Assault on a fan[edit]

Can Pakistan fans please stop editing this paragraph to try and make their hero look better. We need to have a quote from ul Haq about the incident plus eye-witness accounts of what was said and what happened. Linking to a video showing the assault also helps people see what really happened. Please stop editing this page because you do not like the unbiased truth to be told about the assault.

- The incident has been dealt with by many experts in subsequent articles published on the reputable cricnfo website, for a neutral perspective we need to reflect the size of the controversy, which was relatively low key compared to the Oval incdent.

  • Would Indian fans stop including references to Indian matches in the world cup, please source and use neutral and accurate sources and descriptions.

Controversies section and NPOV[edit]

Im not quite sure about this sentence "Inzamam has been repeatedly banned, fined and reprimanded for breaking the ICC's code of conduct". The word repeatedly is not justifiable as he has played over 350 odis and a 100 tests (12 charges does not account for him having an urge for breaking the rules! REPEATEDLY) , furthermore just to point out a fact the number of charges written against him are not that surprising as he was the captain, and all "blame", so to speak, is handed to him even if was not directly involved. The charges for "dissent at umpire's decision" is really given to the team but always implemented against the captain, which is not rare. Other charges such as slow over rate etc. are also handed to the captain. However saying the assault on a spectator and bringing the game into disrepute are more serious offences and have been stated correctly. Saying that, i feel that the whole section needs re-doing, as it makes him out as a notorious "bad guy" who is always up to some kind of mischief, which im sure is quite unfair, as many of the cricket fraternity would corroborate. From the few Pakistan matches i have seen, Inzi has always seemed to be a calm, moderate and an undercontrol "customer" and the section does not do him justice at all!

Captaincy[edit]

"On September 28, 2006 the allegations of ball-tampering were dismissed, however he was found guilty of bringing cricket into disrepute and given a 4-match One-day International ban with immediate effect. [4] The Pakistan Cricket Board later blamed Inzamam for Oval Test forfeiture; adding that the forfeited match had made the board susceptible to a claim of £800,000 by the ECB as compensation.[5]"

I have deleted this paragraph as it should be under "Controversies" more so then "Captaincy", and having said that it is mentioned in the "Controversies" section and does not need reiteration.
