Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
what a tense game, loved every bit of, shukar hai allah ki we won it in the end.
Lekin this shoaib thing is going to get ugly, only this time the racists have got evidence. Theres an article posted on cricinfo titled "Akhtar under the TV spotlight" , in which Atherton says he invites the viewers to make their own minds up, and nasser says "At best he's been very, very silly. To do that in the present climate is stupid."
Now wot if Darrell Hair comes out of his ****hole and says told ya so mate!
Wot the %$#^#%^ was akhtar thinking?? If the oval controversy wasnt enough, wot is he an attention seeker like shahbaz from big brother. He knows the team needs him in the last 2 one dayers, i just hope and pray with all my heart tht he doesnt get banned from the remaining 2 matches
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
Shoaib Akhtar was in the spotlight as Sky Sports drew attention to him working on the ball during the ODI at The Rose Bowl. The pictures, which were replayed several times in close-up, appeared to show Akhtar flicking his thumb at the ball as he walked back to his mark. It is quite possible that Shoaib was removing mud or dirt from the ball, but if so that is still illegal as only the umpire can do so. The incident did not appear to be seen by either official.
Former England captain Michael Atherton, who was commentating for Sky at the time, invited the viewers to: "make your own minds up" after watching the footage. Nasser Hussain said: "At best he's been very, very silly. To do that in the present climate is stupid."
It now remains to be seen whether the match referee takes any further action after seeing the replays. The irony is that once again that person is Mike Procter, who was in the same role at The Oval and whose seeming lack of decisive action then is sure to be under the spotlight when the ICC eventually holds its Code of Conduct hearing.
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
If Shoaib was indeed tampering, the PCB will need to act firm so that the world knows we are not standing for cheaters. Its harsh but thats the way it should be. Otherwise, it may well weaken our case at the hearing.
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
Agreed
I often wonder why our players act so naive.
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
^ Teh umpires were checking the ball after each over. So chill there was no tampering.
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
:D You wanted to open? ;)
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
Tey cameras were capturing everything and will publish the pics and videos all over press and internet.
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
humaare apne shoaiby ko bhool gaye kya?
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
Regardless of whether Shoaib or any other Pakistan bolwer did any ball tempering, with so much media scrutiny already on the team, it behooves each and every one of them to be extra extra careful on the field.
Good news is that Akhtar was not even playing the Oval test so that should not impact Inzi hearings in late September. Bad news is that since Pakistan team is now on a winning spree in England, therefore British media and their experts will have their daggers ready to lynch anyone even remotely suspected of foul play. After all, in gora mind, the only way browny people can win against the superior gora teams is by cheating (remember '92).
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
Check my post in Cricket Videos for the captured scenes of him tampering.
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
He stands more accused here on GS than any other sites I have been to.
Re: Stupid Shoiab Akhter!
There is no conclusive evuidence that he was tampering.
