I've always thought that Inzamam ul Haq has really shone when in tight situations like in the Bangladesh thriller, who else always seems to shine when their team really needs them?

Ravi Rampaul. :P
He made all the right impressions when he toured SA... but surely you cant judge him on one over, or is he very good domestically at finishing things off???

Waugh always got a good reputation for it, but statisticall wasn't as hot as he was talked up to be - still very good, nonetheless.

Seeing as I'm a bigoted English nationalist ( :rolleyes: ), Thorpe and Collingwood and Goughie.

Mills did get carted but you can't fault him for bowling a brilliant leg stump yorker when the pressure was at its highest point.

I would say Gilchrist he performes under pressure extreamly well.

He does not let the pressure effect his natrual game and soon enough the pressure that was on him is on the bowlers and he take's full advantage.

Dont really agree on Inzimam being apressure player,

How about players who underperform when playing in pressure situations.

i think we have a winner

this would require a seperate thread but anyways entire indian team will qualify for this. specially gangly,tendulkar,dravid(only in ODI format becoz he is natural test player).

shcewag,laxman,yuvraj can be exceptions only if they do not have chokers on other end.

Why Ganguly? It can be Indian team as a whole ,( even Pak team whenever they play against Aus).

I don't think Sachin chokes, howeve i do think Indian pacers do underperform in tight situation

who the hell are u talking about???the same guy who failed in every single match against india???(including on the indian tour!)
the only time he has come under any sort of pressure in 4 years and look at him choke!the adam gilchrist i know is the one that comes in with australia at 400/5 trying to accelerate the innings against a worn out and demoralised attack. sure u can bring up his innings against pak but that was 6 years ago and he was very fortunate.
