   You misspelt fattest in your last post.

   Before Shoaib started using steroids, Brett Lee of Australia was the fastest bowler and after he used steroids, Lee was over taken by Shaun Tait of Australia.

   You must sacrifice a black goat to revive his career and your brain.

   Hend: It’s not like if he didn’t take those drugs he would be bowling spin. LOL. Be a man and admit that he is the world’s fastest bowler. Oh, I forgot, you’re not a man.

   Shakir forgot one important detail when posting
   “Pakistan’s Shoaib Akhter may still be the world’s fastest bowler (I remember he once bowled at more than 100 mph”

   This cheat was also banned for use of performance enhancing steroids. You can google his name with words ban and dope to see youself.

   Moderators please post this comment as it is not about religion.

   @Shakir: I googled cricket to learn something about it, and see now that there are lots of differences between it and baseball. (As a kid I played baseball, softball, football (American style) and basketball, off and on. My old High School now has a soccer field, a fairly new thing in the US.)
   I was under the impression that it was bowled underhand, as in our “bowling–“with a ball like a cannon-ball with finger-holes in it, but see that yeah, you could get some speed up with a stiff-arm overhand. I’ll study it some more.
   Baseball pitchers can bend their elbows, and use “knuckleballs” to prevent spin, and various other grips to impart curvature or high or low speed. And yes, Sir-ree, a good pitcher is worth his weight in gold; pitching a “no-hitter” is the goal, sometimes done by the best. Ball sports are huge fun when you’re young; I never really excelled at any of them, but I wasn’t the worst.
   My main physical sport now is bicycling (did you know that the fastest bicycle was a special streamliner that was geared so high it had to be towed to 100 mph before the pedaler could make it go, but maxed it out at 186 mph?!) I once hit 55 on a level road on a 1970 Steyr 10-speed; 100 miles in a day, no problem. No more 🙂 .

   James: there are two types of bowlers, the fast ones and the spinners. Fast bowlers frequently bowl (“throwing” a ball, as you put it) at speeds of more than 90 mph. Pakistan’s Shoaib Akhter may still be the world’s fastest bowler (I remember he once bowled at more than 100 mph, I’ve forgotten the exact speed). By the way, bowling is an art by itself, in cricket “throwing” is not allowed, as in baseball. You have to watch a cricket match to understand this. The spinners are sometimes responsible for victory or defeat, depending on the pitch and weather. Pakistan once had the best spinners in the world. As for playing the game, practically all Pakistanis (even those who study in religious seminaries or “madressahs”) play the game and are crazy about it. I was badly injured in the leg at age 16 and didn’t play much after that, and nowadays I don’t have time to watch a whole game, except of course on Sundays and holidays, but I still watch the highlights of the game which are telecast at night after the game is over. We even have a women’s cricket team which won against Ireland a couple of years back.

   Hey dude, that was third time someone asked you to be man-enough and shut-up.

   But you seem to be hell bent on proving that you are not. So fine, we all accept that. Now, will you shut-up? One more comment and you will be considered neither man-enough nor woman-enough.

   @Maddie: I never said anything about your writing. I only said that you should work on your comprehension skills. Now you need to get your eyes examined. As far as the cola is concerned, I expected you to know which cola I was talking about, but I should have known that a person who is only good at coming up with useless comments wouldn’t be able to figure it out.

   @Hend: You’re the one who started the abuse, so stop crying. Also, be man enough to admit the biasness of the ICC.

   Y’know, I wonder just how controllable the effects of ball-tampering really are. Seems like it couldn’t be much because the velocities are so low, so a lot of the so-called tampering techniques seem to be only so much show-boating to me, designed to get all the (you) armchair captains going.

   We don’t play cricket in the US, as far as I know, and I know very little about it, except that it’s something like our baseball, or rather, softball (a baseball is small, hard and fast, thrown overhand with great force at up to 90 mph; a softball is pitched underhand, a noticeably larger ball, at speeds around 50 mph.) Have any of you ever actually played cricket?

   Well Mohammad, looks like I was right…the man enough thing doesn’t work with you. Jeez, you are even worse than Afridi. He at least accepted his stupidity but didn’t shut-up. You on the other hand have neither accepted your stupidity nor do you shut-up. And you are still going on and on, apparently on an article which you don’t like and shouldn’t have been written by Hina in the first place.

   You know others do notice and find it funny how you jumped to my comprehension writing skills and my cola addiction (its vodka actually) when you couldn’t find any other arguments.

   Look mate, I’M VERY VERY SORRY for my comprehension skills (did that bring a smile to your face). You see I don’t write my comments in MS Word first and then go on a spell check spree. I just type them as they come and if there are a few typos, I care a damn.

   I’M ALSO VERY VERY VERY SORRY for my cola (again, it’s vodka) addiction, and for wearing black underwears, and for wearing my left shoe before my right one, and for brushing my teeth thrice a day, and for sleeping side-ways…

   Now will you be man enough to shut up or will all of us have to go through the torture of reading another one of your comments???

    @Hend: Shakir was right. You must have definitely been a parrot in your previous life. Cheating, cheating, cheating…stop repeating that and accept YOUR stupidity. No one has said that what Afridi did was right.
