Australia Tour to Pakistan

"He probably is the most unfit player in the team but one certainly cant doubt his commitment"

Mate, being unfit is one thing and being committed is another. I wonder if somebody ever doubted Bond's commitment to NZ cricket. Get it straight mate.

Bond was by far the fittest on the team, he just had poor technique for his bowling action.

Strange is defending a guy with his record, you are certainly not getting much support. Why is it that everyone else is wrong, but you alone are correct?

When Bond is playing, you won't see him bowl just 2 overs, then getting treatment from the physio in the boundary line, bowl another 3 balls and go off the field. Return after 2 days...

That has been pakistans problem, rules for some, not for others. Hopefully now the board is heading in the right direction, Lawson will not play favorites.

Waseem Akram had never problems with Akhtar as a captain. It depends very much on the captain and the board how to deal a player. I dont like to see a player going off the field after first day of the match and let other Bowlers alone for 4 days. Akhtar have done it quite a lot of times. I cant remember any other player in the world who have done this 4 or 5 times. There are only 2 ways. PCB have to look for a replacement for Akhtar as i cant see any Bowler who can take this role in Pakistan. Or PCB should try to solve these Problems intern. They have to sit down with the players and talk about the situation.

Pakistan have always the worst fittness. Look at the other players. Yousuf is 33 and cant run. Afridi just 27 and so lazy. Its overall problem for Pakistan

Zuhair, Bond isn't unfit like Akhtar. Breaking down with back injuries aren't really due to poor fitness but as Nz fast said, bad bowling technique. Akhtar on the other hand because of excess weight, he can get ankle injuries, torn hamstrings etc mor easily.

Zuhair you are saying Akhtar is a match winner when he is fit but i think he is a match loser than winner.......

Originally posted by MalikBrother Originally posted by Clobber Originally posted by kirankri I won't deny the fact that, I definetly support Australia if this series is played. But when I made a point about Akthar, that was my opinion if Pakistan need to be competitive in the series. He is too indescisplined IMO to consider him in the side when you are thinking of having only 4 regular bowlers. If the opinion is because of the bias against Pakistan, it would be interesting to know what the neutrals (Sledge, Clobs, 143, Bondy, BFM, Spin and others ...) think about Akhtar. Would you like to take him in your side guys when you want to play 4 bowlers? as a neutral, and just as importantly someone who actually cares about the integrity of the game of cricket, I wouldn't have him anywhere near any side I was involved in. if you are questioning Akhtar's integrity, you shouldn't be here as if you have forgotten about Pointing

Remind me when Pointing (sic) failed a drug test will you? Or attacked a team mate with a bat?

Pillock (as is BFM for labelling your post "brillant")

how is that my posts suddenly nonsense? i think you should watch interview between Ricky and Indian Reporte ...Judge believed Australia players like Clark, Hayden and Ricky without evidence to back and giving them the credits for being honest and overlooked Sachin's statement about Harbajjan who was innocent according to Sachin ...Suddenly, my post becomes nonsense
