Shoaib Akhter

i think its not the matter of Shoaib Akhtar about pakistan wining.According to my calculation, the winning of pakistan cricket tema with and without shoaib is approximately the same. But in the winning games with shoaib, the probability of best performance by shoaib is not so much. If u see as a whole, in my openion, shoaib has not performed up to the his capabilities in more than 4 to 5 instances.

I think they are loosing becuse of the poor tactics they are still good side with out shoib akthat

Yes Shoaib is certainly a match winner, but it does not means that if Shoaib is not played then Pakistan can not win a match. Pakistan plays there maximum matches without Shoaib and also wins. Ya, Shoaib is in team, then there is a very good advantage for the team

Shoaib Akhter has played vital role in some of the victories Pakistan achieved. Winning a ODI series in Australia. Winning a test match against India in Bangalore, where he bowled sachin and dravid in succession. Having said that all, over the years, he has lost his fitness, he is not at his best anymore. If we check his stats for the last couple of years, he is not as affective as used to be. Pakistan won matches without him, even when he was playing, he did not perform as much as was expected of him. He was never a good team man, He always had attitude problem, which most big stars carry. He was rude to team management. I do not believe, media hype. I am saying this because I know him in person, I also belong to Rawalpindi and has played club cricket. When he comes to media he becomes very humble, and in real he is otherwise, especially in dressing room. He doesn't listen to seniors, he does what he wants. Sometimes he pretends to be putting 100% for the team, just to make an impression. I am not against him and not writing this in hatred. I am just writing which I know very well based on my findings. You ask any first class cricketer in Rawalpindi who played with shoaib, he will tell you, what shoaib akhter is all about. Shoaib has lost is fitness, also faith of Pakistan team. He let them down so many times. It is said often about shoaib "Aise jaga chorta hai, jahan saya bhe nahi hotha". Mean they play him in the team and he gets unfit at crucial moment, and team is left without much resources. I would say, pakistan playing shoiab or not, doesn't make much difference, considering his current form, fitness, rhythm. I know my people disagree, but I say what I know. Happy discussions.
