Well, in Indian side,, he definitely is the best batsman... Sachin is behind him for sure in my list...
Zaheer Abbas was a class of his own, but thats for the Pakistan's line up... Pakistan's number one had to be in between Inzimam, Miandad and Zaheer.. Saeed Anwar no way.
to me best batsmen was Miandad. He had an edge when it comes to winning the game other than that Zaheer, Inzi, Malik and Yousuf are/were treat to watch and have class too !
