Shoaib Akhtar - A Fallen Hero?
2008-05-19 03:30:00 Raza Rumi I am not concerned with the technicalities of Shoaib Akhtar’s sentence, which have been the subject of much debate across Pakistan and indeed wherever cricket is played and followed.

Sanam With Shoaib Akhtar On That Night, On GEO
2008-04-09 21:26:00 Geo TV was quick to dig up and paste the scandalous photos of Shoaib Akhtar with the Australian skanks in the nightclub, to spice up it?s coverage of the current scandal. These two probably got stuck to the bottom of his shoe, when he went to the bathroom. One of them is showing-off her dark nipples through her c-thru top (no bra), which is barely held together by a thin string in the front. It?s probably designed for quick and easy access. But the real scoop, is the scoop v-neck of the Pakistani model, who is pointing her sharp nipples in Shoaib?s direction in the last pic. Her name is Sanam (no, really) and she is a frequent ramp and print model these days. She is often spotted in risque modeling assignments on FTV Pakistan, one of which required her to don a toga, which she did, sans any bra. You could make out the whole shape of her tits. When she moved, it looked like she had a pair of sea-otters hidden under there. Here she is showing a fair bit-of-tit. Her wide plunging ne...

Shoaib Akhtar Banned for five years from pakistani cricket
2008-04-01 21:01:00 Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, 32, has been banned for five years by a disciplinary committee of the PCB for violating the players' code of conduct. The ban extends to cricket for and in Pakistan but will leave him free to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL), which begins later this month. Legspinner Danish Kaneria, also charged with criticising the PCB, was let off with a severe reprimand as it was his first offence. Shoaib had appeared before a disciplinary committee in February after being charged with publicly criticising the Pakistan board for offering him a retainership instead of a contract. The board had offered contracts to 15 players, based on a formula that took into account their performance, but Shoaib was demoted to a retainership from the Category A contract he held last year. "The board has lost confidence in Shoaib Akhtar and therefore felt his presence in the field was damaging to the Pakistan team, for Pakistan players and for the i...

Talking about the test match, Asif was a real surprise package and he became the second most valuable player for Pakistan in the match. Pakistan won the match because of Akmal and Asif and Irfan Pathan's Hat-trick was in a shade.After the exclusion of Mohammad Asif its Shoaib Akhtar upon whom more load has been left. However Pakistan has some really great emerging stars as pace bowlers. Sohail Tanvir, Umar Gul and Rao Ifthikar Anjum are t...
