Very predictable answers. He is a very simple guy, which is the key to his success. He takes things easy and never let it go to his head.
I hated him '03 world cup, it was embarassing but not all was his fault the captaincy and pressure on him to loose weight was a factor too. After it, I think he came back even stronger and confident as a batsmen. How much is left in him is a big question, but I am sure this coming world cup he will make all the effort to settle scores and negate the image at '03 WC.
What I would like to see is Pakistan VS. Australia in WC, tight match, Inzamam facing Brett Lee....that is one memorable moment.
how come I forgot those innings.
