So far, only one ex-cricketer has (partially) endorsed Shoaib Akhtar's claims. His name is Sarfaraz Nawaz. #ControversiallyYours

RT @KamranAbbasi: Are people quoting genuine quotes from Shoaib's autobiography? If so, it's a book full of typos. #ControversiallyYours

The more you discuss Shoaib Akhtar 's book the more money he is making. The book might be not even worth it.

Shoaib Akhtar also says Sachin is a great batsman. In the last 3years Sachin has been a complete match winner!

This Shoaib Akhtar autobiography is interesting. Initially it's a fast read, then it gets fat and then you just want to chuck it.

Dear Shoaib Akhtar, maybe Sachin and Dravid dunno "the art of finishing a match" but they surely know how to finish their career with grace.
