Many threads here about the best Pakistan XI in Tests, but what about ODI's?

Saeed Anwar
Shahid Afridi
Zaheer Abbas
Javed Miandad
Inzamam-Ul-Haq
Imran Khan (C)
Abdul Razzaq
Moin Khan (wk)
Wasim Akram
Shoaib Akhtar
Saqlain Mushtaq

Saeed Anwar is an automatic choice, he is by far the best opener we have had. Infact, he is the only world class opener we have had. I couldn't find a place for Afridi down the order, that's why is opening. Aamer Sohail could have also opened, it would strengthen our batting but also weaken our bowling. Another option is Ijaz Ahmed, who usually played at three, but he could open without any problem.

I've never seen Zaheer Abbas play, but his records show that he must be one of Pakistan best ODI-batsman ever. Inzamam-Ul-Haq is a certainty at number five. Number four is a bit tricky, Yousuf of Miandad? Both are very good batsman, but I feel that in a team with so many strokemakers you need one to play the anchor role. Thats why I chose Miandad. Sadly no place for Salim Malik either, a very under-rated ODI batsman.

Lower down the order comes Imran Khan, no need to say more. Followed by Abdul Razzaq, the only other world-class fast-bowling allrounder we have produced. Moin Khan is a natural choice for the keeping duties and for his abilities a lower-order batsman.

Wasim Akram comes at eight, maybe the best fast-bowler in ODI's the world has ever seen. Saqlain was probably the best spinner in ODI's when at his prime. And yes, he was better than Muralitharan. The hardest decision for me was, Shoaib or Waqar? They have so identical stats that it's almost scary. But in the end I went for Shoaib.

Just for the heck of entertainment (Dancing, Eating, Shampoo Ads) Afridi is a must in every Pakistan ODI Eleven.
 
Fair enough, your call, though you already have 3 seamers, therefore Afridi with his spin will add more variety (in tandem with Saqlain) than Abdul Razzaq would.

Thats the only possible problem 5 bowlers, however all 5 bowlers at their peak would be more than sufficient
 
This is to all you posting your XIs:

Who would you open the bowling with? Who'd be first change? Who'd bowl their full quota? And who would you bowl at the death?

Wasim and Imran opening the bowling. Followed by Shoaib. Imran bowling a longer spell with the new ball, Wasim and Shoaib bowling 4-5 overs each.

Followed by a few overs from Razzaq before the spin of Afridi and Saqlain in the middle overs.

Shoaib, Wasim and Razzaq to bowl at the death.

I agree - in dropping catches

Short memory? Moin Khan dropped loads of catches. He wasn't a great keeper at all.

Infact, this is ODI. Akmal has been pretty decent in ODI's, its his test form with Kaneria.
 
If we go on pure wicketkeeping, Lateef beats them all.

If we go Keeper/Batsman, I think Akmal should get a nod ahead of Moin.
 
batsman keeper, akmal beats all of them
if it was test then akmal will never make it, but odis, he is more than good

All time best Pak ODI XI

Well folks I was thinking about what could be best Pakistan ODI XI ever. A team that can beast the rest of the teams. I think the below team is possibly the best ever. What you folks think ?

Majid Khan ( can bowl )
S.Anwar
Z.Abbas
I.Haq
J.Miandad
I.Khan
S.Afridi
R.Latif
W.Akram
W.Younis.
S.Mustaq


This team has strong middle order, with a deep batting line up with Akram being no mug with the bat. As far as bowling is concerned Imran and akram to open bowling followed by Waqar. Saqlain and afridi would do spin. Majid khan can also chip in with some overs if required. I preferred Afridi over A.Qadir because of his batting abilities.
 
Misbah should be in the side as captain. Perhaps drop Imran Khan to get him in.

Team already has three pace bowlers plus Majid Khan is also a seamer. The batting will become weak. Moin and Akram are good hitters not batsman. For variation team needs another spinner

Yes surely Moin and Akram are hitters but Afridi is a proper batsman..As for Moin being in the side he was a match winner unlike Rashid who was a great keeper but he never scored runs to help us win games whereas I can remember Moin scoring many match saving innings when our top order faltered...
 
Afridi is chosen because he is a spinner. The team already has 3 frontline seamers plus Majid Khan is also a seamer.

There can be only one between Razzak / Afridi.

and so you chose the dunce Afridi ahead of him even though Razzaq averages better with both bat and ball and has proved enough times who is a better player? Great logic! :inti

Razzak averages better. But afridi provides the variation. He is a spinner. A dream team should be able to compete on any surface.
 
Can't believe most people are selecting Afridi, based on what stats?

Amazing how many people are ignoring Yousuf. To put it into perspective, Yousuf has scored at an higher average than Inzy with a higher strike rate. Nowadays it seems he can't even make our WC squad, nevermind the all the ODI XI.

Would definitely pick Zaheer ahead Sohail. Superior in every department and one of our top three ODI batsmen ever.

Could possibly pick Razzack ahead of Akhtar if you wanted to strengthen the batting. Which I would.

I would be tempted to pick Majid ahead of Yousuf, as you already have Javed and Inzy to play the anchor. Majid would give much needed impetus to the innings.

I would go with Saqlain but his effectiveness became limited as soon as his doosra was figured out, so Qadir might be an option.

Would you really need Razzaq if you have Moin and Wasim down the order? They're no slouches with the bat. Akhtar, imo, is a must for a Pakistani ODI XI.

Its a tough call but I just felt the batting was a little thin.

Purely from a bowling point of view Shoaib wins hands down.

However, at his peak Razzack wasn't a bad ODI bowler and would be a good 5th bowler. Razzack was a better bat than Wasim and more destructive than Moin.

The only drawback to my side is that outside the frontline bowlers there isn't anyone else.

ODI is mainly about batsman and I do feel within reason you have to pack your side with as many batting options as possible.

Unfortunately, Shoaib as a bowler is some way behind Imran, Wasim and Waqar and so misses out.

Hm, I've hear Razzaq at his prime was good enough to keep Waqar out the squad. Even still, he hasn't shown enough consistency with bat and ball to be put in over Akhtar imo. He's done more than enough to be there in place of Afridi though.

I personally disagree on the last part. Akhtar - Wasim - Waqar, Imran would be an afterthought in this attack!

I can see where your coming from. It all boils down to the balance that you want in your team.

One point i do have to disagree with you on is Imran.

Imran was our greatest ever bowler (admittedly in Tests). His stats would have been even more impressive if he had played during the ODI explosion of the 90s.

In the late 70's and early 80's ODI's were used as warm ups for Tests. You also have to take in to account that his stats are skewed by his declining years where played mainly as a batsman, who turned his arm over. That said his record is remarkably consistent against all teams and no minnow bashing either.
 
The key here is the balance of the team. It must have at least 6 bowling options.
Rashid Latif is better keeper than Moin Khan. When you have bowlers like saqlain, waqar, wasim and Imran you need good keeper to take catches and stumpings. Rashid is also not way behind than Moin in terms of batting average.

Majid Khan was one of the best players of fast bowling, Played in an era where there were genuine fast bowlers around. With him in the team, he gives option of another seamer.

any ways just try to point out any weak prospect in my team if any?? i beleive i m a better selector than iqbal qasim ... :)))
 
yeah it's for odis... but i guess not that bad for test matches either...
 
I totally agree with your team but Majid Khan could also be included in it. Maybe at the expense of Zaheer Abbas, who (many thought) had a deficiency against genuine fast bowling. Majid Khan scored Pakistan's first ODI century and was Pakistan's most majestic timer of the ball (equal with Zaheer Abbas and Saeed Anwar).

Since you played Razzaq, I would have to assume... it is an ODI team.

But it a great collection of names/players but you can't call it a "team".

Because..... Zaheer never opened in ODIs...
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...orderby=default;template=results;type=batting

..Miandad batted at one-down in only 18 out 218 of his innings.
..Imran batted at #4 in only 8 out of his 151 innings.

Therefore I would switch the batting order like this ...after replacing Yousuf with Majid.

thanks for correction ..i just mentioned my all time 11 regardless of their batting position..but i guess i have included a fair combination
 
I 'll pick 12 men team - depending on wicket there 'll be a floating place. & I am picking players considering their peak 3 years (not entire career)

1. Saeed
2. Shohail
3. Zaheer
4. Javed (VCp.)
5. Inzamam
6. Imran (Cp.)
7. Razzak/Afridi (floating position depending on wicket/opposition)
8. Moin
9. Wasim
10. Saqlain
11. Waquar

If it's a 15 member squad, my rest 3 players 'll be Shohaib, MoYo & A Quadir - absolutely outstanding squad. I believe, if we make a similar all time XV, probably only West Indies 'll have a better squad. & this squad 'll probably be the overall best if we theoretically consider different conditions - Subcontinent, Australia, England, South Africa & West Indies. For every condition they have a top bowling attack - Fast bowler, fast-medium swing bowler, the greatest Lefty fast bowler (& probably ODI bowler as well), a top quality leggi, probably the best ever ODI offie, a very handy & cunning left-arm spinner, the best 3 bowlers for the last 10 overs, a great Captain & the best ever Fast bowling Test all-rounder, 2 of the best ever match winners coming at 4 & 5 (& a dynamic No. 3, at his time only second to the greatest ever), one of the best ever ODI opener, a top class floating No. 7, who can win matches either with bat or ball, a tail having someone with 2 Test 100 batting at 10 (& quite aggressive tail). Only weakness that I see is Shohail isn't an ATG, while Moin is just not that good with gloves (Not to mention fielding but then, considering PAK standards, this is quite a good fielding side).

Not surprised to see the current status of PAK ODI team - not a single player 'll make into the Second XI even.

Yep seems perfect to me. The top 4 are solid bats with average above 40. Inzamam's average is almost 40. Whereas we have Imran Khan, Abdul Razzaq, Moin Khan and Wasim Akram to deliver the fire power at the end.

And yes i have Moin Khan ahead of Kami. The reason is i cannot imagine a keeper worse than Kami. Secondly the opener position is already occupied and Kami sucks down the order.

Waqar makes it in front of Shoaib Akhtar. Moin Khan beats Rashid Latif to the spot because of a better average and strike rate.
