Top 5 Number 5s in Tests for Pakistan

#2 Inzamam-ul-Haq

Inzamam-ul-Haq

He is arguably Pakistan's greatest modern batsman and in a Test career that spanned around 14 years from 1993 to 2007, the majestic Inzamam-ul-Haq was his nation's best batsmen during the majority of that period. He played in 120 Test matches for Pakistan and out of those, he played at number 5 in 39 of them.

The most important thing about Inzamam's batting was that he seemed to have a lot of time when he faced up to the fastest bowlers in the world and considering his prowess as a stroke-maker, he proved to be extremely damaging when in full flow. He was equally superb against spin bowling and it was quite rare for him to be flummoxed by any spinner.

The only possible weakness that Inzamam had as a batsman was that he was a poor runner between the wickets and he was often responsible for hilarious mix-ups. However, as a number 5, he was excellent and in those 39 games, he made 2144 runs at an average of 51.04 and scored 6 centuries, in addition to 14 half-centuries.
