Serious question? One list has three true fast bowlers including the best LOI bowler on the planet, a proven big game match winner (both of whom can reach 90 mph) and an adept and clever operator with a good IQ and diverse skillset.

The other list has three medium pacers, two of which have made a career bowling on shoddy domestic wickets at around the same speed Afridi bowled his leg breaks, and the other is a match fixer, albeit highly talented, in his mid 30s.

The first list across all formats and it's not even a question. The second list may be closer for tests but the first one has the young blood worth investing in long term and actual skills that can cut it against the best in the business on actual international decks.

First one is very good doe shorter format , second one for OD

 

[ExplicitAI]

The first bowling combination is the best in all 3 formats. No questions asked.

You make some good points. None of us have really seen Sadaf and Abbas bowl on international pitches. We have seen Abbas bowl in 3 test matches in uae and maybe 3 more in westindies. I always wonder what kind of talent is being wasted.

 

[Last Monetarist]

The former across all formats.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Is this a trick question?

 

[maxamax]

You know you can always mix it up.

 

[Hasan123]

1st one in ODIs definitely.

 

[giri26]

At least for tests it has to be Amir, Hasan and Rumman as Asif was never a great ODI bowler. In tests it can be this

Asif
Amir
Hasan.

perfectly said - seems like a troll question

 

[KyoOne]

On a green pitch, I' take later. Otherwise former

 

[Syed1]

The second one is garbage barring Asif.

 

[Subhan999]

I asked the question because everyone undervalues domestic performances of Abbas and Sadaf. All the other bowlers in the system have had the same opportunities as them, there's a season why they've topped the charts 5+ years in a row.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Amir, Hassan, Rumman any day anywhere.
