"This fitness issue is not a new one - how fit were the players in the old days?" : Kamran Akmal

"We will be back!" - The Akmals.

This is what I imagine Umar and Kamran Akmal do in the gym.

Epic man

Disgusting statements. I will not support his selection again in any format just for these comments alone. Rana Naved and Shoaib Akhtar are his benchmarks for fitness, and a test conducted by 'Inzi bhai' himself. Wow.

I'm done with him.

I am sure he knows that his international career has ended for good. Will say anything he wants.

Fitness is important.
A fit easily saves you 10 runs on field which means 10 runs less when chasing.
A fit player can convert 1 run into two runs and if 10 players do that even once in the innings, it means 10 extra runs to defend.
A fit player can convert a half run out chance into out which means opposition player hesitiates to take singles which he would take easily otherwise.
A fit player is confident which gets reflected in batting or bowling eventually besides fielding.

In the past ,the Asian players did not take fitness correctly and thats why lost a ton of games by 10 run or 5 run margins.

Wonder if Akmal brothers know this.

someone should show him videos of Asif Iqbal, Miandad and Imran. A good start may be India's tour of Pakistan in 1978. They were as fit as today's top athlete when fitness was not an issue. How many matches Pakistan suffered due to Shoeib breakdown and Akmal brothers combined is not half as good as Shoieb? How many matches Pakistan lost due Inzy could not take doubles or the thirds and any day I would take Inzy in a 10 men team then an 11 men team with these two idiots.9
