Who would you pick in a combined England-Pakistan XI?

[Nate]

I sense the force is not strong with this one...

 

[steds]

Bertie
Strauss
Yousuf
Inzi
Butt
Freddo
Razzaq
Adrian Shaw
Akhtar
Harmison (would have Hoggard, but he's French...)
Kaneria

 

[andyc]

Adrian Shaw

Who?

 

[steds]

He's the new Gilchrist, you know.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Harmison (would have Hoggard, but he's French...)

No-one else is going to get that apart from me......

 

[andyc]

He's the new Gilchrist, you know.

At 33 he's not the new anything

 

[Scaly piscine]

For me

1 Trescothick
2 Butt
3 Inzy
4 Yousuf
5 Bell
6 Afridi
7 Akmal
8 Flintoff
9 Akhtar
10 Harmison
11 Kaneria

Personaly i think this team would be better than world XI

Hmmmmmmmm really.

 

[Jono]

Depending on which Afridi shows up that is!

Well the Afridi that shows up is the same one every time. The only difference innings by innings is whether he's on or not. His attitude is always the same.

Either way, Freddy will still get at least 1 ball's more rest

 

[Jono]

Trescothick
Strauss
Yousuf
Inzy
Pietersen
Afridi
Flintoff
Akmal
Akhtar
Harmison
Kaneria

That actually looks like a damn good side.

Afridi, Flintoff and Pietersen all together in one test team batting one after the other. That'd be entertaining, whether they all launched plenty of sixes or the bowler got a hatrick.

Mohammad Yousuf
Shahid Afridi
Andrew Flintoff
Kamran Akmal
Shoaib Akhtar
Simon Jones/Matthew Hoggard (whoever is fit, preferably Jones)
Danish Kaneria

 

[andyc]

Hmmmmmmmm really.

What's your point?

 

[Jono]

What's your point?

I'm trying to figure that out too. They're 2 players who absolutely crapped on England in the series.

I guess he's referring to them both underperforming when they were in the World XI?

I thought maybe because they were in the World XI... but so was Harmison.

 

[Jono]

Harmy and Freddy were both in the World XI. Akhtar wasn't even in the test team anyway.
