Inzamam-ul-Haq's massive innings of 329 recently at Lahore also set a new highest individual innings record, previously held by Javed Miandad - 280 not out against India at Hyderabad (P) in the 1982-83 series. However, Hanif Mohammad's Pakistan record in away Tests and for that matter in all Tests has remained intact for the last 44 years. 'Little Master' Hanif Mohammad had then stunned the world by sticking at the wicket at Bridgetown, Barbados for 970 minutes and scoring 337 runs against the West Indies in 1957-58.
