No Doc,
I get it and surprised why you are on the other (dark) side still.

For all folks (who have nothing better to do),
1) What makes you think he hasn't trying to improve his skills? This accusation is bad unless you have certain proof. How many practice session has he missed for KKR, BD, Khulna, Abahani, Victoria, Wshire in the nets?

I remember only one instances where he wanted join the team later while coming from overseas and going to photo shoot. That is the only incident I can recall of his misstep on training.

2) What Law/Pont are talking about is totally different of what you guys are accusing of. They are talking about physical training to get better endurance, strength, stamina and may be speed in the off season. Well, last four years when did he have a off season?

Lazy? Come on, non-stop cricket for the last four plus years and he is lazy? Had he gained a bhuri like Tamim - Mashrafe - Ashraful - Alok you could have a small prayer.

Good thing he has the brains not to over burden his body which you want to impose on him. He is a BKSP product. He for one knows the value of training hard (and honing on new skills).

No BD player played half the matches Shakib played in last four years. He needs to keep his training shedule as minimal as possible in order to be fit for the next 10 years and not injure himself by over training and not much rest.

You have to understand when to train hard and when to back off. With non-stop cricket he is playing he needs to back off a little from the physical training that Coach Law suggested. Good thing his cricketing brains are thousand times better than the arm chair alrounders we have at BC.
