You misunderstand what I was saying of Shoaib Akhtar: I'm sure he is happy to get as fit as HE thinks he need to be to bowl at Vaughan and Bell.... but I'm not sure he's prepared to get as fit as Woolmer is insisting on him being as a pre-condition for selection.

On the music front... I can't believe you even mention Johann Strauss in relation to music. His entire contribution to music is worth less than any ONE of the Late Beethoven quartets! Not sure why you'd bring Pavarotti into this... but the guy's good with Italian arias if that's your cup of tea. Don't ask him to do something challenging like a set of Schubert songs or a Richard Strauss Opera though!
