[MenInG]

Looks like list based upon no special reasons.

Either you put some more thought and explain why you chose each or we shut down this thread.

No chokers yet has multiple individuals who played in 99 finals and 2003 WC.

Way to try and pretend that this isn't a poor attempt at an anti Babar and Rizwan thread )

1. Javed Miandad - Test Legend, excellent strategist, ODI Legend, inventor of many shots - the original 360 player, WC winner, performed in semi and final, Nehru cup winner, last ball six . No further reason required.
2. Inzi, very good test record, WC winner, performed in semi and final - loses some points for his pathetic wc record after that, but can’t discount his other matchwinning chases and knocks too.
3. Saeed Anwar - One of the best test openers ever Pakistan produced, oozed class, legendary ODI innings, best ODI opener by a country mile

Honourable mentions, Yousuf and Saleem Malik

They weren't chokes. 2003 over the hill, 1999 came up against the best team in history.

Okay here is my list( didn't understand the choker part, you gotta be good enough to choke and hard to put 20 names for that ):-

1. Javed
2. Inzy
3. YK
4. Babar
5. Anwar
6. Yousuf
7. Abbas
8. Saleem
9. Hanif
10. Majid
11. Babar
12. Misbah
13. Azhar Ali

All of these guys average 40+. Btw, I feel folks have missed Mohammad Mushtaq, one of the impact cricketers for Pakistan in 70s. He should be in 20 for sure if you are including Asif Iqbal in 15.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

babar is still our best batter and should be on top at every list of Pakistan, its baffling two failuers and knives are out.

[happydavy]

OP could have simply created a one liner thread saying he doesn't like Babar much rather than spending so much time listing 20 batsmen.

 

[WengerOut]

From whatever i have watched, Inzi followed by MoYo are the best. Rest are moot point.

Never mind, Pujara will be in top 5 if he changes his nationality to Pakistani.
