    I haven't seen his re-modelled action. Is it still dubious? I have to be honest, I didn't spot him chucking it before he went in for corrective treatment.

    Murali, on the other hand, I still believe throws the ball.

    That's not right man. HeyP, you can tell him Pakistan Zindabad. It means long live pakistan. It can probably substitute for cricket.

    You really believe that, his arm can't completely straighten die to a childhood injury/malformation.

    I don't think he does!!!

    Actually, HP, you should say "Shoaib Akhtar - the chucker" and see what he says.

    OK,

    Big happenings. I walk in and no one else is there. I can tell he is just about ready to tell me "tonights the night" then I rip out a hands-above-my-head

    Show-IB Ack-Tar!!!

    He's stunned and speechless and eventually collects himself to say...

    "How you know!!"

    I give nothing away...and collect my "convenience items" to return to "how you know!" to once again raise my hands above my head to say...

    "Sha-Heed Aff-Ree-Dee"

    and we have a little longer conversation about young guy versus bowler....and I tried the "but he throws" thing, and the language gap might be wrong here.

    He mentioned Inzaman, and I said, he just fat though like Babe Ruth...he still have it.

    I need more ****. But come on you Pakistani's, all I got is these cocky Aussie's telling me to embarrass him. I need to mix it up. Come on, I need to make fun of the Aussie's (opps of the day) equally, in order to make fun of his players.

    And Don Grahamleone...sorry if I don't trust you.

    India and Pakistan both dont stand a chance at winning the world cup, Sri Lanka has more of a chance. These sub continent teams play much better in there own countries (pitches dont bounce as much).

    It will come down to Australia (my country :) ), South Africa
    and outsiders of West Indies and New Zealand.

    Don't worry about it. I don't know that much about the players, just how the game is played. I could help you with a few cus words if you need those, but other than that my Urdu vocab is quite small. To say goodbye is: khuda hafiz (Ku-Daa Aa-Fis) the Ku part is hard to break down because we don't have the exact sound. You can look that one up in an english-urdu online dictionary if you don't trust me.

    hehe, thought you were trying to feed me an insult to deliver. What is it with Aussie threads where I don't believe a word anyone says...although Bailey definitely delivered the proper phonetics to make my convenience store moment day.

    Tell him Brett Lee (an aussie) is a better and faster bowler than Shoab Aktar.

    Ask him about Salim Malik (pronounced as it is written) and say he is a disgrace to the game, which he is, they have had alot of trouble in Pakistan with players throwing games (Pete Rose) style and he was the main culbrit.

    Also tell him the food is better in India and they should stay out of Kashmere!!!!

    Brett Lee is a tosser and not better or faster than Shoaib.

    he is the weak link in the Aussie team.

    Damn I can't wait till its 1:30 over here.

    I haven't been this excited about a sports team in at least 4 years. Rockets and Cowboys have both stopped going to playoffs. This has to turn out in my favor. I mean I even derailed the Yankee Championship run after jumping on their bandwagon.

    the fastest bowler stuff is funny, Shohab is is likely faster, i actually hope Lee just bowls accurately and don't care about his speed, apparently the recording equipment that recorded them last year was dodgy, plus Shohab is a great guy and him and Lee are great mates.

    the whole of Pakistan are not cheaters, just half their cricket team a few years back (or didn't you read that you smarmy prat :p )

    GO Aussies Go

    Smeg tells me this is where the action is tonight. I would assume him to be correct if I understood a word you guys are saying. But alas, I don't add up to a Bush + Walton + Ainge sized brain lately.
