Shattered Inzamam retires from one-day cricket
Cricinfo staff
March 18, 2007
Inzamam-ul-Haq, Pakistan's shattered captain, has announced his retirement from one-day cricket. The match against Zimbabwe, Pakistan's last of this World Cup, following their shock defeat against Ireland on Saturday, will be his valedictory appearance in that form of the game.
"I have talked with my father on the phone," he said, "and have decided to retire from one-day cricket after the Zimbabwe match." Inzamam will, however, remain available for selection in Test cricket, a form of the game in which he has made 8813 runs in 119 Tests, with a highest score of 329 against New Zealand at Lahore.
The announcement was made on the same day that Bob Woolmer, Pakistan's coach, tragically collapsed and died at the team hotel in Kingston, Jamaica. Inzamam, visibly distraught at the news, told reporters: "I am shocked and badly hurt. We have lost a good coach and a good person."
Inzamam's one-day career was legendary. He played 377 matches over a 15-year career, scoring 11702 runs at 39.53 including 10 hundreds and 83 fifties. He shot to fame as a 22-year-old in Pakistan's triumphant World Cup campaign in 1992, belting his side into the final with a blistering 60 from 37 balls in the semi-final against New Zealand at Auckland.
He went on to contribute a vital 42 in the final itself, at Melbourne against England, but subsequent World Cup campaigns have been less impressive for him and his side. After losing in the final in 1999, he made just 19 runs in six innings in the 2002-03 tournament in South Africa, and was dropped from the side soon afterwards.

Phew, at least they are through even though Pakistan is out!
They have to beat Kenya first, and Kenya looked rather more convincing in beating Canada than England. It will not be an easy game.
I can't see England going far, as events have shown today at least half the team have completely the wrong attitude to the tournament. They just aren't as interested in winning as the likes of Australia, New Zealand or South Africa. As a consequence they won't win, and are likely to lose embarrassingly at some point. Does anyone seriously think that against Canada Australia would have scored less than 350, or had more than 150 runs scored against them? Even against the minnows, they never sit back and go into cruise mode - they know what it takes to win.

If india was to seperate Cricket from politics then i really bet India is really powerful and due to politics on statewise and bribings on India many skilled players and bowlers are working on irrelevant jobs
By burrying their aims and ambitions

^^^now, thats jusr CRAZY
mg: WHAT THE..... Inzimam retired?!?!?!?! salaams ...
the death was tragic ... and perhaps , ppl have forgotten that cricket is just a game , afterall ...
i think it was the immense pressure that got 2 him , but again , if u think abt the fact that being a cricketer and invelved in crci fer nearly 35 yrs now, the fact of the pressure catching him really seems unsuaual ...
nwayz , not that im pointing at some murder or suicide , but u cant rule it out ... the investigations will b really interesting ...
on the cricketing scene .... what nxt for pakistan ... the only players i think can rescue them are md. yusuf , yunis khan and akmal ...their bowling is just crap , and so is their fielding .... and wid inzy gone, woolmer gone, akhtar , asif in trble , and the recent affair of paki cricket wid controversies seems 2 take them 2 a dead end ... and itll b difficult 2 return ...
itll take time , i wish akmal takes up cataincy , hes a better option .
back 2 home sweet home , india needs 2 defeat bermuda by a huge margin ... ive heard there is another row b/w dravid and greg on sehwag , im a strong backer of sehwag , i wish he plays , and plays well enuf , and repays the faith shown in him by dravid ...
finally , jus a word, this is just a game .... and v dont need all dat crap like v have seen in the pix above ...
Allah Hafiz ..
Inida will win inshallah !!!
