Hello Shoaib, I am from Uzbekistan. Though we don't have cricket in our country you are my favourite player. I don't understand why PCB is acting like this. To be honest, you are the man who makes Pakistan. I don't want to see any matches if you don't play. You are the best! (from Feruz Akobirov, Uzbekistan)
Thanks for your support.
Do you think that Ishant Sharma will be the next Shoaib Akhtar? (from C. Patel)
He has to be his own man, he has all the talent.
Hi Shoaib, your suspension is highly unfortunate. Pakistan still needs you. Will you be able to play with 100 percent commitment in the IPL after this sad incident? (from Subrata Roy, Kolkata, India)
I don't know any other way to play.
I recently heard on TV that you have been banned for five years....Oh My God. What is the PCB doing? I was very angry and just could not find a place where I can shout it. so I'm doing it here. I'm a big fan of yours. So what are you doing? Please appeal it, we are with you. (from Soda Kassana)
Let's see, thanks for your support.
Which fast bowler was your icon when you were growing up? (from A. Khan)
Imran Khan
Hi Shoaib, read aboub PCB's reaction regarding some of your actions on and off the cricket field during your recent tour of India. I think it's quite unfair to trigger you all the time for your actions even when it doesn't harm the team's performance or moral attitude. I personally think that everybody expects a lot from you and you are pinned when things go wrong. What you think? (from Madhuri, Ahmedabad , India)
I get along ok with the PCB but yes I do get a but irritated when people, not just on the PCB but ex-players and others, seem to expect me to win games on my own all the time. I have learned to live with it.
Hey Shoiab, I am a big fan of yours from Kolkata, India. When can we see you again playing at Eden Gardens? (from Anuradha Gupta, Kolkata, India)
Well obviously I just played a Test there so it may not be for a while now. It was a shame because I love the atmosphere there but unfortunately I was ill for this game. Who knows, maybe I'll play there at the 2011 World Cup there!
In the old days when India, Pakistan played there was more excitement when there were comments and gestures passed between players. Why are you boys SO SERIOUS now? Do you guys joke around with Indian team members in dressing rooms and private parties? (from Mariam, California, USA)
We do speak to each other, relations are quite good between us. I have good relationships with players like Sachin, Yuvraj and Bhajji.
What is your exect highest speed in km? (from Shiv)
I think it's 161kmh.
Just wanted to know are you really thinking of getting married or have I got the wrong information? (from Shalina)
I have no plans for marriage at this stage. I don't think it would be fair on my wife if I was married while I was still playing and travelling all over the world.
