospects will be considered for the tour. If he is good enough to make the cut for 14 touring team, then he should be included.
As far discipline goes, I think Chaacha Bob knows how to apply that indifferently to every player. That's all we as fans would hope for that Akhtar doesn't get the preference treatment. Such superstar treatment brings the morale of the rest of the team down in a jiffy.
exactly cheegum. Everyone criticised inzi for his world cup debacle but very few here used personal abuse against him. I just can’t believe why some people can’t see why we hate this mofo so much.
Brush up on your reading skills, shmuck. Anyway, I honestly think Shoaib realizes now that his place is not granted and he would come back with an even better attitude, but I dread the fact that Inzamam is holding a grudge against him and would not make his return to the team a smooth process. You guys go beserk on bad attitudes by players, what about personal grudges held by the captain to keep someone out of the team? Answers?
Shaoib should be given a fair chance. On skill alone he is a good enough player to play for Pakistan. He has proven his abilities time and time again. People just selectivly remember things and write him off because of it.
Majority of the guppies in this forum are charhtay suraj ke pujaris. They always need some sort of scapegoat at the end of a cricket series, and amazingly they are now targetting someone who didn’t even play the last series! Sheep.
haha
That is so true. IF we lose a game because the other teams scores a lot of runs, its Shaoibs fault for some reason…
Well what about the other 4 bowlers
Bottom line is, if you give him a chance our team is stronger, thats all that matters.
What grudges? Inzimam has said time again that Shoaib Akhtar is his #1 strike bolwer. It’s up to Shoaib now to earn his place back in the team. Inzimam is not holding Shoaib Akhtar back, Shoaib Akhtar is.
Shoaib, should be given one last chance in this up-coming series against WI. If he he along with our other youngsters perform the same way or stronger keep him. But if ONE rumor goes out that he is spoiling the atmosphere of the dressing room, then kick him out.
And The Game ** Bhiya, Fine I agree and I know for fact that he has some grudge against Shoaib. Why do you think Woolmer is against him too ? I mean saaraye pagal hein and only shoaib normail haye ? Both Woolmer and Inzi are wrong not to mention all this Board and alone Shoaib is sahi in his doings ?
Anyways, only time will tell if our team is stronger with him or weaker. I would want to see him stopping the ball with his back on the floor like Rana, I want to see him giving his 110% not 100% but 110% like rana, sami and other fast bowler give in the field. ** I WOULD FUKKING HATE HIM IF I SEE HIM STOPPING A BALLWITH HIS FEET.
