Is Shoaib "A Man Or A Machine"

In the future robots may be play cricket.At that time man will get more fun in the cricket.But I think the process is getting started.I say this seeing the match between bd and Pak.Shoaib(think him robot)played with bangladesh.We saw that he will play like a simple bowler.I think is it true?May be the programmer of Shoaib made a great mistake in his chip.But after launcu the programeer realize their mistake and did some change in his chip.Then what happened after the launch we all saw that.It also continued the next day.All for this I think Shoaib must be a Robot(3rd grade).

:mad

People say some thing about that.Help me to prove that he is not a robot.

Hey Nasker,

I talk about Shoaib.But When bd palyes against India Bd was not lose their wicket in the first innings.All player palyed good in the first innings.But at this stage Bd was alout 361.Althuogh they was 310/2 at a moment.

Shoaib is not that good, we proved it in the first day. It was our players who gave the wickets away, made Shoaib look that good.

It is simple inexperience. They play one good innings, and lose all concentration, get impatient.

BD players have talent, that is clear now. Dav has to work on the mental toughness, that is what lacking.

Personally, I think it is good. Growing the mental toughness can be taught, but if it was talent that was lacking, we would be doomed, as talent cant be taught.

Our team didnt get much time for practice since Dav took over. It is one series after another. Once the England serise is over, we will get 2 months for uninterrupted practice. Losing concentration after a good innings is not big of a problem to me.

I remember the practice matches BD played where the bowlers were bowling and batsmen had to score a target set by the coach. IF Dav makes them play 20 practice match against themselves where they have to bat to beat the first innings everytime, I think the players will get used to it.

All Dav needs is some time to practice. Its just a matter of time now.

Shoaib is only a man, but our players are not - our players are machines who do not have any ambition, any desire to achieve anything.

Not a robot, not a man. Simple as that.

Shubho:

Are you saying that Shoaib is a giant among men. Or has he a dark side?

Rajputro u r right.

I also think that Bd will be a good team if they get Dav for many years.But how it be happen.Our Committee do not give a lot time 2 make a player good.They think that If bd palyed bad then they remove the Coach and then again appointe a new coach.Its not fair both the team and us.If they give many chance to Dev it will good both player and us.

thxzzzz
