No Inzi on world xi

[Mr Cricket]

When the world xi go on to face Austrlia there team is missing a great player. A player called Inzmam ul Haq. Inzi was not selected I dont no why but maybe its because of former INDIAN captin Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar was the chief selector and I mean come on he didnt select INZI and selected England Mike Vaughn. Inzi is the heart of the pakistan cricket team. Not selecting him will hurt a great Pakistani and cricket fan. This could affect the game really much. I am still hopeing that INZI will some how play for WORLD XI. BELEAVE




P.S. DISSAPOINTED WITH GAVASKAR

This has already been dealt with on another thread. There's a reasonable case that Inzi is a worthy middle order bat to play in this side. On the other hand... he's up against Dravid, Tendulkar, Lara and Kallis... all of whom have done better against the Aussies.

Inzi vs Vaughan is one I'd rather see Inzi win... but the fact remains that Vaughan has proven far more adept at contributing a matchwinning innings vs. Australia than Inzi has been. Not hard given that Inzi has just one century to his name.

As before, I submit that Chanderpaul has made a better case for that place than Inzi. Check the stats: better average over recent years... better record agaisnt the Aussies. Not as talented, perhaps... but it's effectiveness that counts....

Dear Rachael

If you are saying there is no space on the team for INZI all I can say is what is wrong with cricket. I mean your sayin Shiv Chanderpaul is better than INZI.You said Shiv has had better stats in the History than Inzi well forget the history its all about now. And one more thing Kallis can go bat at # 6 or 7. Il tell you the world team I would select. Batting Order
1.Virender Sehwag
2.Shaid Afridi
3.Raul Dravid
4.Inzmam ul Haq
5.Sachin Tendulkar
6.Brain Lara
7.Jacques Kallis
8.Abdul Razzaq
9.Murletharan
10.Steve Harmison
11.Shoiab Akhter

Uham u don't have any genuine Wicket keeper in the side, rest of the team is good

No Flintoff in a world eleven after the Ashes and last 24 months he's had? That's unusual to say the least. To say more, its plain ane simple wrong. I see too that you have picked Tendulkar, who is not fit and has pulled out of the SS. Even if he was fit, his form of the last season would have not meritted a place in a world eleven. Afridi , Shoaib Akhtar and Abdul Razzaq are not even sure they'll get into the Pakistan test team ATM! Inzamam has said he might not travel to Australia because of his injuiry prone back. Also Jack Kallis preffers not to bowl too much these days, considering that your team looks a little short on bowling resources. And Dravid has stopped keeping for his country, so even if you're planning to go in with non specialist w/k you'll have to look for some one else , G Jones perhaps would be a good 'part time' keeping option, and given your love of long batting line ups, he'd fit in the team quite nicely.

Oh No, according to GEo News Inzi said that he would participate in Super series, well what can we do, we can only wish him good luck.

[Zainub]

And hope that he doesn't injuire him self or pick up a niggle

[ahsan32]

Well Lets hope it does not happen because Pakistan has a very important series comming up and we need Inzi fit and in form for that one

[Zainub]

Just a fit enough Inzi will not be enough, we need him to be fit and in form

[Orchid]

I just read that Inzi just got into the Test team and Dravid replaced Tendulkar in the ODI. Now who would have thought of Dravid getting into an ODI team ahead of Inzi?
