I am sure he is not talking about sachin tendulkar when he says "I also don't look at Sachin when I bowl to him,". Because as fas as I remember.. in guwahati match he was trying to baffle Tendulkar which his nonsense talks and also during Mohali match he even made mockery of Sachin using funny gestures. I am sure thats why he gets into so much trouble because most of the times he dowsn't even know what is he doing :)
No doubt he is a good fast bowler & a nice human being,I like the thing he accepted at the last November 14, 2007
Despite his worthy performance in the three one-day matches against India in the on-going series, comeback man Shoaib Akhtar [Images] said he was not in the perfect shape to take on the arch-rivals in the on-going cricket series.
Shoaib, who served 13-match ban before returning to the grinds of international cricket, is not bowling as quick as he bowled in his early days and insisted he needed to play more matches to be in perfect shape for the series.
"I wasn't ready for the ODIs. I wanted to play three-four games before playing in the series," Shoaib on Wednesday. He had returned with the fifth and final ODI against South Africa at home.
"I also needed to train more in the gym and get into the shape before the series," said the bowler, who so far has picked six wickets in the series.
The 32-year-old speedster said although his pace had reduced he was bowling more sensibly than ever.
"Bowling quick is thrilling and its very enjoyable. I am still bowling quick but I'm a bit more sensible now and also bowl dot balls in an over," he said during an interaction with the students of Scindia school in Gwalior on the Chirdren's day.
Shoaib admitted that it was frustrating to get hit by a batsman despite bowling fast.
"Yes, it is frustrating when you are bowling at the peak speed and you get hit by (Virender) Sehwag for a boundary through slips," h

No one asked you to reproduce the above text per se and waste everybody's time Mr Basa Basi.
It seems you started bowling sensibily now. Have calm down and have become matured.. Look back at your agression a few years back.. You will understand yourself, you have moved a long way through.. Well being Indian I would not like to be better of us, but yes as a sportsman, its always good to see you bowl. Be a role model to the upcoming generation, show them the way to be agressive and being sensible.. Good Luck Nish....
