Shoaib Akhtar is undoubtedly the fastest bowler in World Cricket today. It is always an exciting matter to see him in action. However, the recent time has not been sweet for him.

," the 31-year-old commented. England "Only after that will I know about my chances of playing in the World Cup."
I do not know what is happening to the fast bowlers in World Cup Cricket 2007. Brett Lee is out of the World Cup because of injury. Irphan Pathan is doubtful and now we have doubt about Shoaib. May be, today’s cricketers are playing too many Cricket matches and fast bowlers suffer the most. They should get more rest.
