Shoaib Akthar's Autobiography

Haider took a dig at Afridi and Akhtar, criticising them for giving statements after they retired from the national team.

Just a day after claiming that Sachin's legs were trembling when he was up against Akhtar, Afridi says that he is a huge Sachin fan.

Shahid Afridi said that his 'trembling legs' comment was for one particular match only, and that Tendulkar's records spoke for themselves.

In a revelation that is likely to kick up a storm, Umar Gul said matter-of-factly that he had seen James Anderson of England tamper with the ball during Pakistan's tour of England last year.

Former Indian captains Sourav Ganguly and Ajit Wadekar laughed off Shahid Afridi's claim that he had seen Tendulkar 'tremble' while facing Shoaib Akhtar.

Shoaib Akhtar's ex-team-mate and former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik felt the pacers remarks on Tendulkar and Dravid were "in bad taste" and that he should not have made them.

The PCB feel that they can use excerpts for Shoaib Akthar autobiography to prove that the 18 month ban and a fine of 7 million rupees they imposed on the fast bowler was justified.

Shoaib Malik is among the few who do not take Shoaib Akhtar seriously and he believes others should follow suit.

Speculations are rife that the cancellation was due to the harsh response to Akhtar's controversial comments.

Shoaib has been effusive in praise of the Indian captains even while criticizing his former skippers.
