00:00In Zamamul Haq, the gentle joint of Pakistan cricket stood as a colossal at the crease,
00:05a man whose very presence exuded calm assurance.
00:09In Zamamul Haq made his test debut for Pakistan against England at H. Boston in June 1992.
00:16His first test match was the part of Pakistan tour of England after their 1992 World Cup
00:21triumph.
00:22While he did not have a major impact in his debut innings, scoring just eight runs not
00:27out, he was later dropped for the final
00:29test of the series due to the vulnerability against swing-balling.
00:34Despite the early challenges, In Zamamul Haq went on to become a prolific test-bassman
00:39for Pakistan, scoring 8,830 runs in 120 matches with an average of 49.60.
00:47So In Zamamul Haq's first ball, and gets the batter.
00:57This is good stuff from De Freitas, because even though a declaration might be imminent,
01:02and the game may well be a draw, you must as a bowler still keep going and still show what
01:09you can do.
01:11And off the mark, Hansen Stark.
01:12See, just taking his time.
01:13Registration is in touch together.
01:18Well, and there are the two cops.
01:22Move his shoulder.
01:23And where the man came from, the ball goes to.
01:29I've also, it is here as you call him, actually played it there, but it was a safe shot there.
01:36Now it's Derek Rinder.
01:37I've also, it is here as you call him, actually played it there, but it was a safe shot there.
01:56Now it's Derek Rinder.
02:06Three runs off the oval.
02:08And that's the declaration.
02:12And Javid, whoops up the helmet and whoops up.
02:174.46 for four, Javid Miandad.
02:22A great performance from Pakistan.
02:244.46 for four.
02:26And a real day of joy, so far as the spectators were concerned.
02:29Rated by none other than Imran Khan as the finest player of pace in the world.
02:41The Mamulak batting was an exquisite plant of brute force and delicate artistry.
02:46For a man of such imposing build, his touch was almost poetic, guiding the ball into gaps
02:52with feather-light precision one moment, and dispatching into the fans with ferocious pulls
02:57and drives the neck, especially commanding off his legs.
03:01He turned good balls into run-scoring opportunities.
03:04His bat flowing like a well-oiled blade in the hands of a master craftsman.
03:09And yet aimed this elegance, the cricketing world often chuckled at his curious neck for
03:14comic runouts, a quirk that became as much a part of his legend as his centuries.
03:20Beyond the runs and records, Inzamamulak was the heartbeat of Pakistan batting order for
03:26over a decade.
03:27From his match-winning camo in the 1992 World Cup semi-final to marathon knock that anchored
03:33improbable chases.
03:34He thrived under pressure, often carrying the hopes of a nation on his broad shoulders.
03:39Opponent feared his ability to shift gears without warning, while teammates drew inspiration
03:45from his companion in the heart of battle.
03:48Whether caressing the ball to the ropes or standing unshaken in the face of hostile pace,
03:54Inzamamulak was more than a best man.
03:56He was a timeless reminder of cricket's beauty, power, and unpredictability.
