Inzamam treated badly by Pakistan cricket board

Inzamam Ul Haq has not been selected as one of the contracted players of the year by the Pakistan cricket board. Inzamam has been treated badly by the Pakistan cricket establishment again and this was the last nail in the coffin for Inzamam

Why cant Inzamam at least be given a hero's farewell by the Pakistan cricket board for his services to cricket?


Inzamam was of course the captain for the Pakistan cricket team in the cricket World cup. But, Inzamam was not the only cause for Pakistan's ignominious exit from the cricket World cup

Inzamam's past contributions to the Pakistan cricket team have been very conveniently forgotten. Very often, Inzamam was the only cricketer to stand up to the opposition in international one day and test cricket matches


Inzamam is but the latest cricket hero to be dump by an Asian cricket establishment. Right from the days of Gundappa Vishwanath, to Mohinder Amarnath, Indian and Pakistan cricket heroes have been unceremoniously dumped after a bad performance, without even standing up to applaud their past achievements

Inzamam should have perhaps learnt from Sunil Gavaskar and Imran Khan who probably understood this phenomenon best, and retired after an extraordinary cricket performance

Geoff Lawson,Pakistan cricket board makes another coaching mistake

Geoff Lawson is the only cricket coach that the Pakistan cricket board could find to fill the void left by Woolmer's death

Geoff Lawson? Hey, wait a minute, Geoff Lawson has no coaching experience and does not even qualify as a cricket coach


Geoff Lawson is now the Pakistan cricket coach. We are talking about the Pakistan cricket team not the Scotland cricket team,for God's sake

Pakistan has a rich cricket tradition spanning across decades,so it is amazing that the Pakistan cricket board could not find any one former Pakistan player, leave alone a coach for the Pakistan cricket team.


Indian and Pakistan cricket boards seem to have a low opinion of former cricketers of their own countries as cricket coaches.What is scary is that the Indian and Pakistan cricket boards do not seem to learn from the Greg Chappell and the Woolmer debacles when the cultures of the coach and the players just did not match


Based on Geoff Lawson's selection as Pakistan cricket coach, trust the Indian cricket board to compete by coming up with another weird selection for the post of Indian cricket coach. Who will the Indian cricket board select this time? Thomson?
