Waqar: Shoaib Still Needs to Prove He can be Consistent

The Pakistan coach is proving to be a hard task master and Shoaib Akhtar had better stay on his toes.

Waqar Younis is not thoroughly convinced that the Pakistan fast bowler is back to his best. Though Akhtar picked up three wickets in a ten over spell that yielded forty-one runs against India in the first match of the Asia CUp 2010, Akhtar's repeated breaks back into the dressing room have had Waqar doubt how well Akhtar can be consistently relied upon.

He told reporters after the match, "Still he's got a long way to go. He has picked up three wickets which is good for us but I think he's not there where we want to see him. He's not the old Shoaib Akhtar we really want him to be."
