Re: Shoaib Akhtar - A disgusting fellow
Shoaib did alright in the series guys.. bowled 10 over in all the games he played, was not expensive, took wickets. Even bowled with a short runup when we were behind the over rate. Did not sledge too much... whats wrong ?

Re: Shoaib Akhtar - A disgusting fellow
waisay, he was up with harbagan till 1:30 ? nothing else to do in India late at night ?
Re: Shoaib Akhtar - A disgusting fellow
I agree with all of you that It's his personal matter. But with what I don't agree is, that he shouldn't have had alcoholic drinks while being invited for a tour. I thought cricketers have enough brains to know, that alc is no good while having to compete in a series of games.
No wonder, his breathing times have increased from one game to another.
Re: Shoaib Akhtar - A disgusting fellow
Here we go again, Shoaib Akhter bashing. Such is the hypocrisy of these ppl who are eager to pull the trigger on SA while they conveniently ignore their beloved bearded hero's who did not blink an eyelid when they saw money, money, money.
Give it up guys, stop being the moral police. SA can do whatever he pleases on his private time, that is no business off mine or anyone else.
Re: Shoaib Akhtar
I am not a huge fan of him .But i feel that people do bash him for whatever he does .For example when he visited an orphanage some said why he visited an Indian orphanage .
Re: Shoaib Akhtar - A disgusting fellow
Tum log to saaray jaise doodh ke dhulay huay farishtay ho. Zyaada bongian na maaro; what he does off-the-field is none of anyone's business. He does not even yell at jokers like Akmal for dropping sitters; what kind of respect are you looking for? Do you want him to cuddle every player on the field? Sheesh.
:( @ no schmuck word this time?
PS: :D
Re: Shoaib Akhtar
I simply don’t have enough words to express my resentment towards this cheap person. Throughout this series, his attitude has been really strange. I am not questioning his commitment as a bowler but his off ground activities are really mind boggling and demand some tough questioning. Hanging out with Indian players all the time? Even that is fine as long as you don’t cross the limit. But what shoaib did on sat night is simply disgusting.
I don’t have Geo News and ARY – thanks to Mushraraff – and therefore I decided to subscribe to some India news channels. One of these channels was talking about a late night party held in jaipur on sat night for Indian players to celebrate India’s win in the series. This was a private party at someone’s place. Guess what, our own shoaib akhtar also attended the party. Almost all Indian players left by 11 pm but shoaib, harbhajan and youvraj stayed there. Youvraj left the party by 12 am but hrabhajan and shoaib stayed till 1.30 am. Not to mention that they were not in a state where they could drive to their hotels by themselves and were escorted to their hotels by the security policemen. And it is not yellow journalism as the channel showed shoaib walking into the party. I really don’t think that any Indian player would have participated in a Pakistani party, had India lost the series. Indian channels were making some nasty comments about shoaib’s participation but I don’t blame them.
Yes, cricketers are also human beings and they also need to have life but one should also have some integrity. India has just beaten Pak in the series, they are having a dance party to enjoy it. What are you doing their shoaib? You could have apologized. Shoaib always has such a bad influence on the team.
PD just to let you know, Shoaib and Yuvraj are very good friends and attend alot of parties together when the two teams get together for a series. Atleast thats what they do when in Karachi. And another fact about shoaib is that he drinks, which is his personal matter.
I dont think this shows that Shoaib does not want to interact with his own team mates off the field. Its just that he is a good friend of few Indian players and probably like to spend time with them off the field whenever he gets a chance.

It's no more a personal matter as long as he is there to play cricket for his country on International Levels. I'd rather darn care If he'd do this while playing County Cricket Matches.

says who?
non-muslims also drink alocohol. Do you know of any policy from ACB or ECB where they tell their players not to drink during a tour?

Yaar, It's not about muslim or non-muslim. Since I'm a sports freak I know how these things can affect your performances in tournaments, games. Normally, players, sportman avoid these things while such events. I don't know much about cricketers, but It would be really stupid to do so.
Maybe, Its high time to implement such policies by PCB, I really not care for BCCI or any other Board. Generally, this law should be imposed on every national team player. Be it Cricket, Hockey, Badminton, Squash, etc.
Re: Shoaib Akhtar
the point being missed by many is that the party was being organized to celebrate Indian victory over Pakistan. I doubt there has been any such example earlier where a player of the losing side would join the victors in "celebrating the loss" Seems like the general niazi of pakistan cricket.
