Akhtar and Asif out of world cup

Akhtar and Asif out of world cup...
Two more performers gone. But a clean Pakistan side will be playing..which is good for the game.

However, Pakistan is still a very strong side and they can still fight it out.They will miss Razzak though.

Doubts regarding real reasons for not sending them to West Indies. Fitness or Drugs?????

Mods: Just a request. This msg was posted in another thread before. Can we merge this thread with that (http://www.banglacricket.com/alochona/showthread.php?t=18998)? Too many threads popping up these days. Would be useful if that thread is also renamed to "Players out of WC", so that we can all reuse that and not open a thread for each individual player. It's getting unbelievably difficult to follow.

huge loss for Pakistan... but i don't feel bad for them because they are out because of drugs. I gave them the benefit of doubt before but not anymore.
