Re: Shoaib Akhter - Dilemma ends (Merged)

@brahmachari99

Why do you think Shoaib Akhtar need to be managed in the first place? The three well paid, experienced knowledgable sure ARE managing him… by keeping him out of the team. This is the surest form of maintaining discipline. When a child acts up, the principal disciplines him/her by sending him home. The same thing has happened with Akhtar… what did you expect? That Woolmer, Inzimam, etc will have a stick and beat Akhtar with it for each of his violations?

You say Inzi is cannot/does not want to manage a player who can challenge his authority? Why would a player challenge a captain’s authority? Have you seen McGrath or Warne challenge Ponting’s authority? A player has to yield to the captain’s authority otherwise the team can’t function.

Naheen Bhai, aapko confusion hoagai hai…I was only responding to Captains viewpoints where he had stated that Inzi was having difficulties when Shaoib was in the team. I had used the same logic with Cap which you applied with me, so we agree. Discipline is not soemthing to be taken lightly, niether is abuse of authority. Give me one instance where Shoaib Akhter has been reprimanded or accused of defying the Captains authority. Not One, all we know about his match fitness issues have nothing to do with lack of team discipline. So please do tell us where Shoaib has been charged with violating team discipline, this is extremely important cause a guy has been charged yet no trial, no opportunity to prove his innocence.

Inzi had problems with Rashid Lateef, dropped. Moin Khan, dropped and now not included. Shoaib, well we all seem to know Inzi/Woolmer side of the story, there has to be the other side. For the sake of fairness, professionalism and keeping the sport out of disrepute, it is extremely important to base selection on merit, which sadly is not the case when it comes to Inzi/Woolmer. Thus the doubts regarding their one-sided public outrage with Shoaib antics.
