12th Man: Kapil Dev

Kapil for Chandra and Kumble for Bedi. Otherwise, you're all good. Two spinners is overkill. Kirmani is not the best batsman, so Kapil can reinforce the batting at 7 or 8 as well as the bowling as the 4th seamer.

 

[Fusion]

Err, thats not 1976-2006.

completely missed that! Never mind then, I'll just go with your team instead!

Every time I do one of these things, I always forget to put a keeper in . Switch Kapil Dev for Kirmani.

You have Inzy over Dravid? I'm not complaining, just wondering why. He does score faster than Dravid, is that why? I feel Inzy is a very underrated batsman, but his running between the wickets is...err..lacking.

And probably a keeper should switch out Ahmed.

I switched Saeed Anwar for Majid, Rahul Dravid for Abbas and Anil Kumble for Bedi.

I really like Inzamam and Dravid. I think that (in no particular order) Inzamam, Wasim Akram, Hanif Mohammed, Imran Khan and Zaheer Abbas are Pakistans best ever players. I think that Inzamam is a player that's supreme amount of talent has often been overlooked for the less pleasing characteristics of his game, as in his running between the wickets and his handling of the Oval debacle. In the end it was a choice between Dravid and Inzamam, and the end factor was the way that Inzamam 1) Keeps a cool head in a dire situation better than Dravid, and pretty much any player at the moment, and 2) Because I believe (along with Imran Khan), that when he was in his prime (26 - 32 about), that he was IMO the best player of very quick bowler in the business. So that's why.
