Inzamam 42* v West Indies(Video)

After Pakistan's bowlers had done their bit, restricting West Indies to only 151, their batsmen needed to back it up with a competent performance. Instead, they played loose cricket early on. The fact that Inzamam took 18 balls to get off the mark tells you just how tidily the West Indians were bowling. Pakistanwere really in trouble at 90 for 5. Pakistan's hopes then rested squarely on the broad shoulders of Inzamam, who had stood firm like a rock at his end, unmindful of a slow run rate. pushing the score to 116 when Brian Lara brought Collymore back into the attack and Razzaq feathered a nick to the keeper.Inzamam, who had waited and watched, playing out the frontline bowlers, pounced on Marlon Samuels, cutting and pulling him for successive boundaries. Then Samuels pulled it back, trapping Rana Naved-ul-Hasan in front of the stumps.Abdul Rehman nicked Bradshaw only for Ramdin to put down the catch. But West Indies did not give up, and soon after Ramdin made amends, catching Rehman off Taylor,picking up his fifth catch, with 5 still needed for victory. In the end, though, Inzamam, a picture of patience and fully composed even under pressure, paced his innings to perfection, and when he pulled Taylor away to the fence for the winning runs, the crowd erupted. Inzamam's unbeaten 42 was worth a whole lot more than some of his hundreds made in easier conditions.
