Which team has the worst bowling attack in the top 8 teams in the world cup?
take the conditions in WI into consideration when deciding that.

I hope and expect so tooPakistan comfortably. And in most conditions too. I thoroughly expect to be embarrassed by this comment in a couple of weeks. Or even by Tuesday end.
No. No he hasn't. He was never a good bowler. If he plays New Zealand all the time he'd probably be alright though.IMO Pakistan have no potency any more. Of all the attacks in the world cup, theres is, on paper, the weakest. However, Sami has proved himself to be a good bowler in the past and could come good again.
Pakistan is out an Out the worst bowling side..though only from 5 votes...i wanna see a larger sample..before i start my argument about how underrated we are..and then ask why Pakistan is rated so lowIn what way? 4-1 have gone for the obvious choice.
well actually i was gonna thread about the most under rated bowling side in the world cup but for that i had to prove if pakistan is actually under rated, so far this poll has served my purpose but i will wait for it to become a decent sample before i answer your questionsDo you really need justification?
Ok. Pakistan has a poor bowling attack because, surprise surprise, it's comprised of poor bowlers. Iftikhar Anjum and Danish Kaneria are very poor ODI bowlers. Mohammad Sami and Azhar Mahmood are extremely mediocre ODI bowlers. Yasir Arafat has done nothing for Pakistan to suggest that he's any more worthwhile. Rana Naved is perhaps the most over-rated bowler in ODI cricket, and another mediocre bowler.
Umar Gul is an okay bowler. He and Shahid Afridi are the best bowlers in Pakistan attack at the moment.
Agree with bits of this. Iftikhar Anjum and Danish Kaneria are both definately not up to ODI standard. However, Sami tends to be very hit and miss which, although not a good thing, can give Pakistan a good attacking edge when he is on form. Rana Naveed, although over-rated, is still a decent bowler. Also agree that Afridi is a good bowler but I feel he is underated and is better than the part-timer which he is usually considered as.Do you really need justification?

25 wickets in his last 27 ODI matches.Sami tends to be very hit and miss which, although not a good thing, can give Pakistan a good attacking edge when he is on form.
Sami has a better Avg than front line bowlers like Collymore and Sreesanth...he never really got a consistent run lately because Asif and Akhtar kept keep coming in and out.25 wickets in his last 27 ODI matches.
An average of 45.32.
An economy rate of 5.16.
A S/R of 52.60.
Only one instance of more than 2 wickets in an innings.
How often has Mohammad Sami "hit" lately? All he seems to do is miss.
