I think Intikhab Alam was Pakistan's best coach ever and he was also the most successful coach Pakistan has ever had. Under Intikhab Alam's coaching we won the 1992 World Cup and then later on also we won the 2009 Twenty20 world cup which was held in England. 1992 World cup upto this date remains Pakistan's only 50 over World Cup title. The 2009 World Cup twenty20 remains Pakistan's only Twenty20 world cup title.
In the 1992 World cup Pakistan were almost knocked out of the tournament after losing unfairly to a rain affected match against South Africa. But then onwards Intikhab Alam devised a master strategy plan alongwith Captain Imran Khan and vice captain Javed Miandad which led to Pakistan winning four consecutive matches in a row including the semi final and final of the tournament.
Similarly in 2009 Twenty20 world cup in England , Pakistan were down and out after losing to Sri lanka in the super eights stage of the tournament. From then onwards an Intikhab Alam inspired Pakistan won against New Zealand and Ireland in the super eights stage then they defeated South Africa in the Semi finals and finally won the title against Srilanka in the Final of the tournament.
In the end what i would like to say is that had Intikhab Alam not written that terrible report on Pakistani players in their disastrous tour of Australia in 2010 he would have coached Pakistan to more glory.
