A Never Ending Shoaib Akthar Episode

A flash news yesterday read:The PCB banns Shoaib for 5 years.It would be nice if one could go to a flash back regarding Shoaib Akthar's career.it all starts with Shoaib's throw rather than calling it a bowling.The bowler was damn lucky when someone like Muralitharan was frequently warned,no-balled and much more.Rather call it humiliated for his bowling action.But,Shoaib was never accused for such an awesome action.God knows why.

And most of his career has been prone with injuries in one form or the other.Rarely Shoaib has been of some service to Pakistan cricket when it really mattered.But,his attendence has been found to be 100% when it comes to some off field actions or for wrong reasons I can say.The man was found guilty of hitting his fellow team mates-Shahid Afridi & Mohd Asif during a practice session during Pakistan's home series against South Africa.And then we have the dopoing scandal which involved Shoaib along with Asif-easily let off by PCB.

Well another luck awaited Shoaib as he is now allowed to play in the multi million dollar Indian Premier League.

Inzamam 'disgusted' at umpire Hair's reinstatement

Hmm..there was some shocking news for Pakistani cricketers on Tuesday after they heard the news of umpire Hair's reinstatement.As it happens obviously for everyone of us,even Inzy was not someone special.The situation is no different from"If Steve Bucknor had been reinstated for tours with India being a part".But,some things have to be made clear.When Pakistani cricketers condemn the reinstatement of Hair,wanting him to be sacked,to what extent are Pakistanis worth the praise?Why wasn't Inzy-the gr8 not punished when he beat up a fan in Canada during the Sahara Cup 1997?And how come Javed Miandad was spared when he was found to mess up Dennis Lillie?And Shoaib Akthar being pardoned when they were involved in the doping scandal along with Mohd Asif?How come PCB was not victimised when Pakistani fans at Karachi pelted stones at Indian cricketers,following which India surrendered the next match in Lahore-where Ijaz belted an 84 ball 139* without giving a fight owing to security reasons?

With the PCB being so reluctant when it comes to deeds performed by their own players,I feel that they have lost the moral right to point their fingers at Darrell Hair!!
