Re: Shoaib Akhter fined for disciplinary reasons (Here we go again)
SHOAIB ACTOR!
This guy will never learn. Back in 1999 at Qaddafi-Lahore, Chairman-PCB called me and told me to call SA and get explanation on some drunken driving he got involved while traveling on Motorway.
He came to me and Col.Naushad was around too. I asked him reasons as I had to cover the hits by the press..and said he " I am like that..I can't help it and I dont care" .
FORMULAE:One for this bloke is that he should be thrown out of the team for good..once in for all! and efforts be made to locate his replacement as I can bet that there are scores of Shoaib Akhtars who are waiting to be noticed and picked up--but typical disdain...this happens seldomly and if this happens often...then we must remember that it was Javed Miandad...who while driving past that ground of Model Town-Lahore...saw Wasim Akram bowling for some club match and immediately took steps to loop in WA and even played a major role for his selection for Australia Tour despite Immo's resistamce and objection----and what we saw in Australia via TV then..was Wasim Akram clobber Aussies and Windies by taking 5 wickets.....
SHOAIB AKHTAR needs a 'haircut'...its high time. Fines won't matter.....he will recover the fine via some 10 seconds advert or TVC.
PCB k saath subb se barra mas'ala PLAYER POWER deal karne ka hai....we must remember--how big and super a player may be-----rules and discipline is the name of the real GAME..come what may.
Inzy dithered and suffered....so should Shoaib..I strongly believe.
