Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq, The Revolutionary - Performance Watch

[mak36]

Yet you criticized Sarfaraz left right and center for his large say in selecting Wahab and now praising Inzi for that (as rest of the team was selected before hand).

Markhor has also been very critical of Shadab, yet his bowling was crucial today.

 

[waleed88]

Malik/Hafeez are not "fifth" bowlers- rather they are sixth bowling options.

3 pacers + Shadab = four frontline bowlers

They were the reason we won today.

Spin combined accounted for 4 top order wickets : Roy, Root, Morgan, Stokes.

That is where the match was set, not by the pacers who did containment more.

I would still call shadab an allrounder considering he is inconsistent with the ball and scores a few with the bat. Since Malik is coming in at 7 and him at 8.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Inzy has selected a brilliant squad. For the first time ever, there is a no passenger in the squad.

There is a backup for almost every role.

Hafeez for opener
Haris for middle order
Imad for spin bowling all-rounder
Shaheen and Hasnain for fast bowling

 

[Khanusman1]

Izammam the great

 

[octavian]

Have said this many times before, Inzi is the best selector we have had in last 25 years.

 

[Syed1]

Inzamam hitting his critics into the stand for a six.

hahahha just yesterday you were attributing "Asian Clive Llyod" for Wahab's selection. Flip flopping like Dr. M )

We are talking past each other.

I am talking about the risk of going in with only four frontline bowlers. We agree it paid off today, but Mickey and co didn't have a crystal ball so deserve credit for taking that calculated risk.

I think the only that is valuable to Pakistan is our spin department with the addition that they can bat. We dont have any offspinners coming in after Malik and Hafeez, while our faster bowlers are not the wicket takers they used to be.

 

[Bilal7]

There really is nothing left to be said. InshaAllah, Pakistan will get to the finals.

Well done Sarfraz !

Still needs to lose the belly.

 

[Draeoftroy]

Well played
Its 16th June 2019 we are almost out of this World Cup have been beaten by India again softly.

Inzi mafia wins again Pakistan loses

but this revolutionary parasite still hovers over our cricket system. In 2004 Visiting India was surprised by Pakistan A that chased 310 and defeated them with ease, but our NAtional XI lost not only ODI but the TEst series as well under this revlutionary captain Inzi who has invested more in protecting his friends than making a team. We had the best coach like Woolmer he was overruled and dictated by this dictator.

All his life Inzamam supported Hafeez, Malik, Akmals[Azam incl.], Yousuf, now his nephew Imam and killed the rest of the prospects who were way better than these jokes.

He had 3 and a half years, England, Australia, South Africa built their batting ODI team, Inzamam used defeats to push in his favorites. Destroyed our batting and filled it with Akmal, Hafeezs and Maliks.

Time for PCB to either kick him out or else lose the fans, can't take this nepotistic individual anymore.

Yousaf??? are you feeling ok? Its this ** senior culture which makes us select useless leeches such as Youseless Khan in several world cups and now Malik in this one

 

[Zhasan]

Under Inzi's captaincy Pakistan lost to India at home, never won a series outside of Asia, save one against a pathetic Kiwi side...this despite having the greatest middle order at his disposal in the world at the time and best in Pakistan's history as well as a killer bowling attack...

Inzi made howlers after howlers as a captain, was an absolute dunce in his captaincy decisions, on top of his politicking...

He added another feather to his ignominious cap by employing nepotism in selecting his nephew to the side...

The sooner old babays and authoritarian politicians like Inzis are removed from PCB, the better it will be...

 

[ataullah]

Cant blame inzi for us being mediocre. He selected the best possible squad Barr maybe one or two players which u get in any squad. It's just Pak who have fallen way behind top teams.

What i don't get is how did we looked decent against England but look horrible against India. Maybe a mental problem coupled with carrying passengers

 

[Draeoftroy]

First learn how to have a civil conversation and don't budge in like a fool. Inzi was part of the coup against Younis Khan 2009 to make Yousuf captain. In 90s he organized the whole team to save Mushtaq AHmed from getting dropped. He went against Majid Khan like administrator this guy is a politician

If you think Imam, Malik, Haris, Imad, Afridi, Hasan Ali were the best in Pakistan then you don't know the first thing about Pakistan cricket...

hahaha then no one deserves blame actually, such a stupid response


Please name the one or 2 players he is not selecting them in few months he is behind them for months now.

He has built this team.
Malik, Hafeez, Imam, Babar Azam, Wahab Riaz, Harris, Ahmed Shehzad, Shan Masood are all his consistent picks with which he ruined our batting lineup that can't even compete in ODI format. To help these jokes we play another joke as power hitter like Asif Ali

 

[freezerburn]

My question is: why is inzimam chief selector to begin with? Wasn’t this guy grossly overweight in his career when we are trying to bring fitness in to the team culture? Who made the decision the appoint him and on what merit and who are the fans that support this decision?

 

[Greenstorm]

He should be fired asap.

There are reports of Inzamam replacing Mickey Arthur as head coach rofl.

How sick the system is can be seen with the people in the governing board all the way down to people like Subhan Ahmed running its finances while NCA has been surrendered to leeches like Haroosn Rasheed and Nazar.

Inzamam is a frontman to a backed mafia .

 

[coy0607]

Seems like Inzamam prefers to choose players at random over having an actual plan in place

Asif Ali is in and out of the team at whim. All he really has to show for his ODI career and a WC selection is a few good sixes

Malik and Hafeez have been passengers for some time now, but selection guaranteed because they are 'seniors'

Yasir Shah was never in the plans for the WC, but some how ended up playing 6 crucial matches a few months before the WC

Wahab, Amir were get selected in the WC after not being in the plans for a extended period

Husnain comes out of nowhere and gets selected at the biggest stage

Shaheen, Shinwari, Junaid are all being groomed for the WC for months/years, and are no where to be seen now

Haris and Rizwan are groomed for the WC, and are no where to be seen

Crazy stuff this. If a business made decision like this, they would be bankrupt in a matter of days

Inzamam when powerful has been a disaster for Pakistan cricket. When he was captain he did the same with Misbah in 2006/7.

A lot of petty politics, protectionism and favoritism is part of cs decisions. The real devastation came when Sethi left the setup and the mafias within PCB wreaked havoc. The new chairman Ehsan Mani is abigger culprit as he gave Inzamam all the powers to damage the national team. As Paksitan lost Asia Cup, Arthur got weakened and slowly Inzi pushed in his favorable players.
Dropped 6 players to accomodate U. Akmal and other of his mafia.
Bringing Wahab Riaz was a huge decision as Inzamam had to eliminate Shinwari and Junaid both which he did gradually and Wahab got to play another WC. ASif Ali is a makeshift pathetic selection to compensate for his nephew Imam and almost nephew Babar's slow and selfish game. He slowly eliminated most of the players who were being groomed for World Cup using excuses and quick fix decisions oflosses which he himself was a part of. Faheem was the next to be thrown out. Rizwan was used to counter an insecure Sarfaraz. Rizwan was another bad investment a really sh*t player who can't accelerate or even has a good technique against fast bowling.

Hahaha name me one young individual he has given to national team. He is also part of rehab for injured bowlers . What did he do bolwing actions of several U 19 superstar players who used to swing and bowl pace. There action was altered with to damage their career intentionally. There are lot of things this leech nazar has done to Pakistan cricket which needs another post.

Who was the chief selector of that team ? His name was Basit Ali but for some reason you have not mentioned him. He is the main culprit behind our poor performances in U19 cricket and now he has been rightfully kicked out by Wasim Khan.
Mudassar has done great work with the development of Shaheen, Hasnain, Naseem Shah and Arshad Iqbal.

He is the reason Pak is getting some young exciting cricketers again. When he left the PCB the well dried up and many talents got lost in the system.

Thanks to him Nasim Shah and Muhammad Hasnain made good recoveries after serious injuries.

He also spent a lot of time with young upcoming batting talents like Rohail Nazir. It will take time to get the system on track again.

Mudasser Nazar's absence cost Pak a lot. I am happy he is back at the NCA where he can make a difference.

Rofl you are diverting the thread, junior selection committee is not powerful like national selection committee that thru connections get a player absent from the team for 2 years a world cup ticket.

U 19 is an extension of U 16. By the way thus is why I'm asking how many of those U 19 batters are plahying in domestic circuit or have made it to the team. HAsnain was noticed after QG owner's club helped him.

 

[Draeoftroy]

YOu know why Basit Ali was ousted? He blocked Inzamam son imaan ul Haq from selection into U19 which became a huge scandal. You can read it here.

Junior selection committee has more responsibility for poor U19 WC than NCA. Mudassar Nazar and NCA is the only reason Pakistan cricket is still functioning.

There are not many quality U19 or U16 batsman coming through the system and Mudassar has admitted that in an interview. The thing is that unlike fast bowlers quality young batsmen do not grow on trees. Demise of club cricket at district level has resulted in poor batting talent.

To be honest all stakeholders i.e. Chief Selector/Selection Committee, Captain and Coach have to be held responsible. All 3 have had inputs into the squad.

There is a backup for almost every role.

Hafeez for opener
Haris for middle order
Imad for spin bowling all-rounder

Lol. Before backups, originals need to be selected. Inzy is an uneducated joker

Please come back, anyone but Misbah.

 

[Markhor]

Say what you like about Inzamam, and yes there were some mistakes, but he sidelined much of the deadwood which are now crawling back.

He showed Azhar Ali the door in ODIs, Mohammed Irfan didn't get a look-in after that Headingley ODI in 2016 where he broke down, Umar Akmal was not taken to the World Cup, Ahmed Shehzad was generally ignored, Kamran Akmal had one series after a strong PSL but failed and was instantly dropped, Junaid Khan was axed, and the average age of the side was significantly reduced.

Yes but misbah will make sure that our players will not get in to any scandals and contraversies

 

[ataullah]

Really miss inzi and knew we would be worse off. He tried young blood and I'm sure would have given Saud Shakeel and other young guns a chance by now

 

[Markhor]

The big man made some mistakes but my God, Inzy was a million times upgrade over the current regime.

Comparing the squads he inherited to the one he left is like night and day. No, not all of them were successes but so many new faces, and old faces that never got a proper run, received chances under him.

Shaheen Afridi
Fakhar Zaman
Shadab Khan
Faheem Ashraf (don't rate him but at least we tried developing a seam bowling AR)
Aamer Yamin (recalled, deserved longer run by team management)
Usman Shinwari (recalled)
Hasan Ali
Sami Aslam (recalled)
Haris Sohail (recalled)
Shan Masood V2.0 (recalled)
Abid Ali
Babar Azam persisted with despite a shaky Test start
Saad Ali (used wrongly at 6 in ODIs but that's on team management)
Usman Salahuddin (recalled but largely unused, should've gotten a longer run from team management)
Mohammad Hasnain (don't rate him but again Inzy gave a chance to new talent)

Meanwhile he bombed out Azhar Ali in ODIs, Ahmed Shehzad, Junaid Khan, Mohammed Irfan, Imran Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, and gave Umar Akmal a token series before WC19 but generally ignored him. However he was too lenient with Azhar, Shafiq, Hafeez and Malik.

We already had three left arm seamers in Amir, Shaheen and Riaz so we didn't need a fourth.

Iftikhar with his blatantly fudged age will be found out against pace bowling outside Asia. I agree he deserved a run over Asif Ali give his domestic performances, but I'll be surprised if he's an answer to our middle order issues in white ball cricket.
