What would your ATG Pakistan Test XI be?

I cant be bothered doing another poll series but I'm interested in opinions on this.

The batting seems straightforward enough with Anwar & Hanif Mohammad at the top, and I guess Miandad, Younus and either Abbas/Yousuf/Inzy/Mishbah to round out the top 5, or possibly 6.

Imran slots in here somewhere, but where? 6 or 8? Moin Khan to keep or does Sarfraz Ahmed get picked on potential?

Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed or Qadir to bowl spin? Or Boom Boom Afridi(test batting record pretty impressive IMO) And though Wasim and Waqar are shoe ins, who is the third(or fourth) pacemen? Imran but who else? Asif? Fazal? Shoaib?



Does Saleem Malik or Ijaz Ahmed warrant discussion?

post your teams lads!

Yeah I find it really hard to split them as well, but I think that if you're going to use Mushtaq Mohd as the fifth bowler, the fact that Saqlain is an offie is a useful tie-breaker.

I'd go with

Hanif
Anwar
Younis
Miandad
Inzy
MoYo/S.Malik
Latif/Bari/Moin
Imran
Wasim
Waqar
Saqlain

Having Salim Malik means a significantly better batsman (and match fixer :ph34r:) than Mushtaq and he could roll his arm over to give the other bowlers a bit of a rest. Latif and Moin are tenacious with the bat but Bari the better keeper (recently found out that Knott rated him the best keeper he saw). So a team that pretty much can bat uptill 9 and has a pretty potent new and old ball attack.

Maybe Asif Iqbal at 6 if it's not being played in the SC.

This is my exact team, with the sole exception that I can never seem to decide between Moin Khan, Rashid Latif or Wasim Bari for the 'keeper slot.

Sarfaraz needs to prove himself before he is considered for this side

Can people elaborate why they are choosing mushtaq Mohammad for their sides?
