Akram fears Shah's celebration after dismissing Smith could backfire
Adelaide, Nov 29 Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah was in the news during the opening Test in Brisbane after he signaled seven having dismissed Australia batsman Steve Smith. The move was hinted at reminding the run-machine the number of times Shah has dismissed him in Tests. But former Pakistan skipper and pace spearhead Wasim Akram believes it was a mistake that could prove to be costly.
"You know in our times, when I played I didn't bother with how many times I got out who," Akram was quoted as saying by FoxSports.com.au on the eve of the second Test. "It was the last thing on our minds. Nowadays, with stats, people know everything."
