The generalization of the stupid blog as a pakistani trait is as 'useless' as the post itself.

Where does Inzamam rank among Asia's batting greats?

Why don't you read the comment section of that blog? Most of the pakistani agree with him.

Generalizations and specific-country bashing are things I will never indulge in. Assuming that the commenters are representative of all of their countrymen is ludicrous.

Its weird but I only really rate SRT and Sunny clearly ahead of Inzi, but feel that any of Miandad, Dravid or Hanif could occupy that 3rd spot as well. These six names are easily Asia's greatest at the moment, but I expect Sehwag and Sanga to topple a couple of names.

So when stats don't go in favor of your argument, you go for players' opinion. When Stats do go in favor of your argument, Players are basically talking out of their arse ?
And How many Lahoris do you really know to continously bring up the 'Lahori Logic' ?

I really don't know Where Inzi ranks statistically, I rate him very highly. There have been times when I thought he was better than all of his contemporaries including SRT, Lara, Ponting, Dravid.
I remember the very first time I watched him in 1992 WC and some of the shots he played were truly outstanding and we knew then that he was going to serve his country for long long time.
No I don't know where I will rank him, but he is right on top with all those great names.

Do you think even before writing.? Which stats didn't favour my argument. Or you write whatever you think.

If his like 60 years old or something then his probably right. He doesn't have to have been good at cricket to have played more then most. FTR, I've seen a few players with cricinfo profiles who aren't even that good.

Mr. Glass
If he is 60 years old and posts with that attitude, he deserves the **** he cops anyway.

I rated Inzi very highly as a batsman. He was an oak against the pace attacks, standing back on the crease he really did look like he had all the time in the world. He was also surprisingly nimble for a big guy. In his pomp he had a natural, almost carelessly brilliant style about him.
I was disappointed for him failing to become Pakistan's all-time leading run scorer and missing out on averaging 50 in tests (although if you remove the ICC tour of Australia in 2005 he does average 50 for Pakistan) by a whisker because I rate him as one of the best batsman in the past 20 years.

metallics, if you've got a beef with how someone's posting, please use the "report post" function for the moderating staff to deal with it. Regardless of how dire someone's posts are, you're doing the forum no favours by stooping to their level. Please try to rise above it.

The thing to weigh up with Inzy is his relatively poor record against the two best sides of his era, SA and Aus. But he's well renowned for his record in Pakistan wins, the earlier recorded stat of 17 of his 25 centuries being in Pakistan victories.
Therefore, he may not have proven himself against all the teams like some of his other contemporaries, but he's made runs at crucial junctures against teams of comparable ability to his own, and whom Pakistan are more likely to beat/compete with. Does that rate higher than, for example, a series in which a player makes a lot of runs in a losing cause?
