Whenever Inzmam hits a six towards leg side,u ppl must have observed that he goes so near to the stump..if we can observe it,why cant coach and Inzmam himself..so they paid the price for it atlast..
It was a simple mistake and we shouldn't be hard on him.
it's the first time he's been hit wicket. i'd associate that with bad luck rather than anything else. it's the first time so there's no technical flaw here.
Bad Luck for Inzi 
Without any doubt, he’s a great player :k:
Inzamam dismissal gave S.Africa win - Pollock
TANGIERS, Morocco, August 18, 2002 (Reuters)
Inzamam-ul-Haq’s unfortunate dismissal turned the Morocco Cup match in South Africa’s favour, their captain Shaun Pollock said.
"You need something to go your way when it’s so tense and that was the bit of luck we were looking for. It was definitely the turning point,"Pollock said after his team had booked a place in Wednesday’s final against Sri Lanka.
South Africa, who posted a total of 196 from their 50 overs, recorded an eight-run win against Pakistan in Sunday’s fifth match of the triangular tournament.
The contest turned in South Africa’s favour when Inzamam (41) hit a delivery from part-time spinner Justin Ontong over the ropes atmid-wicket, only to step back and knock the bails off his own wicket.
What should have been a six turned into a vital dismissal and Pakistan were plunged into trouble at 163 for eight wickets in the 42nd over.
South Africa’s veteran fast bowler Allan Donald agreed that Inzamam’s dismissal probably cost Pakistan a chance of victory.
“It was a freakish way to get out,” man-of-the-match Donald said. “But I’m a bowler and every ball that takes a wicket is a jaffa to me.”
Earlier, Shahid Afridi tore the South African attack apart after hitting a whirlwind 62 off just 40 balls.
“When Shahid Afridi was batting we just had to hope something would turn our way – we tried to make something happen but we were chasing leather for most of the time,” Pollock said.
Afridi blasted five fours and four sixes in his knock and Pakistan seemed almost certain to win when they reached 92 for two chasing a modest 197 for victory.
“We tried to give a single and contain him that way but he’s such a good ball striker when he gets going that it seemed impossible to stop him,” Pollock said.
Donald eventually had Afridi caught by wicket keeper Mark Boucher to drag South Africa back into the match, but when he dropped Inzamam on 19 their chances again seemed to disappear.
“I thought our chance had gone. We were desperate for something to happen and Allan doesn’t drop too many in the outfield,” Pollocksaid.
“I saw it all the way but it just hit my hands a bit hard…I don’t know what happened. I also thought I’d lost the match,” Donald added.
South Africa will play Sri Lanka in the last match of the group stages on Monday
It was a mistake, but why did he go for it ?? There was no need for it. He should be dropped.

Who are you? PCB head? And why you saying it was all Inzi's fault?

I am a fan - I like his batting (except his running between the wickets). and yes it was his fault - Pakistan needed to score less than 4 runs per over with 4 wickets in hand. Had he contained himself - pak would have won the match.

You are right at your own place. I expected batting from Imran Nazir. He collasped. And then we had Younis & Razzaq, duh!
Blaming Inzi is absoultely absurd.

from when playing Saeed Anwar became so funny.
I dont know about taking out Inzi, but Saeed should have played in this game....
Dropping Inzi would be like dropping dropping Tendulkur from the Indian team or dropping Gilchrist from the Australian.
He is rated as the 2nd best test batsman in the world and dropping him would be the last thing Pakistan would do.
I agree that he may not be as exciting as Anwar or Afridi but the guy has been the back bone of the team for the past decade.
Not such a great middle order batsman Pakistan has had since the great Miandad.
With the world cup right around the corner and having Inzi in the team who is probably one of the best when playing against fast bowlers.
He may not be the great runner between the wickets but then again other great cricketing greats like Aravinda de Silva, Boon (aus) and even great like Viv Richards weren't that good while running between wickets.
If the reason to drop him was because of his fitness would be the stupidist decsion ever made by the Pakistani selection committee.

Jab se Afridi became next richards :D
Umair - First of all, I am not talking about Inzamam's batting technique - I have seen the guy bat a no. of times and know what he is capable of. Nor am I talking about his TEST performance. In ODIs where every run is important - It's not good to have a player who averages one Run out every 2nd/3rd match (Either he himself gets out or involved in one). I have seen the guy refusing to take a quick single so many times. Fielding wise he is just a burden on the team. Why should he be kept in the team then ??
Tomorrow If a Sachin Tendulkar does the same he should also be dropped (Remember Sanjay Manjrekar - the guy was dropped simply because of his poor running ).
Inzi is best at slip
and if pakistan can keep him in thet team for so long, with his slow running and all
there is no reason to drop him now

Well, I think you should really ask that from Asif, who just said Saeed Anwar played against SA yesterday :p

Let me ask you. Who are you to tell us who should we drop and who not?
Inzi is the best. It was Inzi who made Pakistan into the finals of WC 99.
Again, he proof as a backbone of the Pakistani batting side.
