Saeed Anwar
Hanif Mohammad
Zaheer Abbas
Javed Miandad
Inzamam-Ul-Haq
Imran Khan *
Wasim Akram
Rashid Latif +
Abdul Qadir
Waqar Younis
Fazal Mahmood

I can see Younis overtaking Zaheer by the end of his career though.
Good to see someone pick Fazal, I have a bio of him on my shelf and must find time to read it:)

Seema one batsman short. More importantly, I would not put Mushtaq in the side once another leg spinner is there in Qadir.

You can look at another spinner in Saqlain, Qasim, Naseem-ul-Ghani or, better still, an all rounder like Asif Iqbal maybe
Or, an all-rounder like Mushtaq Mohammad maybe?

Though my team changes from month to month, I'd have to say this one looks about right. :)

I wouldn't mind having Imran at no.6, he averaged over 60 in that position. It also allows for five bowlers, and I would prefer the extra bowler given that bowlers win you matches.

Fazal is really underrated, and as a seamer, he is the perfect ballast to the other pace bowlers, in the way Asif might have been had he not ruined his career.

Don't really see why Majid Khan gets named, he was elegant to watch but it's embarrassing to have someone who didn't even average 40 in your all-time XI.

It's a toss up between Zaheer and Moyo, very similar batsmen. I would like to think that Younis Khan will trump both of them by the end of his career.

Would have Fazal as the fourth seamer in my team, if I was to have 4. If I already have Imran, Wasim and Waqar though, I'd rather have a spinner.

Magnificent team.

Not sure about Moin (I'm in no position to judge who is the best Pakistani keeper) and there's something to be said for Shoaib Akhtar to replace Mushy. What a pace attack that would be - Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib. Monstrous.

Wasim Bari for Moin Khan and Fazal for one of the spinners for me - bit of a tail but with that bowling they'd seldom need more than 150

Such a balanced and courteous view. Worthy of YouTube.
Haha..was a bit over the top I guess but ITBT I don't think Zaheer was anything special all he did was bash medium pace and aging spinners on flat decks, I don't consider his 100 FC hundreds a criteria for selection in all time Pakistani team.

If we give so much importance to FC records then Fawad Alam should make the team as he has the highest FC average for any Pakistani batsman whose scored over 3000 FC runs.

imran khan (c)
wasim akram
abdul qadir
wasim bari (wk)
waqar younis

i think this 3+1 bowling attack in form is too good for most oppositions. and since bari is a good gloveman who derves to be in the team but a lousy bat, the 6 top order batsmen + imran (and a bit of akram) would be able to compensate for him.
