Do you think shoaib akhtar has got ankle injury or like past it is just a controversy?

I don't think he might have an injury, he is afraid of India,

You should get first prize in criticizing some one like Dravid who is so humble. He has given his entire life for Indian Cricket.No one is obsessed with him. Cricket lovers adore him.

Nope! He had his stint as a player n a captain.. well it ended unfortunately..but anyways I dont think he should be called back..Coz' there are many other players who are in line to take up his place and I think all this outcry and stuff about getting him back should end now, It has been so many months.. So Chill Everyone..Ganguly is the "past" of Indian Cricket now..

Its a sad rumour that seems to have been started out of boredom. Dan Cloutier is currently sidelined because of surgery to his ACL and was playing until Nov. 20th. The rumoured accident happened on Nov. 11 (which was a hit and run that killed two people) and if he had been injured enough to have to have ACL surgery from that he wouldn't have played until Nov. 20th. Its just a sad rumour.

absolutely not. he was sticking up for a teammate like players do all the time. he unfortunately took things a little too far and injured another player. it could've happened to anyone! would you like to be shunned for life if u made a mistake?

Yes, I think so. He has been playing for so long so I think it is fine now that he is not that good. But hmm..he has indeed lost that aura, I think Ricky has it now. The poor fella has been plagued with injuries and also the Inian fans booing him recently at his homeground was a poor way of showing respect to one of the best batsmen in the world.

are you nuts. look at his form and average for the ODI against pakistan. he has a long way to go before he retires man. dont read too much into his test matches performance

It's good to see Sehwag and Kaif performing. Other batsmen have spent a lot of time on Indian pitches, and Sehwag and Kaif have not. I guess they are adapting faster then the others. There isn't a problem in the team. The games were all close. Middle order batting needs some finetuning. The rest is fine.

THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT MUST FAVOUR THE BATSMAN LIKE OTHER SITUATIONS.\n\nI HOPE ICC WILL RECALL THIS.

Recently there was an uproar in the Parliament over Shibu Soren's issue.\nAnd they even discussed cricket I guess!!!

First of all..Mohd. Kaif is not a dashy player who can come to crease and start slashing. He is a batsman who requires time to settle down ..get his feet in and start knocking around the singles.  \n  In most of the previous matches..he came in around the 40..45th over and had to get moving quicly...no wonder he couldnt deliver.\n  It is clear from yesterday's performance that he takes time but ultimatelty delivers..dropping him now would be a big blumder.

AN INJURED BIRD NEVER FLY HIGH AS BEFORE..\n\nEVEN THOUGH..HE WILL BE THE FAR BETTER BATSMAN.

Well actually no Australian's or English accused Akhtar of chucking. He was reported by an Indian umpire, and Brett Lee was reported at the same time. Murali is the only player reported in Australia for chucking since Meckiff was reported by an Australian umpire in the 70's. \nLee and Ahktar were both tested by the ICC's official action analysis which does happen to be in Perth, Australia. Being the two fastest bowlers in the world, it was accused that they both bent their arms illegally for their "effort" balls, ie when they get up around the 155-160km/ph mark. However, what was proved was that both of them not only pass the movement allowed in the new, softer interpretation of chucking, but passed the previous requirements as well. What actually is happening to their arms for an effort ball, is that the bones actually flex and bend, not unlike when a wooden bow is taughtened with the bow string, and as they release the ball, it whips back to a straight position. Murali, however, was proven to throw for only one of his several differnt types of deliveries. He worked with Australian bio-mechanics experts and corrected the fault, and now no longer does it. However, this will always be seen as a source of bitterness, because when Hair did his duty and reported what has now been proven to be illegal bowling, Australian crowds jumped onto Murali, and he was personally very upset by it.\nThere has also been a young bowler in England, and another in Sri Lanka recently cited, but I can't recall either of their names, however the ICC's policy is to now reteach bowling actions rather than ruin careers.\nDEFINATIVE: Lee, Ahktar & Murali do NOT chuck.

TILL HIS SHOULDERS PERMIT..\nI HOPE INJURY ONLY CAN DIVIDE SACHIN AND CRICKET.

At the rate the officials are giving technicals, he could be eject 10-20 times.  Maybe even more!  Hopefully they change the no tolerance rule on technicals, because it's starting to get out of hand.  Especially for Rasheed, his career depends on it.

Muralitharan has a defective action his bends more than the 15 degree angle that bowlers are permitted when he delivers the ball. Same is the case for Shoaib Akhtar, Jermaine Lawson, Shabbir Ahmed but guys, why did you forget Kyle Mills?\nMurali & Mills do throw the ball. Mills, because he is not asian will never be reported. While Murali has cited disability for his bending of the arm. But think of the amount of exessise turn & bounce he generates. He turns around matches on it's head because he has an unfair advantage. \nMY arguement is:::\nIf Murali is granted pardon because he cites disability, then why doesn't the air-force recruit pilots with specs.Disability cannot be cited as an excuse. Am I wrong anywhere??
