NZ is underrated here. They have the 3rd best pace attack with two fast bowlers ranked in the top 10.
India.
No question about it.
deadly. Ishant Sharma is definitely the scariest camel I've ever seen.

Sure and this seems like a sincere attempt to trollWhatever you say Ishant is an amazing bowler.
India.

At home?
They are good at home. Send them to India, and they will struggle to get 20 Indian wickets just like India struggled there.
Even at home , they will be some where around 3-4.
Our pace attack is very average and Australia, South Africa and New Zealand are way ahead.
On paper, England is as well but they are collectively poor at the moment.
In terms of spin, we are still top.
All of their spinners suck and lyon usually gets gifted wickets. Sort of like indian bowlers who just wait for a batsman to make mistake.
Our pace attack is decent and still ahead of anyone else in the SC not to mention our spin is as strong as any of the others' pace

Being the best pace attack in the sub continent at the moment is like being the tallest dwarf![]()
they are very good in NZ overcast conditions. didnt really look that impressive in bangladesh. NZ need a good spinner.
Junaid isn't even in the same league as Southee and Boult.They won us a test in Sri Lanka and Tim Southee wasn't even in Bangladesh. See how you go without Junaid Khan.

Pakistan above NZ
The Pakistan attack is over rated, heavily reliant on one bowler who is only good in favorable conditions.
Junaid isn't even in the same league as Southee and Boult.
We didn't lose a single Test to Bangladesh![]()
Time and time again NZ have been our punching bags both in NZ and ICC events. Wasim, Waqar, Zahid, Akhtar have all toyed with them over and over again. Hell, even Sami has destroyed them in their backyard.Southee

Neesham
Anderson

IMO these attacks are very close, New Zealand has a much better pace attack while Pak has a much better spin attack.
On rank turners Pak wins, in crazy overcast conditions New Zealand wins.
However, Pak would perform better in overcast conditions than NZ would on turners/ roads.
Time will tell though I guess.
Yep, because Australia and SA have the best ODI bowling line ups going around..Congratz. Just an ODI series, then. Nothing to worry about.Where does the OP mention tests?

Your point is completely irrelevant.
And have you forgotten how Ross Taylor ended Akhtar's career in the previous WC?
uhh no, I think that was kamran akmal...
46.1
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, FOUR, poor delivery to begin with, swinging wide full toss way outside off stump, he capitalises, and slashes it over point and into the boundary
46.2
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, SIX, Taylor has made Pakistan pay dearly, another full toss, this time on the pads, and Ross swings it powerfully, flat and quick, over deep square leg
46.3
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, SIX, 141.1 kph high full toss, it's going horribly wrong for Shoaib, Taylor swivelled and hammered it miles over the deep midwicket boundary
46.4
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, 1 wide, 109 kph slower one but miles outside the off stump, more woes for Shoaib, will this over ever end for him?
46.4
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, no run, this was in the slot for Taylor, bouncing from a length, and he went for the big hit over deep midwicket again, but missed this time
46.5
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, FOUR, and another one, this time he waited in the crease for this length ball to come on comfortably wide outside off stump, and carved it over cover, no chance for sweeper cover
46.6
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, 1 wide, nightmare this is for Shoaib, this one is fired wide down the leg side
46.6
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, SIX, Rosco is back in style, brings up his century on his birthday, with a savage pull over deep midwicket for six, he was waiting for that shortish one on the stumps, and when it arrived, he was ready and raises his bat in celebration, the dressing room stands up and applauds
Sorry but what have Irfan and Talha done to be even ranked with Boult and Southee so early?
Irfan isn't even fit enough to play Test cricket, I'll be surprised if Pakistan choose him again for Test cricket.
As for Talha it's too early to say anything on him. Pakistan's attack becomes really easy to negotiate once you take the spinners out of the equation the sad truth is Pakistan have become too reliant on their spinners.
A spin dominant attack may win you games in the SC but it won't win you many (if any) in Aus, SA or England.
Akhtar's Last Over in International cricket(To Ross Taylor):
No wonder he retired after this.
Your point is completely irrelevant.
And have you forgotten how Ross Taylor ended Akhtar's career in the previous WC?
We won 1 Test in Aus and one in SL when we were still developing. This team has the potential to do a lot more over the years, I'm unsure what will happen to Pakistan's Test cricket once Ajmal, Misbah and Younis retire.
Back then we were rubbish, we've improved significantly since then.Last time we toured NZ, Rehman was the man of the match. We won the test series with our B bowling attack of Gul, Tanvir Ahmed, Wahab and Rehman![]()
I agree. NZ is a strong team now with many watchable cricketers. Looking forward to our next series with NZ.Back then we were rubbish, we've improved significantly since then.

What point about Junaid?.. I was talking about Ajmal.I am trying to remember when were you NOT rubbish in last many Pak tours to NZ.
As far as your point about Pak attack without Junaid is concerned, it is let say sillly. What is OZ attack without Johnson, SA attack without Steyn, Eng attack without Anderson? Pak is a country that kept producing bowlers after Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib, Asif, Amir. If not Junaid, someone else would Step up.

Nope, Pakistan's pacers are very green.Pakistan has best all round attack , because they have good spin option also.
Ryan Harris and Siddle are far better bowlers than Junaid, Talha and Bhatti.
I don't get the fuss about Pakistan's Test pace attack. Junaid has done nothing apart from performing vs Sri Lanka and still his average is continuously rising. It was 25 not long ago and now it touching 30.
Australia minus Johnson and South Africa minus Steyn are still miles better pace attacks than ours.
Junaid is just decent, Talha is a rookie and Bhatti is a nothing bowler.
Gone are the days where we would produce top class pacers. Too many trundlers coming up.
Junaid isn't a spearhead. He is a first change bowler in the mould of Gul who has become the star because he's the only credible bowler.

Exactly.you are the guy who called Bhavin Kumar a better bowler than Junaid. Let me take you seriously for a bit.
If SA is miles better than Pak without Steyn, why the heck they got beaten black and blue by AU with steyn?
So Bhatti is a nothing bowler after how many tests and ODIs experience?
You will take Ryan Harris on his last legs and legend Peter Siddle, who averages same as Junaid, Over Juanid. Interesting. Enough time given to a troll.
Exactly.
This guy just can't be a Pakistani. If he is one, he's not right in the head.
1)Australia
2)SOuth Africa
3)England
4)Pakistan
5)NZ/India
6)Sri Lanka
Then the rest..
Akhtar had Taylor twice if it wasn't for Kamran Akmal.
Akhtar's best ODI figures of 6/16 and best test figures 6/11 both came against NZ.
Averages 5.23 in tests against themPlayed two tests vs them and took 17 wickets for 89 with three 5-wicket hauls.
Overall, Pakistan and NZ have played 50 tests with each other with Pakistan winning 23 and NZ winning 7Pakistan bowlers average 27 against NZ. They average 35 against us with the ball.
ODI record is 51/35 in our favor.
If there is one team we have always dominated, it's NZ.
13.2
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, FOUR, Ross gets a birthday gift, it's the Kamran moment, Shoaib got the edge with a perfect delivery that zipped away just a shade, the ball flew between younis and Kamran, who initially appeared to go for it, and then did the keeper's version of shouldering arms, stood stone still, as a bemused Younis looked on
13.4
Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, no run, oh I don't believe this, two birthday gifts is too much, from the same man too, Shoaib has Ross pushing at a one that held its line,and the healthy edge goes ever so slowly to Kamran who is in good position to take it, gets gloves on it, and clangs it, Shoaib can't do anything about it, boy is he distraught
This was when Taylor had made 0 runs and 8 runs respectively, two straight forward catches dropped by kamran in the same over.
Akhter did nothing wrong, he basically got Taylor out twice before he got hit for runs.
Like seriously they were both easy catches go on youtube and search for them, you will facepalm yourself.
Did he get him out?
No he did not, and Ross Taylor slaughtered him afterwards and ended his career.
Akhtar was destroyed afterwards.
And Ross Taylor ended his career by that slaughter in the last over, those 2 dropped chances mean nothing now.
Are we talking about the same player who has a bowling average of 5.23 against NZ?

So Mamoon is not a pak fan.
Again we start this tirade?
Mamoon is more of a Ozzie type fan. We Ozzies tend to downrate our players because we are looking for flaws, particularly in comparison to the team we used to have. We are very difficult to please. It takes a lot for a player to win us over. On the other hand Pak fans are exuberantly optimistic. When they have a bloke that takes fifer in a match he's the best thing since sliced bread and their team is unbeatable. Then he fails the next and he's due for the rubbish heap and the team is shyte and heads must roll. Then another bloke takes fifer in another match and all is well with the world again. Just look at hussain's post just above mine![]()

Pakistan's bowling is underrated.
