imran khan- would be fun as he explains things with those hand gestures.
bradman - just to know how did he do it?
zaheer abbas- it would be fun to see the asian bradman and the normal bradman together.
gary sobers- and start the who was the greatest all rounder talk.
wasim akram- seems like a fun guy.
Miggy , this is not fair . As the initiator of thread , you got to list your five with reasons too .
Imran Khan - Leadership
Asif Iqbal - Sensible cricket conversation
Don Bradman - Do I need to give a reason?
WG Grace - Just to talk/ask about cricket in his era.
Above 4 are automatic choices......
then I'd have very tough time deciding about 5th between these players.... in alphabetical order;
Alvin Kallicharan - Class batsman & a true gentleman
Chandrashekhar - Class blower & a true gentleman
Fazal Mahmood - First of the two genuine cricketer of Pakistan.
Gary Sobers - Arguably the best all-rounder
Hanif Mohammad - First of the two genuine cricketer of Pakistan.
Jeff Thompson - Way too fast
Mike Brearly - The Art of Captaincy
Mohammad Irfan - Work ethics
Raul Dravid - Class batsman & a true gentleman
Vishwanath - Class batsman & a true gentleman
So I would invite all of the above.
..and yes, I will NOT invite Afridi, Sachin & Viv Richards!
Salim Malik.
Hansie Cronje.
Azhar udin.
Wasim Akram
Shane Warne
Next round
Aamir Sohail
Sarfraz Nawaz
Rashid latif
Basit Ali
Tim May.

Imran khan. Viv Richards. Wasim akram. .Botham. merv Hughes
touche!
I would say
Imran, Sobers, Fazal Mahmood, Umar Akmal and Majid Khan!
Imagine what we would learn from them - !!!
I cannot believe you aspire to have dinner with chota Akmal . PP Alert,we have a closet Ukmal fan in Miggy
Guess - I want to see what the older generation could tell Umar Akmal.
Also remember even Akmal may have something to teach older gens
In the words of Allama Iqbal
"Jawanon ko peeron ka Ustad Kar"
Well for me probably:
Fazal Mahmood
Abdul Hafeez Kardar
Garry Sobers
Imran Khan
Kapil Dev
What about having a team of players from different generations playing in same team sharing same dressing room? Imagine Imran and Botham playing for same team after all those issues...
imran farhat
faisal iqbal
shoaib malik
hafeez
misbah
i would invite them at home and make them sit for hours and hours and hours and hours in the name of cricket conversation without serving any food or drink. And then open the exit door n say goodbye it was nice talking to you.

Imran Farhat
Faisal Iqbal
Shoaib Malik

It's so hard to exclude 2 of these 3 well fine i will invite Fazal and Kardar some other day to discuss those early days of Pakistan cricket.
So now 1 from each team:
Don Bradman
Garry Sobers
Imran Khan
Kapil Dev
Richard Hadlee
bahot all rounders se yarana hei
ab aysee be koi baat nae itefaq samaj lo...
haha . there was this astounding song just now on a channel which was sung by Asha Bhonsle & it went some thing like this : zindagi itefaaq hei ,kal bhi itefaaq thi or aaj bhi itefaaq hei ............. loved it
On a serious note though, I would like to invite those who are humble and more easy to get social with in a non formal and sorta casual environment so everybody is at ease.
Hashim Amla will be one of them. He is a very good and down to earth guy with no attitude.
Muhammd Yusuf. Down to earth, no ego.
Then you have Imran Khan who has past his years of arrogance and ego, and now he has become an extremely easy and approachable person to have a totally awesome conversation with.
I will definitely invite Bob Woolmer. He knows desi environment and will easily fit in the Mehful
And finally I will invite Rashid Latif. He is a brutally honest person and talks straight. He sometimes may not be very articulate with his words and thus his statements are sometimes taken out of context and blown out of proportion but this guy is the only person I trust.
So my Mehful - e - sama will be,
Hashim Amla
Muhammad Yousuf
Imran Khan
Bob Woolmer
Rashid Lateef
I would have liked to invite Viv Richards as he is a big name with No ego but I don't see him gelling or fitting in that desi mahole with the touch of Woolmer who was also half desi.

i am surprised nobody wants kohli at their party. he could be fun.
Kohli ke saath disc mein jayenge Sai - would actually take Dhoini, Jaddu,Dhawan & Warne along too [ Liz Hurley bhi aayegi shayad]
Shahid Afridi
Junaid Khan
Younus Khan
Imran Khan
Umar Gul
All Pathans together?
You missed Majid Khan, Bazid Khan, Yasir Shah and many more...
Majid and bazid are from lahore as is imran. Having khan in your name doesnt mean you are a pathan
Anyone but Inzamam-- doubt I have enough food to feed him.

5 cricketers and different personalities from different world and eras
Sachin Tendulkar - So mahy questions? How he dealt with so much fame, how it affected his personal life, what are his cricketing motivations, what drives him to play so many matches and for so long at such a great level and how he kept his feet firmly on the ground for so many years in a cricketing mad country
i wonder about this ^ too Zaz . My friends Dad[ they live in Bombay] is a director in UTV & he has been to parties where SRT was present & they know each other basically , so he once arranged for my friend to meet him at a shoot . My friend says the Man has no airs,no nakhras & is very polite with every one . This part of his personality i find amazing ,being a superstar for so long, so rich [ his net worth is estimated to be slightly over 150 million $ ] & yet so humble & dedicated .
And I'll sit back and watch the fireworks. Probably egg Symonds on when he gets bored too.
I know their family history dear living in lahore doesn't mean you can't be Pathan Imran mother was from Tribal agency while his father was from Niazi tribe which is located in some tribal agencies and in Mianwali district.
Dear Mianwali is in Punjab geographically and Niazis arent true pathans. They speak punjabi or seraiki. Imran, Bazid or Majid dont know a word of pushto or persian for that matter.
I know it's in Punjab but bordered with KPK cities like Bannu and Lucky Marwat and i have been there in Isah Khail(Minawali) many times they speak a mix language which is basically a mixture of Seriaki and Punjabi. It was actually not a part of Punjab before and although they don't speak Pakhto/Pashto but by blood they are still Pathan. It's like british born Pakistanis many of them can't speak urdu but by blood they are still Pakistani...
