Always loved watching Inzi bat - thought it fantastic that a bloke built like me could be so light on his feet but, for the reasons Brumbers put so well, my vote goes to Waqar on this one

I'm torn between Waqar and Inzi, both played such a big part in Pakistan's ’90 firebrand style of cricket. I think in the end I’ll have to go with Inzamam. He was easy to make fun of, and invited mockery upon himself due to his lack of fitness and comical running between the wickets. But he was also a class batsman. He became one of my all-time favorites after his performance in the ’92 WC. After Javed’s retirement, he became pretty much the lone stalwart of Pakistan’s batting for much of the time. I can’t even count the number of times he had to nurse Pakistan’s innings along to the finish as wickets fell all around him. As went Inzi, so did Pakistan. Loved him.
