Re: Shoaib called up as Gul cover
Eshan bhai, when was the last time shoaib was involved in a major controversy because of his irresponsible attitude? The recent logo issue is not even considered a controversy. We hear several other related issues involving different players, but it is the job of media to make a mountain out of molehill. It is their job to target players like shoaib so as to blow an issue out of proportion.
Yes shoaib has discipline issues but than you have to use his talent in a positive way. Warne has been invloved in so many controversies and scandals, but Ponting knew his value and dealt with him appropriately. God knows what would have happened, in case inzi was his captain. The point is that you can't just sideline a player because of his lifestyle as if you are a khalifa captain of a Gali Mohalla Goli Mar 11.
We saw how shoaib performed against England in Pakistan and showed that he is capable of becoming a team player without involving himself in any controversy. But what did he get in return? Shoaib's attitude has visibly changed in the last 12 months, but it takes two hands to clap and unfortunately it seems that inzi being a team leader is not understanding that.
