They are both good batmsan. Neither of them can be classified as 'great'.
Sehwag's test average is much more impressive than Inzamam's but then Inzamam's ODI average is a lot more impressive then Sehwag's. Inzamam can certainly bat at all circumstances. He can bat extremely well under pressure. He has saved Pakistan on countless occasions. They have both been in good form lately. I think at the end, Sehwag will have accomplished more than Inzamam. Inzamam is getting old and because of his extremely unfit and fat body, the age is taking a big toll on him. Sehwag has still got a lot of time. Maybe about 8-10 years. He can accomplish a lot in that much time. Just to let everyone know...Sehwag looks a bit fat to me. |

Inzy and Sehwag are two different players. Inzamam is a better player,(he has scored like 82 ODI centuries) which means he is consistant. Inzamam is the player more likely to win you a match
I like watching Sehwag more though simply because of his attacking style and the wide range of shots he plays. But for match - winning innings, you cannot beat Inzamam Edited by vize |

Just a correction vize: Inzamam has 82 ODI fifties not 82 ODI centuries.
But you are right in saying that Inzamam is the one that is most likely to win you a match. Sehwag is exciting to watch because he is an attacking batsman. |

Ok, it was a typing error, I meant 82 fifties Thanks for correcting me
Sehwag is still a lot younger than Inzy though and it will be interesting to see if he can achieve what Inzy has done |

I would say Inzamam is a great, maybe a worldwide great but definately a Pakistani great. I find it hard to compare these two players as one is an opener and the other a high middle order player. However Inzy has to take much of the pressure in Pakistan's fragile batting line up. Sehwag has less pressure as you have Dravid, Tendulkar and Ganguly who have faced great pressure and reached great feats. |

That's true. Inzamam is the anchor of the Pakistan batting line-up and has a lot of pressure on him. He is also the captain of the team and always leads from the front.
Sehwag bats in a very strong batting line-up and doesn't have as much pressure as Inzamam does on his shoulders. But Sehwag is still somewhat young, and we will see if he can achieve everything Inzamam has achieved. Inzamam is certainly a Pakistani great. |

If Inzamam could lose some weight, he might be able to play longer. He needs to get fit if he wants to even play in the 2007 World Cup.
They have both done well in the India/Pakistan series. |

i disagree saadadvanced7. he has been unfit for much of his career. I do not see how people can call him unfit when he hits back to back 100s?! All depends on how is back serves him and that will prove if he can play in the 2007 World Cup.

Are you saying that Inzamam is fit? Come on, let me truthful to ourselves. It's pretty obvious that Inzamam is fat and unfit. I am not saying that he isn't a class batsman. I am just saying if he was fit, imagine what a 'great' batsman he would be then. I mean, he's already such a good batsman even with all that fat...if he was fit, he would be a 'great' batsman.
I hope he goes on a diet and gets fit. Then we will be able to see him win some more games for Pakistan, Insh'Allah. |

Sure he's got amazing stamina, but he isn't fit. That's a fact.

i don't see how anyone has the right to criticise Inzamam. Sure hes not the fittest of players, but hes a human being at the end of the day, and cricket is a recreational sport. Your criticising his weight as if he's sinned or something, and saying he's too lazy. I'd like to see any of you in your 'fit' conditions have a cricket record like Inzamam does. Not only that, bring me all those 'fit' cricketers who have passed through time with average records or just being the highlights of their times. Inzamam will be remembered long after he retires. When Inzy stops batting like a true legend, thats when I'll accept your claims. |

I didn't say he had a bad record, and I didn't question his greatness. He's not even a great batsman. He's a Pakistani great. He will only be remembered by Pakistanis long after he's gone. I hate to say it but its true. He is not a 'great' batsman. He could've become a 'great' batsman if he went on a diet early in his career and got fit. He's so fat and unfit and still he's a fine batsman. Now imagine if he was fit, then he would probably be better than Sachin Tendulkar.
I'm not saying that its his fault that he is fat...but it is his fault that he didn't lose that fat. Its not like he's so poor that he can't afford a diet program. In response to your second paragraph...that's exactly what I've been trying to say. Inzamam is fat and unfit but he is still a highlight of his era...now those batsman that weren't fat and were fitter than Inzamam were still only highlights of there eras...now if Inzamam was fit, he would be an all time legend like Sachin or Lara...not just a highlight of his era. No doubt Inzamam has fine averages, and stats, but you know and I know that if he wasn't fat and was fit, those stats and averages would be much, much better. |

i regard inzamam fattness as his power as well. i think it is due to his physical feature he has been such a strong player. even though by being fat he is having trouble with his health, sometimes it might be advantageous as well.

Its like comparing a novice with a sage.Seriously no comparision at all infact hes better batsman than Tendulkar 'cause most of his innings are for Pakistan played at the very crucial moment like bringing Pakistan from mouth of death.

You are right in saying that Inzamam has saved Pakistan on countless occasions but that doesn't make him better than Tendulkar.
Tendulkar has rewritten the record books. He is in a class of his own. He is a living legend. He is a genius. Inzamam's stats are quite impressive but not as impressive as Tendulkar's. Anyway, in answer to the question of the thread, Inzamam is better than Sehwag. |

lets just put it this way...if you were Inzy at the moment you wouldn't be complaining if he's fat or not would you...he's hitting runs for fun!

First of all, Inzamam is not the best present player. Sehwag does not come into the 'great' category. He is a good batsman...no where near greatness though. Inzamam is in good form and is certainly a better batsman then Sehwag. The best batsman at the moment would have to be Younis Khan. |

Ok, then why don't you tell me a batsman that's been in better form than Younis Khan. Younis just scored 550+ runs in the India/Pakistan series. That's outstanding and a very hard feat to achieve. |

that is with indai remember. he always perform brilliantly with india. last time also he had a double century. but i dont think he can show the same performance against other teams like australai,south africa. if he can perform in the same way in other series as well, then he can be considered as the best player . i agree that getting 550+ is outstanding . so i guess i have to say he is the best player against india. |

He is not far behind either he has got 10,000 plus runs in ODIs and those were not my words I watched a prog. on star and most of cricketers call him better than tendulkar and ofcourse I concur to them ...remember he was given the best player from current cricketing scenario by the world rest belong to diff sports . |

I disagree with Saad as he said Inzy is good but not great..He is one of the great player cricket has ever produced..Certainly Sehwag is good but in my opinion we can't compare him with the likes of Sachin,Lara,Inzy,Ponting...We can better compare sehwag with Afridi or Gilchrist...Inzy is definitely world class and if he would have been a little more fit,He could've broken Sachin's records..

I agree with ajith. You cannot compare sehwag to the likes of inzamam n lara. The other poll or whether it is afridi or sehwag is much better. Inzamam and sehwag are both good players in their own way but they are completely different players to be compared with one another.
