Shoaib Akhtar practices with the team

In what can only be a good omen, Shoaib Akhtar had an informal practice session with the Pakistani team in their short one-day camp before heading off to Abu Dhabi for the two ODIs against India. Woolmer and Inzy's hearts must have been glad to see Shoaib moving around, and delivering a few deliveries in Lahore. Hopefully he can get a complete rest prior to heading off to England for a prolonged tour.
