Inzy's Last Bow...


It's not everyday that you witness a great sportsman leave the game with such a tremendous farewell. Inzamam-Ul-Haq in his more than 15 Yrs career has come a long way. With over 10000 runs in One-Day Internationals, this man has led his team to some amazing wins.
Agreed that he never had a great world cup record and the ousting of the team from the 2007 edition was one of the most humiliating ways to end such an illustrious career, but all said and done the kind of farewell the man got from the fraternity speaks volumes about him.
Not only did the entire Zimbabwe squad bid him farewell, the whole Pakistan squad was on the field to accompany him during his final walk, off the batting pitch. And as Charu Sharma said during the match...'Big Bears Do Cry!'
Clearly one of the most touching farewells to one of the best the game has seen.
