To indicate how far Pakistan has fallen, I wanted to create an ODI XI of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.

Not long ago, an ODI XI between India and Pakistan would be dominated by Pakistan. Today, maybe 1 Pakistani Player gets into the Indian Team. This is also important because on the heels of the recent one day drubbing against Australia, Mickey Arthur and the Quiet Selection Committee suggest that the result would have been different if we played our best players. I beg to differ.

Combined XI

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Fakhar Zaman
3. Babar Azam
4. Mushfiqur Rahim
5. Shakib al Hasan
6. Mahmudullah
7. Mohammad Nabi
8. Rashid Khan
9. A Pakistani Fast Bowler
10. Hasan Ali
11. Mujeeb ur Rehman

FYI: The Young Players Coming Through in Afghanistan and Bangladesh are far better than Pakistan. The Under-19 Asia Cup Mauling Vindicates that Opinion.
 
you know what I miss? those asia vs world matches. It was always fun to see the whole subcontinent fans rooting for one team.
 
Pakistan and India Combined XI:

Fakhar Zaman
Rohit Sharma
Virat Kohli
Babar Azam
Haris Sohail
MS Dhoni
Shadab Khan
Hasan Ali
Kuldeep Yadav
Shaheen Afridi
Jasprit Bumrah
 
We've fallen but not THAT much. We're actually better than we were in the 2015 wc.

We would never take that hack in our team. Dawan > Zaman all day every day.

I agree. There is no way Fakhar Zaman is better than Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, or even the next 6 Indian Openers.

That would be true if we finish in the top 8 in this year's World Cup, which is worrying. The batting lineup is just as toothless as the one 4 years ago, if not worse. The bowling lineup has been ripped apart by every top side since the Champions Trophy, so no, I don't see any improvement.
 
This thread does dismiss Pakistan's chances in the World Cup. Pakistan has demonstrated an ability to do well in world tournaments irrespective of planning. Pakistan tends to get hot and lucky. This thread is to indicate that man for man, Pakistan is no longer producing world class cricketers.
 
Rohit
Dhawan
Kohli
Babar
Pant
Malik
Pandya
Kuldeep
Chahal
Hasan Ali
Bumrah

Malik will not even make our first XI now, how is he in the combined team? Haris Sohail is much better with good performances against quality opposition.

Dhoni is more experienced that's I why selected him, it can be anyone from India, Pakistan dosen't have WK's with good batting currently.

Shaheen, Shadab combo is better than Pandya, Chahal one.

Fakhar/Dhawan is a tough call with both going through poor form recently, but Fakhar it is for me.
 
Tamim
Fakhar
Babar
Haris
Rizwan
Hafeez
Imad
Rashid Khan
Shaheen
Hasan
Amir

9 Pakistanis, lol.
 
Only Tamim, Shakib and Rashid can get into our XI from entire Bangladesh and Afghanistan combined.

There is no cricketer in Pakistan who is better than Pandya. Unless injured, he will walk with close eyes.
 
Fakhar Zaman
Tamim Iqbal
Babar Azam
Haris Sohail
Sarfraz Ahmed(C)(Wk)
Mohammad Hafeez
Shakib Al Hasan
Rashid Khan
Hasan Ali
Mohammad Amir
Shaheen Afridi
 
the saud shakeels, talats, saad ali's... they got destroyed by India and Bangladesh emerging players
 
Amir has been rubbish for almost 2 years, bowling average of 100 in 2018 and 80 in 2019 so far. I would take Mustafizur over him.
 
I'm surprised how little traction Mushfiqur Rahim and Mujeeb ur Rehman are getting on this thread. To put Sarfraz who I like above Mushfiqur demonstrates a complete misinterpretation of fact.
 
Pakistan is being dominated at Age-Group level by India, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. This is Fact.
 
Fakhar Zaman C
Babar Azam
Haris Sohail
Mushfiqur Rahim
Shakib al Hasan
Mahmudullah
Shahzad WK
Rashid Khan
Hasan Ali
Shaheen Shah Afridi

Mashrafe Mortaza at 9 and to captain the side.

I don't believe Mashrafe Mortaza is a good enough bowler at this stage in his career to merit a position in a combined XI.

He is a good captain & decent bowler. Moreover at least 3 fast bowlers are must in an ODI team (I prefer 4 but I don't see any other good fast bowler). When shakib & Muhammadullah in team, there is no need to include all three of Rashid, Nabi & Mujeeb.
 
I opinion may be biased but a combined Pak/Bangla/Afghan XI will only feature Rashid Khan and Tamim Iqbal. The remaining 9 players will be from Pakistan.

Pakistan aint that bad.

Your point of thread is?
 
crap thread

I might slightly bias and I don’t follow the other teams but the 3 Pakistani players in a combined 11 is a joke. A reason why OP is unemployed!

Team would definately be full of Pakistani players, we are not as bad as being made out in this thread. I am willing to wager the OP £££ that we will finish higher than both Bangladesh and Afghanistan and prove this. Still so confident?

We are at our lowest ebb in terms of producing world class talent. Yet the vast majority of fans believe we have good players. In making that assessment we disrespect countries like Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Both of those countries are putting us to shame. This couldn't be more obvious in the recent Asia Cup where Bangladesh looked far superior to Pakistan in every way. They just had better players.

As mentioned before, Pakistan may still win games and make the Semifinal, but it won't be because we have a plan. It also won't be because we have great players or a great fitness regime. It will because fortune was on our side.

No one is hyping pakistan team but you are disrespecting bd .if we are bad do we really need to compare with others .

Right cause your keeper captain > Mushfiqur ... LOL. Had a Good laugh on both the Dahwan and this comment.
 
Only Shakib and Rashid can get into a playing 11 with Pakistan.

A Pakistan and India playing 11 will only have Babar Azam, Hassan Ali, Shaheen Afridi and possibly a middle order bat from Pakistan. I would leave Fakhar out because hes very inconsistent and has had a poor run lately but if he hits his destructive best he is world class.

Rizwan is better than Mushfiqur, Sarfraz is at par but gets the nod as a captain. Only Shakib and Rashid Khan can make the Pakistan squad. For Rashid I would still be uncertain in the ODI format since he hasnt played top opposition.

So your full strength side loses to us(who were missing shakib and tamim) but only Shakib can get into the Pakistan side. Okay.

Also compare Mushy's stats with that of Rizwan and Sarfaraz for the last 5 years.

I am not disrespecting BD at all. I am trying to bring awareness. Teams that sanctimonious fans think are minnows have in fact past us by because they are simply doing things better than us. Bangladesh does not have more talent than us. They also don't have the cricket heritage or tradition we have. But there player development specifically at youth level is infinitely better than ours. Rather than using the term minnows or discrediting them, we should take a serious look in the mirror and begin to address the problems that are preventing us from reaching our true potential.

Wait what you were the one who created the combined odi 11 which also have 4 bd player in above list .now you are saying bd this and that .

i am still trying to understand your point of creating this thread.if you have listed bd above then do give respect rather than bluntly changing from one point of view to other.

I would invite you to go look at the stats before throwing empty remarks. Both mushfiqur and Nabi will walk into your team without a doubt. Neutral fans would pick Shezad over Safraz.
 
Don't know how people are still picking that hack Fakhar. My combined Pak, Afg and Ban will be......

Tamim Iqbal
Imam Ul Haq
Babar Azam
Mushfiq Ur Rahim (wk)
Shakib Al Hasan (C)
Mohammed Hafeez
Mohammed Nabi
Rashid Khan
Hasan Ali
Shaheen Shah Afridi
Mustafizur Rahman

Even this combined XI would lose to the Indian team 8 out of 10 times. That's how far behind other Asian teams are from the Indian team.
 
And if we make a combined Asian XI ( which also includes India as well )

Shikhar Dhawan
Rohit Sharma
Virat Kohli (C)
Babar Azam
Mushfiq Ur Rahim (WK)
Mohammed Hafeez
Hardik Pandya
Rashid Khan
Kuldeep Yadav
Jasprit Bumrah
Shaheen Shah Afridi
 
Feel personally attacked by the thread title.

So this is our level now, lol. Combined XIs with the likes of Bangla and Afghanistan.

Not far from the truth either.

No need to disrespect Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Yes we have fallen to lower levels, but those two have risen to higher levels and may even overtake us pretty soon. We shouldn't be too cocky and disrespectful to them.
 
Truth is, on the grand stage, Pakistan is still light-years ahead of the two. That says more about how bad Bangladesh and Afghanistan are, instead of how good Pakistan is.

Of course, but it is sad, from rivaling Aussies in the 80s, smashing England and India for fun in the 90s, now we are brainstorming combined XI with Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

3. Babar Azam

9. Mashrafe Murtaza (c)
10. Hasan Ali
11. Shaheen Afridi

I forgot Fizz.. So, Mustafiz in place of Shaheen Afridi.
 
A combined India-Pakistan ODI XI would be

Rohit
Dhawan
Kohli
Babar
Vijay Shankar
Pant
Pandya
Kuldeep
Chahal
Shaheen
Bumrah
 
Vijay Shankar ? :vk2

Swap Haris for Shankar and Shadab for chahal and it's pretty apt.

OP's team has too many spinners and although Tamim is a sound batsman, he's far too selfish for me to give him the nod over other option. Otherwise a very a good team with an excellent choice of middle and lower order batsmen.

Mohammad Shahzad
Fakhar
Babar
Mushfiqur (wk)
Shakib (c)
Mahmdullah
Nabi
Rashid Khan
Hasan Ali
Amir
Shaheen
 
Shaheen is levels above Mustafiz as a bowler in odis and tests.

Shaheen is doing good and I hope he will do even better in future but he has played just 10 ODIs, so its too early to judge him.

That was the point of this thread. This should motivate us to be better.
 
Afghanistan do not play at the level to be included in any combined eleven.
 
One thing is certain. Specialist captain Sarfraz will not make it. Funny, how the captain of the strongest of these 3 teams will not make as a player on the weakest Afghanistan team.

He'd make it onto the Afg team 100%.

Also compare Mushy's stats with that of Rizwan and Sarfaraz for the last 5 years.

Scotland beat England. Does that mean most of Scotland's players will make it onto the England team?

You just beat us once. 2015 is too old now. Realistically speaking, we'll beat you comprehensively in the WC.
 
He'd make it onto the Afg team 100%.

You must be joking. Him over Shezad? Never! A neutral fan will go with Power hitter tub-tub Shezad over Safraz who doesn't deserve a spot in team pakistan, let alone another team.

The power hitter who's stats are inflated ny playing against weak teams but still averages only 1 above sarfraz and has only 2 higher strike rate. The power hitter that performs once every 10 matches.

Nah mate i'm fine. I'll take sarfaraz over Shahzad. He's a better captain and better batsman as well.
 
Only Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim would get into our team from Bangladesh. No one from Afghanistan.

1) Fakhar Zaman
2) Imam Ul Haq
3) Babar Azam
4) Haris Sohail
5) Shakib Al Hasan
6) Mushfiqur Rahim(Wk)
7) Mohammad Hafeez

I think Mahmudullah would make it instead of Hafeez and the Fizz over Wahab. I’d have Sarkar over Imam too.

Bangladesh - 5
Pakistan - 4
Afghanistan - 2

Interestingly, I have 4 all-rounders in my team and not one is from Pakistan. Maybe that's something PCT & PCB need to think about...
 
Really? Imam has 100s vs eng and sa.

Most Pak fans don’t like Imam’s slow SR, hasn’t played a match winning knock. Stop boasting about his slow 100s. Jheez!

Sarkar has match winning 100s one against Pakistan too.

In his short career Imam already played two match winning knocks, Against SA in SA and against Eng in this WC, he has age on his side to improve upon strike rate, talent and hunger is already there. Soumya albeit talented has a faulty technique and extremely unreliable.

SA - I agree, he was Man of the Series for a reason.

And against England in WC? No he hasn't.

Soumya looks solid when he is at the crease and gets starts but never really makes full use of them.
