Another blow…
Re: Inzamam’s name removed from ICC award list
This is probably to justify his exclusion from the SuperSeries ODI team. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if a player won the ODI Player of the Year and he wasn't in the SuperSeries team.

ICC cuts awards shortlists
PTI
September 28, 2005
The shortlists for the ICC Awards has been narrowed down, with the top Indian players falling out of the race. Rahul Dravid, who won the inaugural award for Test Player and Player of the Year last season, fell out of the reckoning.
Also slipping out of the running are Dravid’s team-mates Virender Sehwag, Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh who were all nominated in the Test Player of the Year category. Dinesh Karthik remained the lone Indian hope in the Emerging Player of Year section after the ICC pruned the list of nominations.
“Of course I am disappointed. But then we have not had many matches this season, obviously performance matters,” Kumble told a media conference to announce the shortlist. “Personally I can do only what I can do, selection is not in my control.”
Andrew Flintoff remains in contention for the ODI Player of the Year award, which he won last year, while also being nominated for the Player of the Year award. Adam Gilchrist still features in three categories while Shane Warne, Test cricket’s leading wicket-taker, remains in the running for Test Player award.
Besides the players’ awards, there would also be team awards for Test and ODI teams of the year and Spirit of Cricket Award. The ICC Awards will be announced in Sydney on October 11 in between the Super Series ODIs and Test match.
Kumble denied the upcoming Super Series would have lost a bit of sheen following Australia’s defeat in the Ashes series. “I don’t think so. Playing Australia in Australia is a tough proposition, they are still a good side. All the matches in Ashes were close, they will come back stronger.”
Kumble said matches involving multi-national teams had their value. “It is an occasion to celebrate cricket itself. A player won’t get another opportunity to play in a World XI. You are playing the very best and it is an opportunity to showcase your talent. It is also a totally different feeling to have those you have played against in the same dressing room.”
The shortlist of nominations for ICC Awards
Player of the Year Andrew Flintoff, Adam Gilchrist, Glenn McGrath, Inzamam-ul Haq and Jacques Kallis
Test Player Adam Gilchrist, Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Inzamam-ul Haq, Jacques Kallis
ODI Player Andrew Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen, Adam Gilchrist, Brett Lee and Andrew Symonds
Emerging Player Aftab Ahmed, Ian Bell, Dinesh Karthik, Kevin Pietersen and AB de Villiers
Re: Inzamam’s name removed from ICC award list
abay tum log kyaa tun ho???
inzimam shortlisted for ICC awards and zabardast bhai is claiming kay its a blow. Abay jahiloo shotlist ka mutlab dictionary may ja kar check karo. The list wa furthered narrowed down and inzi is still in that list.
Re: Inzamam’s name removed from ICC award list
LMAO! 
Re: Inzamam’s name removed from ICC award list
Yeh log COMPLETE jahil nahi fkhan bcoz if Inzi was gonna win an award that would have been most probably ODI player of the year but his name is not in the list of top 5 contenders anymore so there goes the chance................But it's true that his name is still in the Test player of the year and PLAYER of the year.
Gavaskar and co have SAVED themselves from embarassment by dropping Inzi's name from the list, he deserved to be in the top 5 at least.
Re: Inzamam’s name removed from ICC award list
i think pietersen shud get the emerging player award and all the rest can be rightly given to flintoff....
Re: Inzamam’s name removed from ICC award list
^ that was just supposed to be a reason why inzi's name is not in the shortened list....
Re: Inzamam’s name removed from ICC award list
salaam...
my cousin drives a cab in australia, and at night hes a male stripper.
he gave inzi a ride from his hotel, inzi bhai is very upset at user zabardast, and says that he should not post in this forum anymore.
thankyou.

Re: Inzamam’s name removed from ICC award list
Friends I am trying to make sense of this situation.
In the schedule period of 2004 - 2004/2005, the statistics below provide the performance for Inzimam ul Haq and Adam Gilchrist. (I can only compare him to Gilchrist, because they are the only specialist batsmen in ODI nominees for awards, others are allrounders and bowlers)
Provided that Gilchrist is a great Wicket Keeper/batsman but I am persuming that he was nominated for his batting contributions.
Inzimam ul Haq 25 innings, 1137 runs, 4 not outs, 54.14 avg
Gilchrist 19 innings, 591 runs, 1 not outs, 32.83 avg.
Inzimam's batting was way superior during the given period, his avg will always be higher then Gilchrist due to so many not outs late in the order, but at the same time Gilchrist has had more opportunities to score runs since he bats up the order. I don't see the reason behind this decision.
