Not even 2nd best to come from his own country imho...No Inzi..wow
I think he was the second best Batsman that came out of Asia..
Talking about performing under pressure without support, The first name that should come to mind is that of Hanif.Dude.. a batsman's true test is during the pressure time.. Inzi most of the time batted under pressure.. during his career, he mostly played when pakistan's top ordered failed.. so that means every time that he came to bat pakistan was down 2 to 3 wickets for less then 50 runs..
While the likes of Dravid had Ganguly, Laxman, Sachin and later Sehwag, Inzi batted most of the time with guys like yousuf, Salman butt, yasir hameed, Younis khan, Imran Farhat and so many other new batsman who couldn't even established themselves.. Pakistan didn't have a specialist number 3 batsman till early 05.. that means they were mostly down 3 when inzi came to the crease.. Yousuf did help and later Younis khan but it is hard to deny that Inzi batted most of his career under pressure..
just for that i rate him higher than any other batsman with the exception of Sachin..
Hanif Mohammad, Miandad even Mohd Yusuf has case to be compared or even rated above him..Dude.. a batsman's true test is during the pressure time..

Tendulkar over Imran as captain?1. Sachin Tendulkar (Captain)
2. Saeed Anwar
3. Inzamam-ul-Haq
4. Shahid Afridi
5. Rashid Latif (Wk)
6. Virender Segwag
7. Imran Khan
8. Wasim Akram
9. Harbhjan Singh
10. Mohammad Amir
11. Waqar Younus
Thought the post wasn't worth replying to as soon as I noticed he placed Aamer above Waqar.Tendulkar over Imran as captain?
And Afridi in an all-time Asian XI?Tendulkar over Imran as captain?
only Miandad could make such a claim but I rate inzi higher than him simply because Inzi was a natural aggrassive batsman..He had to adjust so many times to the situation that at times u forgot about him being an aggrassive batsman.. i don't think M. Yousuf and Younis were (at thier best) and are in his league.. I can't comment on Hanif cuz i haven't seen him batt..Hanif Mohammad, Miandad even Mohd Yusuf has case to be compared or even rated above him..
thats a good list though I would have Sanga for Sehwag.certainties from pak: imran, javed, wasim
from india: gavaskar, kapil, tendulkar, dravid
from sri lanka: murali
i will add waqar and sehwag to that list and rank them like this:
imran
tendulkar
murali
gavaskar
kapil
javed
akram
dravid
sehwag
waqar
disappointed at lack of Sami1. Sachin Tendulkar (Captain)
2. Saeed Anwar
3. Inzamam-ul-Haq
4. Shahid Afridi
5. Rashid Latif (Wk)
6. Virender Segwag
7. Imran Khan
8. Wasim Akram
9. Harbhjan Singh

Okaaaay.Don't post then.
Yes sir, I understand that. But I just can't stand you. Its fine when others question me.You expect to get questions if you post in an internet forum understand?
Someone who is not considered to be a troll around these parts, unlike you.Who do you think you are?
Oh, jeez! Thanks man, forgot about that little tool completely! Guess who is going into that list first?If you don't want anyone to question you, put everyone else on ignore. OK?
Yeah, outside chance for making the ODI XI (he wouldn't be in mine's) but I assumed the poster I was responding to was considering all formats.I reckon he has an out side chance for all time Asia odi xi
And Gavaskar didn't bat under pressure? And Miandad? No?Dude.. a batsman's true test is during the pressure time.. Inzi most of the time batted under pressure.. during his career, he mostly played when pakistan's top ordered failed.. so that means every time that he came to bat pakistan was down 2 to 3 wickets for less then 50 runs..
