"Controversially Your's" by Bad Boy Akhtar

An autobiography of Pakistani stump-wrecker Shoaib Akhtar, who holds the
record for the fastest delivery in cricket ever clocking 161.3 km/h
(100.2 mph), will offer revealing insights into the game, its
intricacies and highs and lows - inside the dressing room and outside.

The book, unveiled by HarperCollins-India will arrive in the market in September.
Akhtar, nicknamed 'Rawalpindi Express', took time off from his schedule
to co-author the book with Anshu Dogra, a researcher, journalist and
writer, said a spokesperson for HarperCollins-India.

The bad boy has stirred up a storm by saying, for example,

Sachin and Dravid are not match winners

Wasim Akram tried to ruined my carrier

I did ball tempering ICC must allow ball tempering

Lalit Modi and Shahrukh Khan cheated with me

In his book Shoaib has said, "I bowled (Sachin) a particularly fast ball
which he, to my amazement didn't even touch. He walked away! That was
the first time I saw him walk away from me-that, too, on the slow track
at Faisalabad."

Taking a dig at veteran Indian batsman Rahul Dravid, the former
Pakistani stump-wrecker has said that The Wall and Master Blaster are
not match winners.

"I think players like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid weren't exactly
match winners to start with, nor did they know the art of finishing the
game," Shoaib said.

In his autobiography, Akhtar has also alleged that he was cheated by Shah Rukh Khan and former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi.

He states, "Shahrukh and I talked about my not being happy with the
money settled on me. Shahrukh and Modi got me to agree. I should have
never listened to Modi and Shahrukh."

Akhtar, who retired from cricket following the 2011 World Cup, has also
shockingly revealed that he tampered with the ball claiming, "everyone
tampers with the ball. I did so too. Tampering should be legalised."

'Controversially Yours' shies away from little in Akhtar's life. It maps
his journey from an economically deprived, yet happy childhood, into an
adolescence driven by his quest to break into Pakistani cricket. Born
flat-footed, suffering whooping cough, Akhtar describes the blood, sweat
and tears that took him to breaking the 100 mph barrier, playing as
Pakistan's 'Rawalpindi Express'.

ANY ONE GOING TO READ IT??

It would be a good read but I suspect from reading that preview its going to be somewhere between rose tinted self agrandisment and holocaust denial.

i think it would be intresting to read, but not suprised by some of the revelations, especially, about the cheating and match fixing..

but on his day quality bowler.

Could be a very interesting/controversial read, this one. Always liked Shoaib, fiery character with some serious pace.
