Shoaib Akhtar Back at his Best!!!

[MuchMore]

And why did he get hit for 52 runs against a company team, full of armature cricketers and such? 6 wickets is all well and good but if you get hit at close to 6RPO in a corporate match you're going to be flying all over the place in an international one.

Exactly my thoughts + He got 4 out of 6 wickets in the death against number 8,9,10,11. Not very impressive in my view.

He took 3/38 yesterday in 9.2 overs with 2 maidens.

yea in Pakistan domestic, which is like grade cricket in Aus or minor counties XI

It's not even Pakistan Domestic, it's a corporate game (I think, at least)

 

[shirazu]

This is not a corporate tournament, it is similar to the deodhar trophy in India. The standard is probably higher than standard FC cricket in pakistan, the best performers were picked into 5 one day sides. For example today's opposition features 5 players with Pakistan international caps. Obviously there's no guarantee any of these guys were actually trying, especially since it was a televised match.

After getting used to Indian domestic bowlers from watching too much IPL it's an odd feeling to watch a properly delivered yorker.
