Whose the better Test batsman between Laxman and Inzamam ? Both have often rescued there teams from pressure situations where defeat looked certain but who pips the other one as the best test Batsman ?
Inzamam is often hailed for his brilliant century against Bangladesh where he stood as the only man that helped his team avoid the biggest embarrassment of All-Times by securing a one wicket win , Inzamam has another special knock against Australia in karachi where he single-handedly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by taking the team home from an impossible situation where 60 runs were needed with only 1 wicket in hand .
Laxman on the other hand played once in a lifetime knock against Australia in 2010 where he successfully chased a target with more than 90 runs to get with only 2 wickets remaining , a situation where all the other high profile star batsmen of the team were back in the pavilion leaving all the burden of expectations on shoulders of the Very Very Special Laxman. But Boy he didnt disappoint anyone .
Laxman also gets the credit for playing arguably the Best Test innings of All-Time when he scored 281 runs against the Number 1 Australian side while the Indian side was still following on , only the 3rd instance of a team winning after failing to avoid the follow-on , Laxman's historical knock ended the strong 16 Matches Winning streak of the invincible Australians , a knock which will be Remembered as the greatest ever in history books .
Besides many of such pressure knocks , Laxman and Inzamam played many important knocks against Top teams all across the world .
In a comparison of two Giants of identical stature there was only one difference between Inzamam and Laxman , there individual performances against the 2 Top teams of there era which was the litmus test for the Asian Batsman's capability of playing all around the world in all type of conditions against the best fast bowlers .
While Inzamam had an ordinary batting average in the most testing conditions of Aus-Sa , Laxman was virtually the Best Batsman ever of his era .
Inzamam averaged only 30 in Australia and overall only 31 while Laxman averages 54 in Australia and overall 55 in all the matches .
In SA , Laxman averages well over 40 with two single -handedly match winning knocks while Inzamam averages only 30 , once again a performance which is unacceptable for batsman of his capability .
With Little to choose between Laxman and Inzamam the only indicator of the better batsman can be there performances against the Best Sides of there area , while Inzy has been pretty ordinary against the best sides Laxman has been the best ever Batsman even leaving behind the likes of Lara as well Tendulkar as far as Match winning contributions are concerned .
My Vote goes to Laxman for being the better Batsman in the most testing conditions - because thats how a player is usually judged by looking at his performances against the best .

and McGrath, Inzi averages 31.40 against matches involving the 2.
, Inzi overall a better player but if it's against Aussies you will take Laxman without even thinking
