nzamam-ul-Haq, the former captain of the Pakistan team, has announced he will retire from international cricket after the second Test against South Africa at Lahore. Inzamam will be hoping to end his career by breaking Javed Miandad's Pakistan record of 8832 Test runs. Inzamam currently has 8813 runs, still needing 20 runs to become the highest run-getter for Pakistan in Tests. Inzamam made this announcement at the National Stadium in Karachi where Pakistan are currently playing the first Test against South Africa. A few hours later, the board named Inzamam in a 16-man squad for the second Test. In recent days speculation has mounted over Inzamam's future, with him declaring himself unavailable for the first Test against South Africa. He is also one of three Pakistani players to sign with the Indian Cricket League. Do you think Inzamam can break Javed Miandad's record?
Time for oldies to go. Its about time for Dravid/Tendulkar/Ganguly to do the same on the other side of border as well.
Thanks for both of your reply. But, I place question at the last of posting that "Do you think Inzamam can break Javed Miandad's record?" Did not get the response. What is your thinking regarding this?
He might be able to. 20 runs isn't something too difficult to achieve, and I'm sure Inzy wants to go out on a high. He has come a long way from the teenager who destroyed the hopes of Martin Crowe and his boys in the 1992 WC semifinal.
Breaking records or not, Inzy should be given a champion's farewell. Like what the Aussies gave to Steve Waugh. Inzy has been a giant figure in Pakistan and World Cricket !
