Thumbs up Akhtar on his way back....and expecting a war?
According to AFP, Shoaib is gearing up for a duel against the English fast bowlers in July.



Akhtar, who underwent twin knee operations in February, faces a fitness test in 10 days to determine his availability for Pakistan's tour of England starting next month. But has already resumed bowling in the nets.
"I am bowling at 90 miles per hour and thanks to Almighty Allah I am feeling no pain in my knees," Akhtar told AFP.
"I can't wait any more and when it's a tour to England it's fun.




I have always enjoyed playing against England and when a fast bowler plays in England he is all pumped up because conditions are ideal for him," said Akhtar.

"It would be a great battle because we have a world class bowling attack with Mohammad Sami, Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul, Rana Naved-ul Hasan and myself and they too have quality fast bowlers, so it would be like a pace war," said Akhtar.
