Ijaz pretty easily. Impressive record against the Aussies, and much more dominant when he gets going.

Obviously not a lot between them in ODIs, Hick probably slightly better. What's interesting is that there's not actually a lot between them in terms of Test success - both were successful for a relatively short time: Hick 1993 to 1995 inclusive (ie, 3 years), Ijaz 1995 to 1999 inclusive (ie, 5 years).
What seals the Test matter Ijaz's way is that when Ijaz was poor he was merely poor; when Hick was poor he was generally utterly awful.
So Ijaz in Tests, Hick probably just in ODIs.

I think "both were, in Tests, often below par" is probably a more accurate description TBH.

Pretty impressive IIRC. Had a liking for Aussie attack. 47.2 average with 6 centuries

During the juniors Basit was considered more talented then Anwar and Inzi, started brilliantly against Ambrose, Walsh and Bishop that too away from home. Got involved in team politics lost focus and just could never recover and a promising career got ruined pretty early those who have seen him bat in his early games would know the incredible promise he showed.
As for wasim yeah Ijaz was a better player but this guy was lovely to watch even if he didn't score many runs so a soft spot for him.

Ijaz for me, though agreeing with Xuhaib here.

Don't think Ijaz was that bad to be honest. Obviously not in the top tier of batsman but on his day was brutally effective against any bowler.

I remember how he battered india in 97 odi@ lahore.139* off 80 odd balls.pak won by 9 wickets.219/1 off 26 overs.utter madness.
he opened with boom boom that day/night.
A 20/20 type innings before the age of 20/20.
Cricket in the 90's...good times
