Shoaib Akhtar criticises batsmen-friendly bias

Pakistani paceman Shoaib Akhtar has hit out against what he sees as a bias towards batsmen in modern cricket, according to BBC Sport.

“Cricket should be about fast bowlers, not batsmen,” said the fast bowler. “Spectators,” the fast-bowling star added, “like to see fast bowlers running in, hurting people, and pitches that make batsmen struggle for runs.”
