Shoaib Akhtar

One-day internationals Pakistan

comment on the article

Why do Pakistan even bother with Shoaib?. Pakistan as a nation have hundreds of fast bowlers who never get spotted. It just depends on who you know in cricket. Yeah he's quick but where i come from he'd be known as Fast and Foolish.

I reckon it's fair to hear Shoaib's side . IF they were insulting his family he had right to react . Miandad had his tussles . ALso Pakistan needs Shoaib , Shoaib gives us the edge and by the merit of his bowling has earned his place far more than many of the others .

pakistan does not need shoaib. i would almost say they need to get rid of him. he ruins the team spirit and is not talented enough to compensate for that

Well Son_Of, I would say that Pakistan could use his services. But at this point, with all that has happened, Pakistan does not need him, or the drama and immaturity he seems to bring with him.

ooooi u lot, jst sht ur mout, now pakistan lost the finaldoh, jst because shoaib was not there, they could have fine him but because of that india is now celebrating the trophy, which we could hav if shoaib was there, in T20 there was non of the bowler bowling ovr 90mph, and the batman was still in pressure, imagin if shoaib was there, it would b 90 to 100mph bowling speed, and he could hav the most wickets in the tournament, u lot dont know about cricket, to evry1 who is against shoaib, jst f of, u mother f krs, get ur as away frm cricket, u fn as hols, shoaib was the best and he will be bestloveblush, does'nt matter who evr f about, n i tell u lot 1 thing, that some people against him 'as he said in his interview'. there is some people are fin about wiv him.

Yes, he was a great bowler, but ultimately a cheat and a liar,i am so glad India beat Pakistan in the 20/20 final,how can you have world champions who take drugs, dance on the wicket, and are continually charged with ball tampering, so your a disgrace to cricket, CLEAN UP YOUR ACT!!!!
