About Me
Profile: Inzamam is Pakistan’s highest-scoring batsman in Test and one-day international cricket, ahead of the great Javed Miandad. Although he has occasionally attracted controversy, Inzamam’s legacy will surround his superior batting skills in Pakistan’s middle-order. From the time he announced himself globally at the 1992 World Cup, where he excelled in the semifinal and final when Pakistan won the tournament, up through the nineties and into the new millennium, Inzamam has been the mainstay of Pakistan’s batting. He linked the Miandad and Imran Khan generation to the current Mohammed Yousuf and Younis Khan era. His 2003 World Cup performance, when he made 19 runs in six innings, stands as his greatest failure but such non-achievement is supplemented by more magical feats like his 329 against New Zealand in 2002, his 184 in his 100th Test to help Pakistan win in Bangalore to draw the series, and a crucial unbeaten 138 in Multan in 2003 in his first game back after being dropped. That latter effort prevented a major embarrassment and Bangladesh’s maiden Test win. A laid-back character by nature, this can sometimes be interpreted as lethargy, though his success indicates there is a more underlying determination than meets the eye.
