Pakistan XI vs Lahore Badshahs

[Beleg]

who'd win?

 

[andruid]

Pakistan on account of their stronger bowling. Somebody sim it just for fun.

 

[Fusion]

Discussed this a little here. I'd say Pakistan would easily win based on a lot stronger bowling lineup and the age factor going against the Badshah's.

 

[Athlai]

Could someone throw up the lineups?

 

[cricman]

In a FC Match, I'd think Lahore might Smash into Oblivon or Just inzy and Moyo (Which would be more than Sufficent)

Pakistani's Test team is anyone's guess as they haven't played one in a while, but judging by their last Test squad and what they've picked for ODIs since..

Pakistan:		Test Runs	FC Runs		Test Wkts	FC Wkts

1. Salman Butt		1047 @ 29.08	4724 @ 42.55	1 @ 95.00	11 @ 57.72

11. Danish Kaneria	260 @ 6.84	1090 @ 10.18	220 @ 33.80	681 @ 26.64

12. Abdur Rehman	34 @ 17.00	1614 @ 17.73	11 @ 32.00	248 @ 27.73

Would go with Pakistan pretty comfortably assuming it was a 4/5 day game.

 

[haroon510]

weakest link from both teams

badasha
sami, navid, shahid nazir

pakistan
kanaria, Faisal iqbal, Kamran Akmal

i would go would Badashah's simply cuz of yousuf and inzi.. unfortunatly none of pakistan's batsman are in the same leaguge as any of these two players. if Inzi and yousuf play to thier full potential they could simply clean sweep 5 matches series to 5-0

So Inzi and Yousuf and going to take twenty wickets between them every game?

You definitely need your bowling to fire if want to win a series 5-0. You can win it to nil without your bowlers really hitting their straps with a couple of draws in there, but you aren't going to win every match just based on two good batsmen.

i didn't mean that. but what i meant was that they could make enough runs that Badshahs could defind it Despite having sami and rana there.. saqalin and Mahmood are decent bowlers.. i would pick them over Kanaria and Yasir Arafat any day..

 

[IndGunner]

Depend on the match type really.. I would expect Badshahs to win 20/20 and probably ODI and i dunno bout the 4-5 day match tbh i cant separate them. batting weakness for pakistan and bowling weakness for Badshahs.

 

[Goughy]

For all the supposed bowling weaknesses of the Badshahs, they have pretty capable FC cricketers that have performed all over the world.

They may have struggled to be dominant at the highest level, but with Pakistans best players diluted over 2 teams this may not be the highest level.

I dont mind the Badshahs bowling attack for something that is essentially a notch below Test cricket.

 

[Beleg]

Badshahs batting is a notch above Pakistan. Yousuf is still in the prime of his life and even if Inzi might be a bit past it he's still an extremely potent force.

Badshah's bowling is highly dependent on the conditions - they'd struggle to get Pakistan out on a flat surface but if the track had something in it then I can see them troubling the likes of Manzoor, Malik etc no end.

My combined line-up would be,

Imran Farhat
Imran Nazir
Younis
Inzamam
Yousuf
Misbah
Akmal
Naveed
Saqlain
Shoaib
Gul

I really think that Malik, Misbah and Younis not to amntion Salman Butt would dominate the Badshahs's bowling enough to negate any damage Inzi and Youssuf could do. never mind that Pakistan still have a stronger lineup.

 

[SJS]

who'd win?

Pakistan
- ALWAYS in Tests
- Almost Always in ODI's
- Most of the times in T20.

The chances of the lesser teams winning increases as the game becomes shorter.

India offer a good example of this

I need to put that in my sig. I can't believe no one in the audience (the five people that were there) carried signs with that quote during the Indian Tests and after the CB series.

RE - topic, Pakistan all the way. Lahore Badshahs are basically a (out of shape) dad's army.
