Shoaib Akhtar clarifying reports on TV:

"Had he not been there for me in the late 90s, I would not have been able to play for Pakistan"

"At the same time, I can say with guarantee that in such difficult matches where I had to raise my hands (in surrender); let me give a reference of one match, at Headingley where Damien Martyn was playing me with ease; There Wasim Bhai took the ball from me; In Jamshedpur also he took control of the ball and started taking wickets"

"So there were many such periods of time where I could have been in trouble and my performance would have resulted in a loss for Pakistan but he saved me"

"For me Wasim Bhai is the greatest Pakistani cricketer the world has ever seen; By far he is the most honest guy I have ever played with"

"This is my take and I am gonna stick to it and I am sure I will send this message accross"

"Regarding my comment that I would have destroyed Wasim Akram if he had approached me to get involved in corruption. I said, only if he would have approached me, but let me make it clear that he did not. I request people to stop spreading fake news"

"If he hasnt done that, then what is the point (of saying it)"

This is what I say to people and on TV that I did not see nothing wrong and had I would not believe this unless I had seen from my eyes; People can say what they like, I have nothing to do with it"

"For me Wasim Akram is the best cricketer and the best captain and the mentor for all of us, all of the youngsters who played with him"

"So thankyou Wasim bhai, bohat shukriya and please dont spread wrong news"

Either this man is too smart for his own good or he is really a dumb ***. Clickbaiting titles for this videos. I mean what is the point of this verbal diarrhea right now.

How about you would have been more of an "insaan ka bacha" and would have played more matches.
 
Lol Shoaib never learns does he or he does it deliberately? He should by now know that any word that comes out of his mouth, even if he sincerely has no intention of making it a big headline will be pounced upon by the media and be portrayed into something huge. First the Danish Kaneria episode, then the Mohd Asif is wasting his life away, now the Wasim Akram wrong doing comments.
 
If Indians are gullible & watching/clicking likes on his videos then fair play to him (more daal Roti on his table) its not as if me & u are paying tax on it!!
 
Isn't he the same guy who claims it was him against 21 players because all of his team was corrupted?

Enough of these videos and sucking up to others. Had it not been for Freddie, my career would be over. Had it not been for XYZ, my career would be over so thank you.

He keeps on making stories as he goes and starts believing them as well. Best one was I didn't even know who Sachin was when he came to bat in 1999 :akhtar
 
I intend to report his page and get him banned, can we do that, because its one thing to use Youtube for own content, its another thing to claim stupid things about Pakistan like Match fixing and discrimination, anyone else up for that?
 
Fastest bowler in the world posts like a 12 year old girl, kinda embarrasing. I unsubbed him long time back
 
In the words of a former Pakistan team-mate of Akhtar's - "Shoaib speaks so much rubbish with confidence"
 
Who would approach this Drama Queen to do something corrupt knowing how he would probably boast about it to his mates.

This guy is a dangerous person to be around lol

People attend courses for that - he does it naturally so needs to be appreciated :D

hahaha hilarious, come on guys give him a break, we all knew how much of a drama queen Shoaib was in his playing days, hes just using it to his advantage now with the youtube videos with added bollywood spice. Just watch it with a pinch of salt and enjoy, the people complaining about this and that, the very fact your talking about it or giving it a view means your contributing to it, if you dont like them just ignore them.
 
For those wondering why Akhtar had to make that video :

Would've killed Wasim Akram if he had asked me to do match-fixing: Shoaib Akhtar

KARACHI: Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar made a stunning claim, saying he would have taken Wasim Akram's life if the latter made an approach regarding match-fixing.

"I was watching few matches of the 1990s and I was amazed to see how Wasim Akram got Pakistan through impossible situations with his brilliant bowling," Akhtar as said during a television show.

"I will say it very clearly that if Wasim Akram had asked me to do match-fixing, I would have destroyed him or even kill him. But he never said such a thing to me," he added.

The Rawalpindi Express also thanked Akram for supporting him during the early days of his cricketing career.

"I played with him for seven to eight years and I can quote many instances where he gave me cover by taking the responsibility of picking up the top-order wickets while leaving the tail-enders for me," said the 44-year-old.

"He even let me bowl from my preferred bowling even though he had a lot more wickets that I did," he added.

Akhtar represented Pakistan in 46 Tests, 163 ODIs and 15 T20Is in which he scalped 178, 247 and 19 wickets respectively.

Akram, on the other hand, played 104 Tests and 356 ODIs in which he bagged 414 and 502 wickets respectively.

Imagine if WA was selfish how many wickets would he have gotten maybe at Glenn M level
 
Pakistan's former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar came out in defence of his former captain Wasim Akram and took to his Youtube page to quell rumours regarding Wasim approaching him with an offer to fix matches.

"I don't know how it becomes breaking news even though I never such things. Wasim Akram, the greatest fast bowler, never approached me to fix matches," he said.

Bangladesh beat Pakistan in their first-ever World Cup campaign with the Pakistan team being captained by Wasim and the team brimming with confidence and lots of talent. Shoaib said that while it was a shock to lose, the biggest shock was the accusations that followed.

'When we lost to Bangladesh [in 1999 World Cup], there were a lot of growing voices saying that we lost the match consciously. I was bowling so fast in that World Cup. I don't know how we lost but how can people say that we lost knowingly? I don't understand that," Shoaib said.

"I don't know how such allegations can surface [regarding Wasim].

"I played with him for so many years and I can quote many instances where he gave me cover by taking the responsibility of picking up the top-order wickets while leaving the tail-enders for me," said the 44-year-old.

"He even let me bowl from my preferred bowling end though he had a lot more wickets than I did," he added.

"The youngsters in the team all used to hangout together all the time and talk about things. Never have anyone ever even thought that Wasim bhai would approach with something like that. I am not ready to believe such a thing as I have never seen it with my eyes or heard anything of that kind.

"I think some truths need to be told. I have never seen a more honest, hardworking person captain since Imran Khan. He would go through so many pain for the sake of the team.

'There have been so many matches I've played in where Wasim Akram changed the game's complexion with his bowling just like that. He would single-handedly make us win. Now there is newspaper reports suggesting something but there has never been any approach to begin with. I would not have left him alone if he did approach me with offer to fix. I am an outspoken person and I would not just leave things be."

Not a very sensible comment from Akhtar.

I can imagine he received a call from Wasim today, telling him to cut out this nonsense and hence the video changing his tune.

What scares me is that him and Wasim are very close friends. They hosted a game show on Geo a few years ago. If Shoaib can talk so carelessly about his friends like this on tv, others have no chance.
 
Akhter needs to start putting his brain into gear before opening his mouth

Hes 45-46 yrs old and not a child now
 
Something that will land him in hot water one day.

If he was from another nation, it would have already happened with his Danish Kaneria comments.
But we as a nation let a lot of 3rd rate nonsense pass through while clinging on and even riot on miniscule statements and stuff.
