Re: Shoaib Akhter - Dilemma ends (Merged)
I don’t think I have ever cursed anyone, not even Shoaib. He is a professional cricketer. If he performs, we praise. If he doesn’t perform, he can’t expect praise. If he is fit and is committed to perform as a team player, he should play. That has been my (and most other people) consistent stance. Its only you who want to blame everyone else for the “miseries suffered” by Shoaib.
Shoaib is a big boy. He should take responsibility for his own actions. If he has a hamstrung injury or has added extra weight on his body, he should take care of it as a professional and get back into side through his fitness and perfomance. Constantly harping about putting blame on other people, e.g. Shahriyar doesn’t like him, Woolmer doesn’t like him, Inzamam doesn’t like him, Youhanna doesn’t like him.. on and on, really gets you no where.
