Re: Shoaib Akhter - Dilemma ends (Merged)
[quote=“Saby”]
Inzimam did NOT have any problems with Moin at all. Infact Moin got an extended run last year despite horrible results because Inzimam didnt like to drop him. Moin was dropped (and rightly so) because of his horrible form. And he was picked in provisional squad on the insistence of Inzimam and only dropped later by Ad-hoc committee on the advice of selection committee.
Why are we dragging moin in shoaib’s thread:rolleyes:
Anyways I agree that inzi didn’t back moin for his selection. When the team was selected on May 2nd, moin’s name was not there and at that time some one from PCB or the selection commiittee admitted that when we called inzi who was in Abu Dhabi and asked him if he agrees with the team, he didn’t stress for moin’s inclusion in the final side. Couple of days later PCB said that the provisional team which was given to PCB Adhoc by Wasim bari for final selection never included moin’s name. Salim altaf said that I am very pleased that PCB Ahoc didn’t make any changes to the side which we gave to them. So the dope boyzz in the selection commiittee didn’t remember that the provisional side which was announced by them on April 30th did include moin’s name and everyone one was praising his come back. And by the way I don’ remember a horrible form of moin. He made a comeback to the side in 2003/4 and player 5-6 matches at an average of 40 runs which inclded a match saving century at hamilton.
As far as shoaib’s issue is concerned I would only like to say one thing. Before inzi’s controversial statement couple of days ago, everyone was saying that shoiab should only be included when he is fit. Immediately after that statement now we are only seeing comments that he should be in the side when he will not misbehave anymore. The point is most of the people don’t have their own say. When waqar younis said that shoaib has become fat at that time every one started calling him a fat pregnant shoiab as if there was personally there in the delivery room delivering his baby. Then inzi said that its not about his fitness but his attitude so everybody forgot his fitness problem and started saying that he should be in the side when he learns how to sit in the dressing room. How the hell some one can check that if he will not be taken along with the team. Then some one said that look at the team unity after shoaib’s excluson, before that there was no unity. So you meant that just because of 1 single shoiab 10 other people were not united , WOW what an impact by one person. The fact is inzi is the captain and leader of the side and its his responsibilty to manage his players. A true leader is one who can manage every type of individual under his leadership. Remember wasim akram said couple of days ago that I had no such problem with him under my captaincy becasue i knew how to handle him and use him. So its a very lame excuse and sign of a weak leader if he drops a player just because he cant handle a player or tolerate him despite the fact that he has got alll powers and most of the players are on his side.
