PAKISTAN captain Wasim Akram has rapped young pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar over the knuckles for his part in their World Cup defeat by South Africa. He told the Sunday Telegraph that Shoaib, the fastest bowler in the tournament, had not bowled “according to the plan”. “At the death the best policy is to bowl full and try to deliver yorkers as often as possible,” Akram was quoted as saying. “He bowled a little short and the one over in which he gave 17 runs cost us the match. “I have made it clear to the boys that if they want to win they must be consistent and play according to a plan.” Akram was fulsome in his praise for Lance Klusener whose swashbuckling unbeaten 46 carried the South Africans to an unlikely three-wicket win at Trent Bridge on Saturday. “He has a very quick eye, picks up the length of a ball and dispatches it clinically into the gaps. He won a match that South Africa had all but lost.”
