NOW ITS ....... AKHTAR VS INZAMAM





A new twist in the akhtar story as he complained about former skipper Inzamam and keeper Moin Khan. The latest Shoaib Akhtar saga threatens to take an ugly turn with former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq threatening to take legal action against the 'bad boy' of Pakistani cricket.
Shoaib has alleged in a TV show that Inzy and Moin offered him money to underperform. The former Pak skipper shot back saying he and Moin were considering about the issue and the action to be taken against akhtar.
In an interview to Pakistani news channel Geo TV, had Akhtar claimed he had turned down offers from bookmakers in South Africa and India to under-perform.
For that inzy said that his whole career has been full of controversies, he also told that this ban was coming because of his repeated bad behaviour. Yes, five years is a bit harsh but the ban is totally justified,
During Inzy's stint as captain, Shoaib Akhtar has been involved in umpteen controversies - no wonder then, that the Pakistan captain had come out in support of the PCB when Shoaib was banned.

PAKISTAN PACE SPEARHEAD AKTHAR BANNED FOR FIVE YEARS


Pakistan pace legend Akthar banned from international cricket for the next five years. He was already in a probation period for two years after hitting Mohammed Asif during world cup. Pcb has banned Shoaib Akthar for violating the players code of conduct.

The board has lost confidence in Akthar and therefore felt that his presence in field was damaging to the Pakistan team, for Pakistan players and for the image of Pakistan cricket says pcb source to press .

Whatever it is but it is damn sure that Pakistan is missing a true fast bowler.
