Inzy the warrior

Bismillah irahman nirahim , sabse pehle allah ka shukar !!
yeeeeaa is Inzy is a greats warrior.. is fighters.. is one of the best pakisthaan has produces !!

Inzamam-ul-Haq, the Sultan of Multan, plays shots all round the wicket and is strong off his pads, unleashes ferocious pulls and lofted drives. Early on he is vulnerable playing across his front pad or poking outside off stump. He uses his feet well to the spinners, although this aggression can be his undoing.( ref: his last innings).. Inzi keeps a cool head in a crisis and has succeeded Javed Miandad as Pakistan's premier batsman, but his hapless running between wickets is legendary and most dangerous for his partners.

He can be termed the silent giant of cricket.. So unassumingly slow and lathargic on the field, little does the opposition realize or feel the pace at which this grizzly bear scores.. He has scored well over 10000 runs in ODI and missed the chance of becoming the leading run scorer for PAK thanks to a rush of adrenaline leading to a silly stroke...

Inzy was one of those street cricketers in the Gallis of Multan, spotted by a great Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan. He did a Nostradamus by predicting that this bright young lad of 17 would one day strike Gold and become one of the best batsman of all time!

I think Inzamam is as talented as Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar but little does he realise his true talent-- Imran Khan

Inducted into Pakistan colours in 1991 through ODI format and made his debut in tests in 92.. 1992 world cup was a big turning point in his career, early in his career as it was, slimmer and fitter made some important contributions in the WC helping Pakistan lift the world cup under Imran Khan.. He has a whopping 83 half centuries in ODI, 2nd to score 10000 runs.. He retired scoring 11739 runs in ODI... Test match performances weren't that poor either... One of the very few to score a century in each innings of a game and to score a century in his 100th test... Fell agonizingly short of Miandad's record and a test average of 50 !!

Inzy after being dropped was picked for the series against SA, as a farewell series.. Needing 20 runs to surpass Miandad, was out for 14 in the 1st innings.. In the 2nd innings, scored 3 and then attempted to hoist Paul Harris over Long on for a six to achieve the feat in glory, only to miss the ball and get stumped... Out for 3 !!!

Every one of his knocks was a true Gem of its Own! Each one would be studded with his trademark square cutes, the fierce pulls, the dance down the track sixes, the odd risky single now and then, and of course the comical running between the wickets. He is on his day, the best batsman in the Pakistani team.

The reason he took more matches to score that many runs is simple: mostly he caused his own downfall. Suicidal run outs, disastrous strokes; laziness and lapse of concentration were the main reasons for him getting out more rather than the bowler bowling a great ball. Self-destructive he was; had he been more careful in his approach, we certainly would have seen more blows from the willow of this cricketer.

Had his share of controversies

1. v India at Toronto,1997 - assaulted a spectator. Banned for two one-day internationals, suspended ban of one further match.
2. v Sri Lanka,2000 at Karachi - criticising the attitude of the Sri Lankan players. Received severe reprimand.
3. v West Indies,2005 at Perth - for not controlling his players as captain. Fined 100 percent of match fee.
4. v India, 2005 at Bangalore - charging or advancing towards the umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing. Banned for one Test match.
5. v England - August 17-21, 2006 at the Oval - bringing the game into disrepute. Banned for four ODIs.
6. WC2007 ended with the death of their coach Bob Woolmer, and Inzy was also summoned for inquiry..
   

The biggest being the last one.. On Pakistan's 2006 tour of England, Inzamam captained a team that refused to re-enter the field, after tea, at The Oval after allegations of ball tampering from umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove. The umpires awarded England five penalty runs and the choice of a replacement ball, after ruling that Pakistan had illegally tampered with the ball.. During the protest the umpires, having tried to persuade Inzamam to come out of the dressing room, decided that the match could not continue. Upon returning to the field with his team,later, found both the England team and the umpires absent... After further discussions between both teams, umpires and cricket board officials it was eventually agreed that the match could not be restarted. Thus, Inzamam became the first captain in history to forfeit a Test match. Inzamam was later charged with tampering with the ball and bringing the game into disrepute..
