Another example of Inzy's INCAPABLE captaincy

"[...]He (Dilshan) blocked what was necessary and scored whenever the chance arose. Gul strayed short, he sliced him over point, Razzaq strayed down leg and he flicked him fine for the same.


The afternoon wore on, the pitch eased up, as did Pakistan and Inzamam, allowing the game to gently begin a drift away from Pakistan. Instead of bringing in Asif after lunch as the situation demanded, he persisted with a tired Gul and a flat Razzaq. Time and runs ticked by and the more the game waited for Asif, the more it seemed only he would take a wicket. Sure enough, when he came back, over two hours after his last spell, he struck off his fifth ball back, inducing Maharoof into cross-batted rashness. The decision from Inzamam was two hours too late though the wicket sparked the collapse of the tail, with Danish Kaneria cheekily picking up three wickets, including that of Dilshan for a heroic 69. 185 was more than Sri Lanka could have hoped for, but eventually looked a lot less than they would have aimed for."

====================================cricinfo.com== =====================

Pakistan could have taken their lead to around 100 (or more) if SriLanka would have been all out for 70-100 on the 2nd Day instead of trailing by 9 runs after 1st innings. I know 185 is not a big total but it could have been less... just to boost the confidence of pakistani batsmen. After Pakistan was on 3-28 there thought that they wont reach a big lead.
IF inzamam knows the batting of his team is not in full strenght but the bowlers are in very nice form he just has to use their full potential.

There is no doubt that Inzamam is a great batsman (best pak ever had) but as a captain he lacks the killer-instinct. If an all-rounder or a bowler would have been captain in this situation lankans wouldnt have reached 80 runs. getting 185 from 32-5 is an very good performace but was just possible because of razzaqs and guls tired bowling.
even younis khan is more agressive then inzy. ive seen him running around, telling players what to do, clapping and shouting to bowlers that they are doing well. inzamam has NEVER done something like this throughout 5 days of a testmatch.
This wasnt the first time the big falla did this mistake and propably it has cost pakistan the match. and even if he bats a century in 2nd innings (which i dont think will hapen coz of his his bad form at the moment)...the fault remains!

Have ur thoughts guys.


cheerz

We've already discussed this topic to the death. I don't think that anyone can go and change his nature of captaincy now.

i knw bro i completely agree with u but oh well tooo much politics in paki side so who knows whts going on. haha my theory after loosing thw world cup we gotta kick some1 out of the team and take the blame.... THE DEFENSIVE CAPTAIN INZI

Not every captain is the same...some are loosy goosy like younis khan and some quiet like INzi....plus how can you argue aginst his track record.....did u know he has the highest winning percentage as a captain in the world right now after ponting?
i am very fed up with all the inzi bashing to be frank....it sickens me that up until the first odi against india inzi was the man , he was the best....now pakistan is struggling, he is being made the scape goat.....
i dont care how he leads his team as long as they win whether it is by 1 run or 1000....a win is a win and he has won more often than he has lost and at the end of the day that is all that matters!

Man u are right inzi does have a grt record but whats past is gone and now we have to start looking at the future thats why everyones worried. Inzi hasnt played an innings of substance since the england tour both in odis and tests. His last hundred was against india in faisalabad on a dead track and since then nothing. Even the test victory against india was under younis khans captaincy. His defensive mindedness has crept into the entire team and the body language of the players today was just like there were 11 inzis on the field. There was no encouragement apart from younis even a guy like kamran was inziesque which is not good.

yep i said that b4 its like he doesnt know wht to do when things go bad. doesnt know how to maotivate the team haha he looks like a big teddy bear standing in the middle...

No advertising. Please read the forum rules before posting. Thank you.

yousuf or younis should be pak captain

Funny he is just a teddy bear but how come he has scored soo many runs for his team and led our team to some glorious victories.

because he is a great player if not the best player to play for Pakistan....But he is not a good captain.

yea he did this when he was on his prime. HE IS A GREAT BATSMAN but not a good captain thts all iam saying. Just watch the game, he looks lost when things r not going his way. When kaneria got a wicket yesterday, he didnt even look excited. he is the captain he should be the first 1 to CONG the bowlers not YK jumping, hugging and smiling. its simple players follow the leader but if the leader looks confused in the field thn how u gonna win the battle????

yup you are very right

bro thats what i said he is the best batsmen produced by Pak, but a bad Captain. he has no quality of a great captain...name me one quality that Inzamam shows that proves he is a good captain...just one...

Well i agree that he is not a great captain but certinely he is also not a lalo panjo captain. Really buddy i have seen inzii captain under pressure cooker situations and he knows how to handle them. People tend to have short memories, after all it was his great captaincy which led us to victory in Banglore and in Multan. Well inzii is not that sort of guy, if someone gets a wicket he goes upto him and congratulates him. Its just not inzii's trait to be jumping up and down when a bowler gets a wicket. Well he maybe looked confused to you but certinely he does not looks confused to me. Its just that pakistan's fielding is soo horrible that inzii becames tensed and tries different things that is why he might look confusing to you.

this has been discussed a million time...dont have the energy to go over it again

Have to agree with most people who are saying Inzi is not a good captain. He's very good as a batsman, but his batting and the fact he's a senior member of the team alone should not have been enough to hand him the captaincy. Instead of criticizing Inzamam alone, questions should be raised against PCB management( a bunch of idiots) who have assured Inzamam captaincy until the world cup knowing Pakistan need an agressive captain and not someone who does not even know the rules of the game.
