Shoaib Ahktar gets 5 years for complaining about his contract being downgraded.
According to America David Hicks is a terrorist, but he didn’t get 5 years.
The glove didn’t fit on OJ and he was acquitted.
But for Shoaib made comments that upset the cricket administracrats, and that was enough for him to be given the @ss.
It is a strange world we live in.
The man hits people with bats, takes drugs, gets called for chucking twice and it’s only when he has the audacity to bag the suits in the PCB does he actually get a real ban.
And what a ban it is.
5 years.
Wow.
That ain’t no polite slap on the wrist, that’s getting sent to the russain front for talking back in Youth nazi class.
Some people may think he deserves it for his entire career. You know for only playing 40 odd tests in ten years.
I think he deserves it for being a massive tool his whole life.
But at least he was never a match fixer, because as we all know, they are all South Africans.
JROD, shoaibs future professionhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CL01Yse6IM&feature=relatedAlso bat like chris martin:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qu4oVX-YHE
it was weird that ban… like you said they took on everything on his past to boot him out completely. It’s the ICL now for him.
Kapil Dev and Tony Greig like it… They are doing a little jig coz now they have another washed up international star waiting to get into ICL
The explanation being given by the PCB is that following the bat hitting incidet Shoaib was on a 2 year probation – thus his next act of indiscipline automaically led to a 5 year ban.Unjustified totally but if u look at the entire picture it not for criticizing the PCB but for everything he has done in the past.Eitherway blame the PCB and its past administracrats for getting it to this level.ITs become very pathetic now with the verbal war between NAsim Ashraf and Shoaib…Scorps – I doubt he will go the ICL way after what he’s said about Inzi, Mushtaq, Moin Khan, etc…Moin Khan is the agent for Pak players and he will make sure Shoaib stays away from the ICL.I think SRK will ensure that Shoaib plays in the IPL.
