    I never got the chance to see him play apart from videos on YouTube, so I hope to see him against England in the Summer, he is 34 years of age now, how do people think he will go down this time?,

    will his pace keep up?, I wouldn't have thought so but it would be great to see if he does keep the 100mph balls :D...

    Can't see him being anything but a shadow of the player he used to be. I also can't help thinking the words "wasted potential" whenever I hear his name.

    I can't help thinking the words "genital warts" whenever I hear his name.

    That might just be the way your mind works, Bobo!! :D

    That particular incident, though, says more about the Pakistan Cricket Board and their approach than anything else - did they really need to spell things out quite like that? They could have simply said he had an illness. It's been done before.
