What could be the present day perfect team? Salman butt/?, Mhd.yousuf/?, imran nazir, younis khan(c), shahid afridi(vc), k.akmal(wk)/?, a.razak, d.kaneria/?, s.akhtar/?, mhd.sami, umar gul. The bowling opened by umar gul and mhd.sami .
Note- the ? denotes if there might be a better player. Even if pakistan loses all the matches, but i think there should be a consistent team. Projecting performance...s.butt - 65, mhd. yousuf - 106, imran nazir - 78 with sixes, younis khan might stabilize innings - 60, s.afridi might be out for a duck but could score 80, k.akmal - 15, a. razak - 50 off 25... While in bowling, s.akhtar bowls speed only in zimbabwe pitches and in crucial matches doesn't take a single wicket. Perhaps pakistan needs variation in bowling. A LH offspinner, a RH medium pacer, a RH quick offspinner and a five wkt taking fast bowler. Also a new opening batsman and a captain. If i would get opportunity then i won't like to open the batting, as i am not able to spot the new ball swing. I would rather prefer no. 7 spot. And perhaps i could bowl as a medium fast 4th bowler. I would even like w.younis and a.javed to play atleast five tests against india. I would like to play tests against south africa and australia.
And perhaps a world cup for pakistan.
