As I've said before he should have been in the original squad for the Test side, but definitely not the ODI side. A difficult decision going against you is no justification to throw your toys out of the pram - he'd have never played a Test for Pakistan if he'd displayed this sort of attitude at the beginning of his career. He was never a shoo-in anyway like a Murali or Flintoff, his record against Australia is rubbish and he's still a useless fielder outside of the close catchers.venomous said:Inzy's decision is not lame nor immature, its a very wise decision. He did what was needed to be done. A player who has performed consistently well in both forms of the game, than so called biggies like Sachin, Gibbs, Kallis etc etc & etc for last 2-3 years, is negelected through out the course of selection...and then gets a replacement in the end, for an injured players who has been injured for last 2 years!...that's just simply pathetic, just pathetic!....but well, it wld have been a waste of time for him, so he shldn't care much. Better to stay home and get prepared for the upcoming tough series, instead of filling up ICC & selectors deep pockets by playing in a futile series.
For the record:
Inzi in Australia (Tests): 7 matches, 493 runs, HS 118, average 35.21
his overall record against Australia is slightly worse than this in Test cricket.
