Mine is Muhammad Yusuf. Although it is a very tough question. I also think since Muhammad Yusuf converted to Islam, he is performing better than Inzamam Ul Haq and also his overall averages are better. He is one of the fastest player to have quick 1000 runs in test matches. What’s your opinion?
So Pakistani batting’s ranking would be:
Muhammad Yusuf
Inzamam Ul Haq
Younis Khan
and so forth.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
I too like Muhaamad Yousuf a lot, but i think Yousuf still has to prove that he is better than Inzi, he hasn't played many match winning innings under pressure.
Younus shud be put to bottom of the list, he performance is becoming dismal.

I know many people will disagree by believing Inzamam Ul Haq is better. But atleast Muhammad Yusuf is better than Younis Khan that he can great in both forms of games, ODI and test matches while Younis Khan is only great in test.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Inzi is a more complete batsman. While Yousuf has come good only recently, Inzi has been performing for a long time and has quite a few matchwinning knocks under his belt.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Yousuf is a better player of spin, and Inzi seems to have trouble playing spin recently.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Emotional teens :D
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
few days later we will see: Who is better? Shoaib Malik or Younis Khan? Shoaib Malik or Abdul Razzaq.... once Inzi retires we will have questions: Inzi or Miandad? ................. life goes on.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Exactly what i was thinking lol
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
I'd take Inzi over the other two anyday, he is very good under pressure, but on current form and on a regular basis, I would take Yousuf.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Technically better player is Muhammed Yousaf without doubt. Yousaf also has a more flair and makes looks so easy. He has better test average and has 20 centuries in 70 tests. If Yousaf plays as many tests as Inzi I can see him beating his record.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
^No chance, Yousuf started his career a bit late.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
What difference does it make if Yousaf started his career late? If someone started their careers before him or at younger age does that automatically make them a better batsman?
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Technically better: Yousaf
Matchwinning abilities :Inzamam ,he has 17 matchwinning 100s ,more than any other non-aussie player,
Yousaf has only 5 so far,
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Technically better: Inzi.
Yousaf is more stylish, but his lack of foot movement outside off stump makes him vulnerable to outswingers.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Yousaf plays the role Salim Malik used to play along side Javed Miandad.
In my opinion Inzimam remains at the top, and I would be tempted to him in as the best batsman in Pak history !
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
*Yousuf is the more stylish of the two, and very, very elegant. Inzi is the man who I would send in when the chips are down though. *
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
I meant that he cannot surpass Inzi's records because of his age.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Yousuf has a good four, five years left in him. He can do it if he continues such amazing performances.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
Inzi is a class act! I would watch Inzi bat over any other batsman in the world with Lara coming close next.
Inzi plays well under pressure whereas Yousuf is more of a comfort zone player. I remember Inzi from the semifinal of WC 1992 and he has been a great ever since.
Re: Muhammad Yusuf vs Inzamam Ul Haq, who is your favourite batsman?
I think both of them are good players, technically sound. I think Inzi is a better player if we combined ODI an test. I will count Inzi in the categories of Lara, Tendulkar and Ponting, though he is way behind in his fitness through out his career. Plus he is not a very proactive player, who will run down the pitch and advise his younger partner.
Inzi can tear apart any bowling attack, fast or spin. Inzi is hard to be set up, while Yousaf could loose concentration. Yousaf build a tendency of batting good in some combination, like with Younis, Malik. Also it is evident that Yousaf learned to shoulder responsibility. Whenever, Inzi is out, Yousaf tends to bat more sensibly.
Presently, Inzi goes into category along with Ponting, Lara and Tendulkar; while Yousaf goes into catergory of Dravid, Jaywardenee, Martyne, Younis.
