Re: Inzamam in contention for Test series against SA: selectors
Sorry No more quick fixes......Border could still play but Aussie selectors didnt pick him for the sake of Aus cricket, So could Dean Jones and MArk Tylor and Michael Slater etc etc etc.........
I dont want to hear that Aussies have bigger pool f cricketers than Pak and thats why Aussie selectors could afford to keep Border out.......as we do not need to under estimate whatever cricketer we have......if they will be shielded by 35+ year old batsman.....and not thrown in deep waters, then why the hell are they professional crickets.??
Sorry No to Quick Fix, No to Inzi Bhai...and let Pak cricket grow on its own now
Did the Australian selectors keep Border out or did Border retire?
I don't understand the "too old" argument. Inzi is 35 and you want to drop him because he has only 1-2 good years left in him? What's next? Shoaib is 31 and has 1-2 years left so we should drop him too? Yousaf is in his 30s so he should be replaced by an 18 year old because we can expect another 12 years out of a teenager, but only 3 years from Yousaf. Among the "youngsters", Younis Khan and Yasir Hameed are close to 30 too, so we should immediately start cosidering their replacement. And Asim Kamal should kiss his dreams of playing again for Pakistan good bye because he's definitely over the hill too.
Afridi is getting a bit long in the tooth too at 27. Mohammad Asif is already 24 (middle age for fast bowlers).
You don't replace a player because he's old, but because there are better players who could be played instead. Name one Pakistani batsman who can fill Inzi's shoes and I'll be the first one to call for Inzi's exclusion from the team.
