Super Fast Express. Review on Shoaib Akhtar

I am not a very big cricket fan but know a few rules of the games and would definetly like to know whatz on the score board when India is on the field.

Myself being a sportsman, know what a player goes through when he/she is performing and hate those people who just sit in front of the TVs and pass on the comments. If you can't do it then atleast don't pass on the negative comments about an athelete.

Ask a person (who has no idea what Formula 1 is all about) and he/she will pose as if they know and will instantly say Micheal Schumacher. Same is the case with Sachin and for me even Shoaib comes in this list.

When it comes to sports, it doesn't matters from which country the player is but what matters is how he/she performs. Nobody knows much how Shoaib is as a person and lets leave it to the ICC to tell us if he chucks or whatever.

All that aside, lets just see the way he used to bowl when he was new to the team. The look on his face said it all. He wasn't anyone to be taken lightly. His run up, the aggression on the face and some of those screams all speak about how much he puts in those EXPRESS deliveries. I believe earlier he used to bowl without any pressure which helped him bowl naturally but now with the ban etc, he had to adjust his style and probably he might never be the same again. Lets not get politics into the game and let every player display his natural talent.

C'mon Shoaib we are waiting to watch you BOWL those natural deliveris again, especially my Grandma. Yes you read it right. My Grandmother is a big fan of Shoaib. Once my grandma happened to be in front of the TV and saw Shoaib bowl. Though she is 60+ with hardly any knowledge of sports, she was surprised to see the ENERGY this guy carries and whenever there is a match going on she asks us ''Is he playing today?'' and when we tell her that he is in the Pakistan team and we can see him in action only if the match involves Pakistan, she gets a little disappointed and tells us ''OK. but do let me know if they show him bowling''

Not many players possess the energy Shoaib carries on the field(mayb some possess and don't show) but its a treat to watch the Rawalpindi Express in action.

Now if you think that he is here in one match and gets injured and misses the rest of the series, let me tell you that even he is a human being and with the effort he puts in, the human machine is bound to be damaged and hence he requires the time to heal and recharge. I doubt if he will be bowling for a long time so lets appreciate his spirit as long as he can. He is a man, not a machine and its natural to be injured. Injuries are a part of any sport.

Gimme a break. When was the last time your machine broke. I mean your car/bike/computer. YES! even machines breakdown.

A message to Shoaib: Take care of your health, especially the bowling arm and shoulder.

Lets all Wish all the atheletes Health and Fitness who work so hard and we just sit and watch and pass comments.
