Mr. Wicket Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 If he chucks 3 a day at most, he's probably not even getting through an over a day... Link to comment

Laaloo Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 PCB chargesheets 'lawbreaker' Shoaib Karachi: Controversial fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar appears to be in deep trouble as the Pakistan Cricket Board has submitted a strong chargesheet against him, while coach Geoff Lawson has asked the PCB not to consider the maverick speedster for Test matches. In a chargesheet submitted to the disciplinary committee hearing the case against Shoaib, the PCB has described the bowler as a lawbreaker in the game. According to sources, the PCB has written that Shoaib has a record of breaching the terms of his central contract and he has remained in the spotlight for wrong reasons. To make matters worse for Shoaib, Lawson has also suggested that the express bowler be selected only for the ODIs as he was not reliable for Test cricket. "His future may lie in just being a ODI bowler as his lack of reliability is not good for Test match cricket," Lawson wrote. The disciplinary committee met yesterday to go through the chargesheet submitted against the fast bowler, who is under a one-year probation after being banned for 13 matches and fined Rs 3.4 million for having a brawl with teammate Mohammad Asif in South Africa last year. Now, the board has charged Shoaib with giving media statements against the policies of the PCB after he was dropped from the new central contracts list in January. Shoaib accused the board of having double standards while dealing with the players and accused it of conducting 'B' grade matches at domestic level. Shoaib, in his response to the PCB notice, has written rather passively to Board Chairman Dr Nasim Ashraf. "I have every respect for you as one would for an elder brother. More so, because you have been quite a helping hand throughout your tenure," he wrote. http://www.cricketnext.com/news/pcb-chargesheets-shoaib-calls-him-lawbreaker/30206-13.html guess we will never see the AAG attack :nervous::nervous::nervous: :giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle: Link to comment
Bumper Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 This is getting funnier by the minute. PCB at any given time, is either punishing Shaoib or pardoning him. Its hilarious that they want to censure a player who is not even contracted. Lawson should be fired asap. He was the one who insisted that Akhtar bowl in Kolkatta when he had hardly recovered & now he tries to blame Akhtar, while completely ignoring the main issue thats haunting Pak cricket -- the lack of sufficient depth in batting & bowling departments. Pak is too dependent on one or two players atm. That must change if they want to win consistently Link to comment

sm332 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 it actually makes good sense to use him only in ODIs .. he might actually be able to make it through a 5 match ODI series in one piece ... there is no chance of that happening in tests Link to comment

Feed Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Lawson wants Shoaib to give up Test cricket Pakistan coach Geoff Lawson, in his tour report on the away series against India, has advised against the selection of Shoaib Akhtar for Tests, so that the fastbowler can prolong his international career. More... Pakistan coach submits India tour report Lawson wants Shoaib to give up Test cricket Cricinfo staff March 12, 2008 Geoff Lawson has lost faith in Shoiab Akhtar as a Test bowler © AFP Pakistan coach Geoff Lawson, in his tour report on the away series against India, has advised against the selection of Shoaib Akhtar for Tests, so that the fastbowler can prolong his international career. "I have made that suggestion [that Shoaib should not be considered for Tests], but I have spoken to Shoaib about it and the idea is it would prolong his career," Lawson said yesterday. "Maybe he would be better just playing ODIs because of his reliability factor for Test match cricket. "A lot of players are doing it -- specialising in one mode. I just feel that he is important for the team and if he is more comfortable in the one-day mode, he should concentrate on it instead of Test cricket." Shoaib has only played four Tests since 2007, and though he took nine wickets at 33.11 in the three-Test series against India, he was plagued by injuries, missing out of the most part of the third Test in Bangalore. Meanwhile, Shoiab is in further trouble with reports that the PCB have filed a strong chargesheet against him for his comments against the board after being overlooked for a central contract, and his subsequent refusal to explain his comments. His latest tiff with the board could result in a life ban as he is on a two-year probation period, as part of the punishment he received for his infamous altercation with Mohammad Asif at the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa last August Link to comment
DomainK Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I would advise Shoaib to give up cricket altogether. Link to comment
Bumper Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Lawson-DNA combo is the total opposite of Woolmer-Shahryar Khan duo. DNA & Lawson are on a race to annihilate Pakistan cricket. Pak cricket needs a LEADER now. Otherwise, they may lose it all in a year. Link to comment
kumble_rocks Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Harmison quit ODI and he sucked . So , Lawson figured other way would be better for Chuckster. Link to comment
