Inzamam-ul-Haq is a symbiosis of strength and
subtlety. Power is no surprise, but sublime touch is remarkable for
a man of his bulk. He loathes exercise and often looks a passenger
in the field, but with a willow between his palms he is suddenly
galvanised. He plays shots all round the wicket, is especially
strong off his legs, and unleashes ferocious pulls and lofted
drives. Imran Khan rates him the best batsman in the world against
pace. Early on he is vulnerable playing across his front pad or
groping outside off stump. He uses his feet well to the spinners,
although this aggression can be his undoing. Inzi keeps a cool head
in a crisis and has succeeded Javed Miandad as Pakistan's premier
batsman, but his hapless running between wickets is legendary and
most dangerous for his partners. There were no such problems against
New Zealand at a boiling Lahore in 2001-02, when Inzamam belted 329,
the second-highest Test score by a Pakistani and the tenth-highest
by anyone. However, he was then dogged by poor form, scoring just 16
runs in Pakistan's ill-fated World Cup campaign in 2003. He was
dropped from the team briefly, but then roared back to form, scoring
a magnificent unbeaten 138 and guiding Pakistan to a thrilling
one-wicket win against Bangladesh at Multan. He was rewarded with
the captaincy of the team, and despite leading them to victory in
the Test series in New Zealand, question-marks about his leadership
qualities surfaced when Pakistan were beaten in both the Test series
and the one-dayers against India. But the selectors persevered with
him and this bore results when he took a team thin on bowling
resources to India and drew the Test series with a rousing
performance in the final Test, Inzamam's 100th. After scoring a
magnificent 184, Inzamam lead the team astutely on a tense final day
and took Pakistan to victory
