Being fat does not mean much. Ranatunga was fatter than Inzi, was a good runner, who always kept fielders interested because of his walking runs. He was slow on ground fielding, but agile enough for short catching.
And (?because of weight) they were run machines latter in their careers. and also imposing on officials due to thier looks. I don't think any other captain looks imposing than Inzamam at the moment. So there are some plus points being fat

well first to answer the question. I think he shouldnt be allowed to play. Just like how this south australia guy, mark cleary (i think) wasnt allowed to play for being excessively overweight.

number 2: i dont see how calling someone a fatass is racist. Its about his figure, not about his race. he didn't say all pakis were fat or something, just inzy is fat. oh, and he is a bit overweight.

3: i forgot when but there was a funny line made by the commentator during a match with pakistan. it went something like this:

"and the batsmen hits the ball to mid off and inzy takes off like a startled, water buffalo"

oh Very funny, its just funny..., the commentator...

Fat or not if he can make runs and hold catches, dive around in the field and lead a team , he should continue to play, infact if darren gough with all his weight can run upto the wicket and bowl, so why cant inzi do it. Secondly there is no law in cricket which restricts any one on weight catagory, otherwise beefy would have taken three places for england!

for ur information inzamam has played most one days than any player in the world.now what do u say?



Posted By: inzamam329

Inzy is in prime form his short innings which had a wonderful strike rate in the ODI showed how good he still is, Inzy is not only fit to play but the best man to captain our team up and until the wcup, i think after which he will himself call it a day. Sitting on chair and typing about someones career is far easier than doing what cricketers like inzy do, go out thier do what they do best.

Compare him with Andy Symonds who is super fit. Andy fields well and a part time bowler. But when comes to batting see which one of them spends more time at the crease. And when Inzy was in Symonds age he could hit it more harder than Symonds. So he may not be fit, but he has a superhuman strength, where he can clear any ground in the world. And even the quickest of runners still don't chance his arm as well.

Ironically enough I wasn't being sarcastic.

I know how draining I find batting for any length of time, and I don't bat anything like the periods Inzi bats for, or indeed in such heat as he would do most of the time.

 For me he can still do a terrific job internationally, as he showed with some superb performances in the tests recently.

Being a healthy 18yr old I probably would beat him in a bleep test but the point stands he is actually made more of muscle then fat i'd say looking at him and knowing other people of a similar build, he has always been like that its not like he has just suddenly started eating a few too many pies. As it is cricket is one of the few sports where you can get away with being a bit on the hefty side, you can bowl spin and bat easily enough. As for fielding alot of it requires judgement and concentration as well as pshyical(sp?) fitness.

Then again anything a yard either side of inzi is going for 4 ;-)

Inzy has been one of the best pak slippers for a decade now, he is also good at close in positions. And even super fittern players cannot spend the tim he spends at the wicket or score the runs he has. I agree with cobbs and wal bada.

I think its  a gud topic .I feel that the man's grown old and that hunger to play is not there in Inzy now It seems he want to drag on till the World Cup .I feel reducing the burden of captaincy will help him and it will help him more now that there is a crisis surrounding him .

I would suggest only one thing for any player, his performance in the matches he plays, and if he can contribute in his department he should play! and the same I would always say for the longest dragger in current cricket little master from big india, though he struggled in his last four or five come backs, then struggled even in attempts to come back, but if he can contribute even half of what we know of the great man he would also be worth gold for india in the WC 2007 as would be inzi, Lara, or Jayasuria for their respective sides!

I think Inzy would find it impossible to lose weight the guy is running through the wickets up and back 20 times a match over 15 years and all that sweat?


Posted By: wiseguy
Date Posted: 13 September 2006 at 7:25am

I would ask does he need to reduce his weight, a player with average of 50 in test matches and 40 in ODI, strike rate of 75, with 35 centuries and 125 fifties, who has been consistant, leads the team excellently, holds his catches well.

I dont see any changes negative in his performance so far to suugest any change, infact he is as good/bad as a fielder or runner between the wickets as he used to be ten years back, but he has improved as a batsmen immensly in the last decade, and most importantly his record as the most valuable player for his side is better than any player in the world.

What a player with what ever dimensions he has, certainly God has made him equal to two average players half his weight! 

Just view the hafty records of a heavy weight!

class  mat  inns  no  runs  hs  ave  bf  sr  100  50  4s  6s  ct  st
Tests   113   187   20   8498   329   50.88   15661   54.26   25   44   1073   47   79   0

Just to add on this is what Imran has to say on Inzi's future, please bear in mind Imran has been a greatest critique of inzi for some time now,

Imran also disagreed with former captain Rashid Latif's comments that Inzamam should retire from Tests and concentrate on ODIs in order to extend his career. "He still is the best man to lead as he is the best batsman around. Inzamam needs to formulate things and needs to have better planning while playing international cricket and results will be better."



-------------
so far so good!


Posted By: ANIL KUMBLE
Date Posted: 13 September 2006 at 10:39am

Maybe the greatest obese player of all time definately in Pakistan's time?

I remember Imran Khan called for Inzy to be sacked as skipper against the aussies on tour in 2004-05 but Inzamam turned it around with some great victories and some sensational form of his own.So without a doubt he is still good enough to playn and fit enough.



Posted By: DRAVID FAN
Date Posted: 13 September 2006 at 1:05pm
He is still fit. He is dragging it to the WC.

The thing about these great players like Inzi is that if they are at one end then other batsman has a lot of confidence. So as long as he there, Pakistan plays well. I wonder whats going to happen to Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Australia after the WC. Many top players retiring.

Inzi is worth gold for pakistan, and with his match winning ability, each team in the world rates him the most prized wicket of the pakistan team. He is as important to pakistan's chances of winning the world cup as is tendolkar to india, Jayasuria to srilanka, ponting to ausies, smith to SA, Lara to windies, (fleming+astle+marshal) to Newzealand, whole bangladesh 11 to bangladesh.

What Clapo was referring to, and indeed why I took up the cudgel in this instance was that people are getting sick of those who automatically cry racism at anything they don't like being said, when race has nothing to do with it at all.

Very funny 2 day silence. now lets finish the topic.

i think if inzy gets too big to field properly, he shouldnt ahve his aplce in the team, even though he can bat. I mean, there has to be a limit somewhere. I reckon start him bowling a bit in the nets.

I don't believe that Inzamam is too unfit to play cricket. No matter how fat or overweight he may be (and I personally believe that a lot of it is muscle and not fat), he is one of the best batsmen the world has ever seen and he is an immensely talented cricketer. He is 36 years of age now and has been around for a very long time so naturally he will be beginning to tire now so running may well not be his strong point, however in the recent series V England he hit some excellent boundaries and some huge sixes at a strike rate of 111.5, which is quite some strike rate, so I feel he is perfectly capable of playing cricket at the highest level and he certainly has another couple of years top level cricket in him just yet I believe.

Who cares? You could weigh 700 stone and be pushed in a wheelchair if you average 50 a game.

Fit or not fit he has to be in the team to keep them together, even when he retires i think he should be kept with the pakistani team as a Coach or Trainer........, he has given the Unity and Character to the Pakistani team which they lacked. Imran kahn & wasim akram were great Captains but they were never able to give this to thier teams...

Not really HawkEye! Inzi is a great player but don't exaggerate the things by rating his leadership skills above Imran's. And also please don't flatter about his appointment as a coach / trainer after retirement, because it doesn't seem sensible to me at least. No one is and should be indispensible for any team.

Inzi has definately achieved phenomenal success with pakistani team and no doubt he has brought back the team spirit lacking in pakistani teams of yesteryears!

He should be flown to India with the team just to keep him away from the rest and excessive eating at home, as you may see a even fatter Inzi by the next series! infact he should be sent to an army commando training center for time being!

so far so good!

Clobs Jyothika is a cute little girl, who has interest in this game of cricket.

Look at the performance of middle order of Pakistani batting line up during the ICC champions trophey and anyone would recognize that that Inzi is still the anchor for Pakistan's middle order batting line. Had he been in the team Pakistani middle order wouldn't have collpsed like that. He shoudl be playing at least till the WC 2007.

Well, the topic is a good topic. As you rightly said Shan, Inzy is vital to the Pakistani lineup. Also he is a good tactical captain as well and he is an important leader to the Pakistan team.
