Re: Inzimam retires from One Day cricket

The writing has been on the wall for Inzi for quite some time now. Its been nearly 25 matches since he scored a ODI fifty. So I think its was time for him to go but I dont know about whether it was the right time considering the death of Bob Woolmer just hours before.

The sad thing is Pakistan never groomed a #5 batsman. Maybe Fawwad Alam's time to shine now.

its about time

Re: Inzimam retires from One Day cricket

His time was up but a great servant for Pakistan cricket, one of the best batsman produced by Pakistan. He may not be as enigmatic the Imran or the Wasim, Waqar or even Afridi but as a batsmen he had class. Inzi in flow was treat to watch, had so much time to play the ball. Although he hadnt contributed with the bat latley and well he never really did contribute with his captaincy I would still miss seeing the big man on the field in the slips, picking his nose or playing with his beard.

Unfortunate time to go but great batsman nevertheless.

Re: Inzimam retires from One Day cricket

Inzi is a legendary batsman but his captaincy left a lot to be desired, he should have timed his retirement at a time when he was at his peak, he will always be remembered as one of the greatest batsman pakistan has ever produced. As long as he batted well all his captaincy blunders were not exposed, as soon as he stopped scoring runs he was criticized for both his batting and captaincy

Fans like you sicken me. Score more than 18,000 international runs for your country, win a world cup, and then come back and run your mouth. How have you serviced your country, since you seem to love Pakistan so much?

Re: Inzimam retires from One Day cricket

maybe it was the time for him to retire as captain, but I think he could still play as a batsman for a few years and be an inspiration to the youngesters and help groom them..with demands of cpatainsy off him he may have been able to do more as an individual contributor, and as a mentor and influencer. I will miss him.

Re: Inzimam retires from One Day cricket

A great batsman and the nicest man in cricket today- Inzi I salute you!!!
I just wish Inzy wud never have accepted captaincy- his legacy as a pure batsman would have been much greater then. Wish Inzy didn't have to face the terrible loss of his coach in the twilight of his career

Re: Inzimam retires from One Day cricket

This is exactly what I wanted to say. I am amazed not many people here have brought it up.
Now Cricinfo is saying it :
Timing of retirement announcement Insensitive
http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/current/story/286053.html

I mean the cricketing world is mourning the loss of Woolmer…and here comes Inzi…“Oh by the way, I need some attention too. I am retiring…”. How insensitive is that ? I mean it wouldn’t have killed him to wait another 2-3 days to make the announcement.

Re: Inzimam retires from One Day cricket

For those who are rejoicing at Inzi's retirement, who out there from the domestic cricket will replace? None of the domestic players are fit enough to shine Inzi's boots.
