Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
Well, yes, I am not blaming Inzamam for anything that he hasn't done, or taking away and tearing apart anything from him. Every player comes with a bag of strengths and weaknesses, and Inzamam is no different. While I do give all the credit in the world to Inzamam on transforming this unit into a winning combination, I do, however, criticize the way he manages "the boys" out in the field. What happened amidst Sehwag's dropped catch is a prime example. Inzamam would never have done such a thing, which I think is either being a bit too lazy, or just being non-responsive and playing deaf ears on the current happenings. A captain should be in contact with the fielders, at all times, sometimes going over to them, giving his encouragement, support, a pat on the back, I am sure we can count several thousand in this category. What Younis Khan did was a lively example, and that is precisely the reason why I am more inclined towards captains who are more 'active' and 'responsive' with their team-mates.
