Shoaib Akhtar retires from international cricket....

...seems a more appropriate headline.

Has he retired?

I dunno. I don't care.

lol @ the paksters - more comebacks than Sinatra. I see Younis Khan is back too.

They tend to be more reincarnated than come back. 3 serial retirees, who've changed their identities:

Yousuf Youhana > Mohammed Yousuf
Younis Khan > Younus Khan
Abdur Razzaq > Abdul Razzaq

Shoaib Akhtar- what a fighter he is....

WTF is Shoaib Akhtar?

Personally I never watched that boring version of cricket.

Did he ever play T20 for Bangladesh?

Do you say such things in real life or do you reserve these gems for the unfortunate souls on FB....

Nah, just for idiots who think he was a good bowler. The most blantant chucker since MM

certainly idiotic to call him merely a good bowler when he is All time 11 material

He only chucked after getting really tired or after coming back from a long break..

So you admit he was a chucker?

BS. He chucked from ball one.

The game is better without him.

Bearing in mind he seemed to get tired after his third over, and hardly ever went a series without breaking down, I'd say he chucked most of the time on that basis.

You can exaggerate all you want but i reckon from 1997 to 1999 his action was just fine then he farked it up in 2001 after coming back a serious injury, in 2002 to 03 it was back to normal for about 80-90% of the balls delievered and at the time he was by far the best bowler in the world

Shoaib Akhtar was one of the biggest assets to the game.
