I think Umar Gul, Shabbir Ahmed, Abdul Razzaq, Danish kaneria, and Naveed ul-Hasan, Shoaib Malik and Shahid Afridi, should be played they truly play this game to enjoy it and they have variation and try to out duel the batsman, and their performances are consistent and on the rise, whereas with Shoaib Akhtar, he really has not improved much and has been prone to injury problems, and in my view has a negative impact, I am glad that Woolmer has said that 'if you odn't fit the bill' you won't get selected. I think seeing the others playing their heart out is a much better sight, than a bloke running in from 30 meters and throwing a ball as hard as he can, australia have already shown time and time again that that does not work, thats what Brett Lee used to do and he really did not play then, since he has worked on line and lenght and geting the ball to swing and suddenly he looks like one of the best. Shoaib needs an extended time in the sidelines and in my view play out this QEA season with Rawalpindi. With Sami, i would say that he is learning and i reserve my judgement on him at this time.
