Re: Pakistan announce World Cup 15
There is no such thing as flawless captaincy, if that was the case than Imran Khan should have won 2 or 3 World Cups instead of one and Wasim Akram at least 2 instead of ’99 final. Thing is captain’s main job is to keep the team as a unit despite the controversy or strong opponent. If we look at our team, unity and self belief is not the problem, it is only the scandals and injuries that have kept us down and down was slipping to 4th position on last day of one day before world cup. Had we have our all players we wouldn’t be in those situations, we would not have lost test series against England and South Africa.
Common denominator between Steve Waugh, Arjuna Ranatuga and Imran is that they were all playing their last world cup when they won and till the end they made their team belief that they are still in the game. This world cup is going to be about it than anything else, if Inzi can make those players belief that no matter what happened in last 6-8 months, we are still in it and in it to win…we will go really deep in the tournament and that should alone certify him as a legitimate leader.
