f&b, I don't think there needs to be put a time limit for showing Shoaib the door. Only Woolmer knows whether Shoaib really complained about being given the role of first change bowler, but Shoaib for me has shown little effort to either cut down his run up or give his new role 100%. His body language and sulky demeanour say a lot....Inzimam had to take him off after 3 overs of rubbish and when he brought him back he bowled so badly he was taken off immediately and ended up bowling only 4 overs despite being our 'premier' fast bowler.

I would simply say if he's not bowling well don't play him. Anyone can have a bad day but I wasn't the only one who thought he didn't look interested and that's not something that can be tolerated. It'll be interesting to see what Woolmer made of it all.
