He is a highly indisciplined player and in my opinion a very tempremental player. Cricket is a gentleman's game and shoaib make this look like a joke. There have been various other instance of his teperament. It remains to be seen if the PCB has the courage to ban him for life. Cause he give cricket a bad name!
A great man thinks well before doing anything. While a foolish man do without thinkingits consequences. This way great man escapes him from unnecessary hassle, tussle, quarell..begging excuse, apology thereafter..bringing bad name to him and family. In the other hand a foolish man always welcome these problems. Let us learn: Thnink well before doing anything.
Shoaib Akhtar compares himself to Zinedine Zidane's final match antiques when asked about his dressing room spat with Mohammed Asif!
Here are the reasons why Zidane is Zidane and Shoaib is Shoaib!
1. Zidane was one of the best footballers in history. Shoaib was fast and furious, and sporadically effective.
2. Zidane didn't slap his coach across the face when asked about his behavior, Shoaib did.
3. Zidane headbutted Materazzi, his opponent, not his team mate.
4. Zidane had the courtesy to use his own head to attack Materazzi, he knew that his head was strong enough to floor Materazzi, Shoaib of course needed a bat!
5. Last but certainly not the least, Zidane gave it about 15 seconds of hard thought before headbutting Materazzi. He knew it was his last match and that only 5 mins were remaining - not enough time to score a goal. Shoaib on the other hand let his bat do the thinking.
He has been acting a little too rash and behaving like a something of a special guy a little too often getting involved in the controversies!!!! I feel ,He has been a real genuine fast bowler for Pakistan and has been unfortunate to be mired in controversies. He is right that media is making things difficult for him by blowing things out of proprtion, but he should stop bullying his mates ,coach etc. I wish him luck to come out of the problems.He is big hearted fella.
In every kind of field there should be unity that makes it strong so Pakistan team should be in way of following rules & regulations then the team shell success otherwise not.
Personally, I believe that ICC must interfere and warn PCB as this is a 2nd such event in a major tournament from the same country. There was a mojor incident (Woolmer's Death) in ICC 50-50 worldcup and now this incident.
ICC should warn PCB that if this continues, PCB will be banned from international cricketing assignments until further notice.
Such kind of events bring serious disgrace to the game of cricket. As such we are all aware of betting scandals.

Hello Sir, Why are you so angry? If it happens, it is their private matter. why do you put your dirty nose to some other's matter? This is what happened in Gavaskar vs Ponting. When Ponting reacted tit for tat Gavaskar did not have anything to reply!

Palakkadan - What SEKHAR ATI said is his own views, but what u said is total stupidity, gavaskar, ponting issue is the one personal fight which has not happened in any icc cricket event, but wheras this incident has happened in the major event for which ICC invited all the teams. so this is not there personal, such incidents in the iCC event is shameful and should be warned. If icc takes such actions than this can be controlled to some extent, as all players will have the fear and even in this incident, if such rule is applicable, even asif would have not went and argued with akthar. so understand the matter and than put yr nose or mouth.
