Tendulkar’s legs shivered facing Shoaib Akhtar: Afridi
Afridi said Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar was scared of his pace, saying that he was a witness of “Tendulkar s legs shivering” in front of the Rawalpindi Express.
In his book, Controversially Yours, Akhtar wrote that Tendulkar was scared of his bowling, a comment that has caused furore across the border, forcing publishers to cancel all launch-related and publicity events.
When asked about Akhtar’s claims in his book, Afridi showed no hesitation in backing the former speedster.
“Shoaib is telling the truth. Tendulkar was afraid of him, and while fielding, I saw Tendulkar’s legs shivering while facing his bowling,” Afridi said.
However, the all-rounder added that it was not an unusual feature of a batsman.
“There are times when every batsman feels the pressure, it happens against Pakistani off-spinner Saeed Ajmal even,” said Afridi.
The former captain, however, was critical of Akhtar’s comments blaming Afridi for his omission from the 2011 ICC World Cup semi-final squad against India.
“Shoaib should remember that I apologised to the chairman and manager on his behalf and got him back into the national squad. While he hasn’t lied about other things, he won’t be able to look at me in the eyes after he’s said all that,” Afridi said.

Pakistan pace star Shoaib Akhtar is eyeing on the semifinal match between Pakistan and India. It will be great contest and lots of hope is also attached with 2nd semifinal match of world cup 2011. Shoaib Akhtar wants to play the match and perform well for Pakistan.

Farhan Akhtar to make film set in pre-independence period
Bollywood is mainly known to make period films based on real life events or mythological stories. Farhan Akhtar however seems to have some other plans.
The news is that Farhan is planning to make a period film! The director – actor went onto say that he is working on a script of a period film and that the film will not be depicting any historical events. Instead, it will be a fictitious story set in some particular period of the pre-independence era.
Rest of the details, as expected, are being kept under the wraps, thus setting the minds of the viewers to work overtime imagining the poster boy Farhan Akhtar in a period film!
