Akram said that Pakistani bowlers should focus more on performing well forthe team instead of worrying about how many times they have gotten aparticular batsman out.
You know in our times, when I played I didn’t bother with how many times Igot out who. It was the last thing on our minds. Nowadays, with stats,people know everything. But I, as a bowler, (worried about) ‘am I impactingthe game or not? Am I winning the game for Pakistan or vice versa?’ If not,that doesn’t matter if I’ve got him seven times.
