Inzamam-ul-Haq's 329 against New Zealand is the 11th-greatest innings of all time, according to the Wisden 100, the ratings system from Wisden.com which assesses each individual batting and bowling performance in Test history. Inzamam, whose innings set Pakistan on the way to a crushing innings-and-324-run victory at Lahore, missed out on a Top Ten berth by just 0.60 of a point. Nevertheless, his innings is the second-highest-rated triple-century in Tests. Only Brian Lara's world-record 375 against England in 1993-94 - at No.10 on the list -scores more.

The details of Inzamam's innings were fed into a computer and assessed according to 12 differently-weighted and independent parameters. The sheer number of runs - plus the fact that Pakistan went on to win the match - counted strongly in his favour, but the poor quality of New Zealand's attack counted against him.

Since the ratings were launched in July 2001, only three innings have ever broken into the top 100. Mark Butcher's 173 not out for England against Australia at Headingley last August was good enough for 49th position, while Nathan Astle's brutal 222 for New Zealand against England at Christchurch in March came in at No.72.
