Inzamam hits out at hawks
LAHORE: Pakistan's captain Inzamam-ul-Haq on
Thursday lashed out at his team's armchair critics, saying he will
resign if the negative appraisals did not stop.
Inzamam said his team's series-levelling win in the second Test
against India here was a slap on the face of those former players
and commentators who had written off Pakistan after the first Test
defeat.
"I am glad the boys have come back in the series because the harsh
and negative criticism after we lost the Multan Test had hurt me a
lot," Inzamam told reporters.
"When a team loses, its supporters should try and lift the morale
rather than pull it down."
"I agree with our coach Javed Miandad when he says he will quit if
such criticism did not stop. I will also not like to stay as captain
if people don't stop their rubbish."
Former Pakistani stars like Imran Khan, Sarfaraz Nawaz and Zaheer
Abbas had lambasted the home team after India won the opening Test
at Multan by an innings and 52 runs.
Pakistan came back strongly to level the three-match series 1-1 with
a nine-wicket win at the Gaddafi stadium here on Thursday to set up
an intriguing battle in the decider in Rawalpindi from Tuesday.
