Pak team doesn't need full time coach: Afridi

[King Tendulkar]

and we recently defeated the WC finalists with out a coach and a totally inexperienced captain. .

Here we go the pak spin doctor is back defending the most riduclous idiotic things of pak and muslims.

Guys - why do we have to berate MP for his comments. Isn't this a win-win the coaches in the world will be safe + the Pak team will get what it wants (free reign - watch out for the inflection in their fielding standards and their discipline). Also you cant blame MP for grabbing on to the slimmer of hope given how bad the news has been in the recent past.

Seems like i have really ignited this thread with one simple fact.

No, not a fact. The players you were supposedly missing, atleast the majority of them, should be banned for life. Had this been athletics or any other field with stricter drug rules, Actor and Asif would be like Ben Johnson. So no, you wern't missing them, you are getting away with murder by not banning them for being clear-cut cheats.

Right on

Not true! There have been MANY athletes who have been acquitted even with a much higher nanodrolone level.

Whats your point! That the cheating drug fuelled pak cricketers should be let off.

[kumble_rocks]

MP has a point. Surely a full strength Pak team with Akhtar/Asif /Afridi would have definitely made it to the super 8. Their is no question about that in my mind. But , I don't think they could have beaten Australia in it's present form.

Now let's talk about full strength chucky. Is there drug involved for the full strength or not

Yes ! But , it's upto ICC to ban him which I would support wholeheartedly. If they can't , then he should be allowed to play.

And unfortunately ICC don't do testing in every series.

Lets see some names then ! Sorry but there is no two ways about it- Akhtar and Asif should be banned permanently or at the very least get 1 year total ban like Warney. Akhtar and Asif are clearly guilty of cheating and PCB are shamefully protecting them instead of disciplining them.

Rusedski, Petr Korda and quite possibly flyod landis. The first two, they were acquitted on appeal on the grounds that they might have tested positive due to the electrolytes and supplements administered to them during an ATP tournament (the supplements are provided by the ATP itself); whereas landis is still up for arbitration. Note that both Asif and Akhtar are in circumstances entirely different from those above and their chances of an acquittal are remote if access to fresh tests is available. tests preferably conducted with blood samples from the time of their first brush with infamy.

omg this guys is making me LOL everyday..........:haha::haha::hysterical::hysterical: he doesnt want a coach? lolz, his batting average is 23 WITH coach, damn imagine no coach, then his average will be less than 10.

[CC1981]

Dunno about Rusedski but Petr Korda definitely got banned. As per some escaping the hammer, yes, that happens too but none were caught so blatently as Asif and Akhtar were. They couldn't even pretend contaminated samples or something- apparently some pakora from Multan had nandrolone in the oil or some really retarded excuse like that. :confused_smile:
