This is our first tour outside of the subcontinent with a settled lineup, and even this one has been marred by injuries. I think Pakistanis are being too harsh on him. Besides, I don't think its a very good idea to change captains with just a few months left in the World Cup.ali_ed2001 said:yea but how many wins have come away from home under his captaincy ?

Spot on, mate. Throw in a few correct decisions by the umpires and this series would've been a lot more exciting for everyone.evertonfan said:Exactly, I don't think Inzamam is to blame at all for the bad things that have happened in this tour. Apart from Old Trafford, he has batted well, and if his fielders would have taken catches, and some of his bowlers bowled better, then this could be an entirely different series.
evertonfan said:Asif was exceptional today, I must admit that I was wrong about him; He's a class act. However, it's still far too early in his career to be comparing him with McGrath or any other great fast bowler.
nightprowler10 said:I honestly don't care how many runs who makes, as long as Pakistan takes a big lead.
BTW, this is funny. Asif has apparently requested Cricinfo to change his profile picture. Can't say I blame him though:

Exactly, the margin of victory in both the games were huge. Besides the ifs and buts, no matter how valid they may seem, dont matter in the end.nightprowler10 said:Having said all that, one thing is for sure. Unless one of the Pakistani bowlers pulled an amazing trick out of their sleeves, I don't think Pakistan could've won the Old Trafford test since our batsmen were clueless as to how to face Harmison.
