Nope! I am a Proud Pakistani.
It's just my opinion, Yasir hasn't yet played in SA or Australia, and in England in 2nd and 3rd Test his didn't take much wickets and failed to provide much control that's why Herath is in my overseas XI cause he has performed in SA and Australia as well and knows how to bowl all over the world. Ashwin though i still believe is not as good as Herath and Yasir overseas but in subcontinent, he is an absolute beast.

Agree totally with your SC team but your outside SC team lacks proper all rounders.Mathews can be that.

Agree totally with your SC team but your outside SC team lacks proper all rounders.Mathews can be that.

I know that. But there's hardly any quality seam bowling all rounder in asia. Mathews' bowling is pedestrian and wouldn't be much of an addition to the 4 men attack. Imagine if the team plays on an absolute patta in Australia which takes the spinner out of the equation. Then the side has to just manage with 3 pacers which would be inadequate (Mathews' bowling would do zilch on pattas). Hence I went for 4 genuine pacers and a spinner. Yes, the lower order is a bit light and maybe a batsman short. But I would expect a combination of BK+Amir+Yasir+Wahab to contribute something with the bat down the order.

As i said it's a total opinion of oneself not a fact or anything. If i were biased i would have picked all 11 from Pakistan. And i wrote below my SC team, Tamim is the unlucky one to miss out. Your allegation is totally absurd.
Like I asked, everyone post their teams below, seems like all you did was criticize.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Why is Amir in the team? What has he done to be there?

It's because ,no one to replace him.
