Pakistan All Time best XI, let's Poll it.
[UPDATED: Sorry guys last time I hit Published button while post was not complete, but it is now so enjoy.]
Cricinfo.com has started a series of Articles on same topic about Pakistan’s All Time best XI players/team and at the end they will announce the team. But why not use a Poll here and find out our own all time best XI. We can later compare it with Cricinfo’s page, it will be fun.
Here some differences between Cricinfo and our selection:
- We considered ODI too with Tests for Selection process.
- We provided you with a large set of options and we tried non of the important player miss out.
- Some player are so influential they are in more than one Category, so if they miss out selected in one they might be in other like Imran Khan if he misses out as Bowler he will surely be selected as All-Rounder I reckon.
- You have multiple choice option in all polls so you can vote for more than one player like you can vote for both of your favorite in same poll.
- You can also suggest me a name if I missed any in comments or use other option in Polls.
- This poll will remain active till 25th April. So keep voting.
For each important slot we will have a separate poll like here is a Poll for openers and top two of this Poll will get a place in team as openers. Please select you two openers.
Now select your best middle order combination, you can select 3 batsmen from the list.
Now its All-Rounders turn, who do you think is the best all-rounder Pakistan ever had. Select one.
Select a Best Wicket Keeper now, Select one.
Select best possible bowling attack Pakistan ever had, you can select 4 bowlers and all those not need to have played together just pick the best four out of them.
Now after completing this Poll on 25th April 2010 we will announce our own Pakistan’s All Time Best XI.
Moreover you can describe all your favorite players in comments, Isn’t it fun?

Welcome Boom Boom Fan. Ok let him prove his worth in this World T20.
Not bad bhai g
I think I know why you left Mr Qadir out after what his son did to you by pressing that x button against your name haha (jokes).
hahaha I know Qadir , Saqi and Mushi all are great spin bowlers but personally I like Saqi nothing else may be bcoz I am also off spinner (but damn i don’t knw a shit about doosra).
Well you can replace any of the above three spinners in that squad
I will contact Usman again later will try to knw wht happened hahaha.
I think your old angry looking profile picture scared him, thats why!!
hehehe which one? with Pakistan Flag?
Nice blog
.
so u got the surprise news by now but don’t jump yet there is still lot more to come
See u with another nice one
No Fazal Mahmood among the options??
My team
Hanif
Anwar
Miandad
Yousuf
Haq
Khan(c)
Bari
Akram
Qadir
Younis
Fazal
Nice effort greyblazer, can u explain a little bit about ur choices of Bari and Fazal ? Will help the readers for sure
Fazal Mahmood was said to like Sir Alec Bedser as he would give nothing away and was Pakistan’s first great quick bowler. You can say that he was a bit like modern day McGrath though perhaps pitched it up a little bit further than McGrath. If I have Younis, Akram and Khan in the attack I would like to have Fazal Mahmood as he was said to an epitome for consistency. I would have good variety in my attack.
Fazal Mahmood took 139 wickets at just 24.7 and perhaps should have at least been one of the options.
Bari is usually rated as Pakistan’s best keeper so I went for him. I think Salim Yousuf though may not be in the class of Moin or Bari yet perhaps deserves a mention among your options. Here is the link for Yousuf.

Sorry as I would like to remove Bari and have Moin as Bari’s batting average was too low!
Well I will go for Rashid Latif if you only look for wicketkeeping skills but yes Moin Khan has better batting average, even Kamran has good average but is poor behind the wickets.
Interesting, sorry for my ignorance I have heard a little bit about Fazal but I should have investigate bit more. There is already someone else not happy about not including Asif in the bowlers list and now its Fazal too
I knew that Bari had a low average but I never knew that he averaged only about 16 and that is really low!!! Asif can become a superb bowler but needs to stay away from controversies lol.
Fazal’s teammate Khan Mohammad was said to be good too though just not in the class of the ever consistent Fazal Mahmood.
I also took part in the poll last night. But you don’t really want to know my choices
Anyway wow that’s my first comment on your new website. I like how airy and spacious it looks now. Gonna be gud
And you have commentluv. So nice.
