Sachin was scared to face me: Shoaib Akhtar- Was the match really fearsome?

Shoaib Akhtar’s recently published biography “Controversially Yours” has turned out be exactly the same like his bowling speeds.He has stirred yet another controversy by accusing batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar of being scared to face his scorching pace on a slow Faisalabad track.

The match mentioned by Akhar was a test match played between 21 - 25 Jan 2006. Sachin scored 14 runs in the match with a boundary off Akhtar. He faced three bowlers almost equally in the innings.

( Shoaib Akhtar - 11 balls, Mohammad Asif - 12 balls, Danish Kaneria - 10 balls)

Moreover,

Sachin stepped in at 75.4 Over. Akhtar came in for 79th Over.

Sachin Faced 3 balls of the 79 th Over, all balls of 81st Over (Scored 4) and his last 2 in 87th Over

    Akhtar has been most overhyped cricketer who was all talk and no action. He was not liked by even his captains and team mates. Now he is doing all this foolish talk just to create controversy to sell his book. No batsman can be not out in all innings and has to get out at some point of time. It is about to making runs and not getting out.

    He's smart to have found a way to include Sachin and Dravid's names in the book. He needed to engage the indian market and has done so in the only way Akhtar knows. He had everything and could have become on the world's best. But all he's done is become a recurring joke.

    A joke !!!!

    Nowadays whatever they write about Sachin is a "money spinning" for these ex-cricketers AND Sachin is the last man to reply all these.

    Shoaib was chucker, Ball tamperer, druggie and animal.All his "achievements"(if there are any) are sham.

    Shoaib's face is so ugly,maybe that's what he is trying to say.Probably that's why he thinks that Sachin was scared of him.
