Quotes:
Before flying to Caribbean
Inzi: I cannot say we will win the world cup but we will try reaching later stage
Before pak V west indies
Inzi: We are desperately missing Shoaib, Asif and Razzaq
before Pak v Ireland
Inzi: We are missing afridi and razzaq
Conclusion: A bunch of players who are afraid of loosing cannot win you a world cup. Pak Team lacked self belief and motivation, they were down and out even before the first ball was delivered.
Inzi is a great great batsman, unfortunately it cannot be said about his captaincy. Some of the horrible decisions he took during that campaign:
Playing Rana against west indies
Dropping kaneria against Ireland
Not changing the opening pair in the match against Ireland
Not coming up the order
NOT LEADING FROM THE FRONT
Having said that the sole responsibility remain with cricket board for not selecting the right captain. Why the most senior player is handed over captaincy? why can’t we play smart like south africa did with smith and black caps with fleming?
phew! so whose the next captain? Younis, yousuf or… ???
