Congratulations to the big man. It deserves a thread of it’s own as he has now broken into the top ten list for the highest score in test cricket of all time and confirmed his place amongst the best of the best today. We marvel at tiny batting genius Sachin Tendulkar often enough, now let’s show our appreciation for one of our own.
A great innings without a doubt and also good to see he is back in form which is music to the ears of Pakistanis. He was only 8 runs short of Hanif’s 337. Hope he continues like this.
**Pyaar Bhi Zindagi Ki Tarah Hota Hay.
Hur Mor Asan Nahin Hota, Hur Mor Pay Khushi Nahin Milti;
Pur Jub Hum Zindagi Ka Saath Nahin Chortay To Pyaar Ka Saath Kyon Chorayn. **
People have been pointing fingers at him on his run outs and his physique. People chant “Aloo Aloo Aloo” when ever he is coming for batting. I was kinda disappointed when I saw this happening in the karachi and Lahore one day matches.
Oh well, the jahils of our nation acknowledge the cursing factor of some of our players then humiliating our country’s superstar must fit right in their manners as well. Pathetic!

It is a few hours now since Inzi scored his 327 runs. Surprisingly the aussies have not produced any video yet to show that Steve Waugh last year scored 350 against India and no one noticed

Inzi could have broken Hanifs record of 337 easily had it not being for Shoiab Akhters lust to hit sixes!!! Shoiab was playing quite well, some excellent strokes but then he hit a six and thought he could hit one again, and yes, he got out!!! Then inzi had to hit some big ones as his last partner wasnt too good with the bat...
However, even if he had broken Hanifs record of 337 against the Windies in the Windies... I would personally say that nothing could match those innings, especially at a time when the Windies were rolling and Pakistani cricket was maturing.
Way to go Inzi!! (did u guys see how fast he had to run when he got to his 300!!)
