Both of them are paying the price for neglecting their fitness earlier in their careers. Shoaib though is beyond compare.Yeah. I mentioned a few weeks earlier that Zaheer seems to be taking lessons from Shoaib Akhtar on how to become unfit.........seems so true now.
Zaheer was overweight too. Can never forget a fat, limping Zaheer bowling 120k in an ODI, probably in SL and around 2004/05.
Could be. He wasn't taking the required care and it could have had long-term effects.
Haha. Well it will ease some of the disappointment with him knowing he didn't bring it on himself.Come on, a groin strain is related to being fat 5 years ago?
I am not a physio, someone qualified to clear my doubt.
He is in much better shape currently than he was half a decade ago, but he could do with some slimming. I am no fitness expert, but I would be surprised if his groin injuries didn't have something to do with his weight.
If Zaheer Khan does miss the first test - he still has not been ruled out - then a fast bowler should take his place. Pragyan Ojha is an okay bowler, but two spinners on South African pitches would be a waste (unless India play five bowlers).
I believe India u19's also won a 4 day series there against the south african counterparts with Unadkat doing quite well.
what's 606???
Definitely Shoaib is beyond compare, which is why I said that Zaheer is taking lessons from him

No I think it is more frustration at not being able to score. Most Indian batsmen love dominating the spinners and when they bowl negative lines they tend to get frustrated and do something stupid.
