#4 Ijaz Ahmed (137) in Sydney, 1995
Possessing a stance which resembled a lumberjack more than a batsman, Ijaz Ahmed had a curious career for someone from the subcontinent. Unlike his Asian peers, he struggled on slow and low pitches but metamorphosed into a completely different beast on surfaces with good carry and bounce.
The second of his four centuries in the Trans-Tasman region came against a bowling attack featuring Craig McDermott, Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne. Having won the toss and opted to bat, Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals.
But, Ijaz stood firm at the other end and scored a remarkable 332-ball 137 which would result in a consolation victory. Since this match, their record in Australia stands at 9 losses from 9 Tests.
