All these comments by Shoaib & Shahid only help with the sales of that book Look at the facts: both these players are out-of-favor with the PCB. As such, their main source of income has pretty much dried up. Therefore, there is no harm in making a few of these ‘remarks if it would push book sales a bit. The more everyone gets worked up about this so called controversy, the longer it will stay in the news cycle and consequently help with book sales. This is standard procedure – it has been done before and it will be done again. The only question that remains is: How much of the royalties from the book sales will now go to Shahid?
No wonders shoiab and afridi now abuses sachin to grab attentions.. losers in thier career, seeking the oppertunity for some limelight.. I've seen numerous ppl in forum also abusing sachin like these pakies, just to sarcastically see more ppl replying to thier abuses..
It was the habit of Pakistanis to denigrate Indians. When Sunil Gavaskar was playing in Pakistan,Pakistani Singer was asked to give opinion on Gavaskar, she said I dont know anybody by that name, I know only Imran khan, When Kapil Dev was having world record for wickets,breaking Hadlee's earlier records,Imran Khan asked Hadlee to come out retirement and set the new record. Hadlee was a gentleman he refused to come out of retirement. Now great batsman like Richards,Lara are praising Sachin, these controversial figures (drug abuse,ball tampering) questioning Sachin's ability. All Pakistanis are poisoned from their child hold.They are taught only to ridicule Indians at every opportunity.
On their day,they'll play like the best players,cricket world have ever seen.. But unfortunately,those days are as rare as a day without a bomb blast in Pakistan....
Here again we are talking greatness of Sachin (who dont need a praise) we should be admiring Shoib that he made the world's best batsman fear, the problem with Indians is that we can not apprciate anyone else?

Against the 3 greatest fast bowlers of his era, whom he faced in more than one Test series, McGrath, Donald and Akram, Sachin has scored 1719 Test runs at a modest average of 34.3 (compared to his career average of 56).
In ODIs too his record is Terrible against These Three Bowlers.He Played 76 Matches altogether where Wasim Mcgrawth and Donald Play with average of 31 and Only 2 Centuries(Which were in Indian Pitches).

Sandhu jee I was just putting some Stats.When Sachin played against Mcgraw his Average was 36.77 but in his absence his average against Aussies are70.On the other hand when Lara played against Mcgrath his average was 64.82.Which means Lara was the better player to play Fast bowling.Ironically Sachin is God and Lara is Nobody.
