Re: Inzamam’s “tactics” on the field, his tradition of utilizing “innovation” and more…
I also would very much like to believe what you have said. Certainly it makes sense. But in reality things are different. I still remember that atrocious decision to take the light in New Zealand, his asinine obstructing the field dismissal, his persistence with Arshad Khan at all costs. Zero imagination shown in taking powerplays. His bowling decisions, remember Razzak’s last over in the final ODI against England? But he is new to the job, he is learning.
My guess is that Woolmer is behind most of the innovation that does go on. Sometimes the way Inzi captains it’s as if he has a tried and tested formula for doing things and he is determined to follow it regardless of the situation.
His ability to inspire and lead is not questioned, certainly he handled all the players well and has the respect of the team. But I for one would certainly love seeing some more imagination and flexibility from him.
