Why Was Shoaib Dropped?

Just wondering?

Re: Why Was Shoaib Dropped?

i thought he was rested coz of a troublesome ankle ...... after playing 6 tests on th trot one might understand that he needs some rest and we saw that Pakistan do good without him ....... so that is what woolmer spoke of when he said they r trying to get kinda rotation policy into place to give all players especially fastbowlers some rest to prolong their careers and to enhance chances to play the best fit unit when going gets tough

Re: Why Was Shoaib Dropped?

he was given a well deserved rest

They are! Deep inside :p

Re: Why Was Shoaib Dropped?

You are all wrong. Actually Shoaib was offering nawafil till late at night, so couldn’t wake up for the game. He was then re-assigned as the designated Imam for the day.

On a related note, our dear friend from across the border, Sunil Gavaskar, has issued a timely “warning” to Pakistan. No surprise that this bit of “breaking news” was cheerfully picked up by the Indian media, your only source of reliable and current news.

Re: Why Was Shoaib Dropped?

gavaskar has always been a cry baby for those who know their cricketing history will agree with me.

Re: Why Was Shoaib Dropped?

Shoaib was rested due injury for the opening oD’r. Now was better than the game 2 or 4. Period

Any thing else is mere speculation! :closed:

Re: Why Was Shoaib Dropped?

Because Tendu needed a century, and when Pakistan recalled the results of previous Sachin specials, they quickly complied. :omg:
