I don’t usually open threads, much less in the cricket forum, but I feel the need here as I believe bichara Inzi has been criticized far too severly in the past. All sorts of people, ranging from crickters, fans and even cricinfos very own Kamran Abassi, have been critical of his mindeset and even ability as a captain.
Just out of the storm of controversies, one-down in the series, missing Umar Gul and now both Shoaibs, he has definately had unenviable luck. Yet, in this second Castle Test, he has shown that he is precisely what his detractors claim he’s not, a captain among captains.
It’s never easy to push the South Africans, particularly in their own backyard, but Inzi has been doing just that for three days now. The first day, his decision to introduce Kaneria early into the attack may be the very factor that began the demise of their innings. On day two, he crafted a beautiful, captains innings, masterfully sheilding Asif, to bolster the lead twofold. And today, he expertly juggled the bowling options to thawrt the South Africans coming back at him with conscientious plans to gain a big lead.
Just because he doesnt shout or scream, or boast any unnecessary expressions, or badmouth or stare down the opposition, doesnt mean he has a NEGATIVE mindset. Everyone likes fighting spirit, but some people just expect it to be on display for it to be there, but really, its the results that show how much you’ve fought and Inzi has good enough stats as captain to have the fighting spirit of a charging bull with the red flying flag in it’s eye.
He is (wrongly) criticized alot, his speed between the wickets, his size, the spectator fight incident, the oval farce and allegations of being a cheat, being negative, docile etc etc. All of it is bull in my opinion. He’s our captain and I reckon he’s one of the best, no, the very best, to ever boot up and take guard infront of the five willows. So lets hear it people!
