Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI/Unlikely to tour according to Shahryar

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

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.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

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.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

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?

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

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.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

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.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

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.

Excellent post. I share the same thoughts. :slight_smile:

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

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.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

Go and read the sports news today from Jang-group. You shall find out what I talked about above.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

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.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

The news article talks about ‘some’ player not wanting Shoaib in the team, but categorically denies it was Inzimam.

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

^ Shoaib, getting the taste of his own medicine.

Looks like same "10" players who never contributed to the team wins (according to shoaib himself) , are now against his inclusion in the team.

oh and by the way, Woolmer's interview @ cricinfo.com states "Shoaib has to fight hard for his place with Shabbir & Umer Gul" - Do the math!

For me equation is simple

Shoaib = Un-acceptable

and

Shoaib - Attitude + Commitment + fitness = Acceptable

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

He would have forgotten about cricket and gone to Mumbai and beg to be a movie extra in Yash Chopra’s next flick :hehe:

Re: Shoaib Akhtar vows to play leading role in WI

His attitude is the biggest problem with Akhtar. Who needs a players who bowls 10 overs in 5-day test match and gets injured on a regular basis.
