Talk:Shoaib Akhtar

message: Strong POV in both directions in this article. I've slapped the  tag on the article. Anyone want to try and clean it up? Stephen Turner 13:10, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV 

message: I just added an ultra slow motion video of his bowling action. The action is suspect, and I think that the video should help people decide for themselves.

: I don't object to having a video, but isn't the contents of that video copyright? We shouldn't link to copyright violations. Stephen Turner (Talk) 12:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's actually a fascinating topic. The action appears suspect due to his hyperextensible joints. When he bowls, at that phenomenal pace that he does, his elbow actually bends backwards a little. He's not throwing, but there is greater variation in the angle of the elbow than for a person with normal joints. MrAngy 15:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I have just exorcised much of the bias from this article.  However, it is seriously lacking on the chucking controversy, and it would be good if someone could write something about this.  Sam Korn (smoddy) 15:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing information 

message: The sections on Performances and Controversies and Injuries say similar things about his life and the Performances section  details about Controversy and Injury to such a significant degree that they could easily be merged to solve the repetition or the Performances section should detail more specifically about his match performances: including figures and statistics. Which solution should be used to improve this articles useability?

thread_title: Ambiguity

message: This makes no sense to me: what does it mean? Led the attack? Shared it? What? Loganberry (Talk) 15:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Later in 2005 he fared a spirited bowling attack against Australia."
