Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar continues to hit International Cricket Council (ICC) with bouncers after posting a video of himself troubling batsmen with his pace. Shoaib Akhtar's latest response comes after ICC trolled the former cricketer for his comments on getting Australia's star batsman Steve Smith out in just four deliveries even now.
Shoaib Akhtar had earlier claimed that even today, after bowling 3 bouncers to Steve Smith, he can dismiss the Australian on the fourth delivery. As a result, the ICC used an image of Michael Jordan looking at the tweet and then bursting out in laughter. Shoaib Akhtar's comment on Steve Smith came after ESPNcricinfo paired 10 retired cricketers with 10 current superstars in a tweet and questioned the fans on which contest they would like to see take place.
A symbolic tweet, how ICC has thrown neutrality out of the window.
