Pakistan ATG Team - Open Voting

[ankitj]

Wouldn't it be better to do number 6 last, once the make-up of the bowling attack is known?

Yeah, weird to choose #6 now IMO. We should pick the four bowlers, keeper and the openers first.. Imran will definitely get picked as one of the bowlers, then we can ask people to choose their 11th player - that could either be another bowler to send Imran up to 6 or another batsman to send him down to 7. That'd give better more control over what they were actually voting for IMO.

Anyway, Mushtaq Mohammed if we're going to do it like this.

That's why I proposed the format that I did, but the spoil sports ruined it.

I've changed my mind, Mushtaq Mohammed at 6

 

[smash84]

maybe we can have a change in format Watson. what say?

Let's pick number 6 after the bowlers?

 

[Teja.]

Here are the votes so far;

Mohammed Yousuf = 8
Mushtaq Mohammed = 7

I'll always take a viable 5th bowler if there's one available, so Mushtaq Mohammed at 6... bearing in mind that these sides will be playing the other ATG sides in theory, some of which have pretty good batting line-ups! I think if you have a Steve Waugh / Wally Hammond type in your top order then you can get away with selecting four out-and-out bowlers as these guys can bowl 10-12 overs a day to reduce the workload on the main bowlers. When the best bowler around among the batsmen is likely to be Javed or Younis Khan, then I think you'll get found out.

Imran not good enough to be a no.6 imo

I've changed my mind, Mushtaq Mohammed at 6

With Apo changing his mind, It's on 9-9 by my count.

 

[watson]

With Apo changing his mind, It's on 9-9 by my count.

Yes I agree, the tally gives 9 votes each to Mohammad Yousuf and Mushtaq Mohammad.

Since it will be difficult separating these two players it seems logical to move onto the bowlers and have a re-vote later for the No.6 spot. Otherwise we could be waiting another entire day for a conclusive result.

Therefore, having listened to what people are telling me;

Please select a TRIO of bowlers. That is, 2 opening bowlers and a first change bowler;

Imran Khan
Wasim Akram
Waqar Younis
Sarfraz Nawaz
Fazal Mahmood
Shoaib Akhtar
etc

 

[smash84]

Wasim and Imran to open

 

[morgieb]

Imran Khan
Wasim Akram
Waqar Younis

Pretty clear cut.

 

[watson]

I agree;

Imran Khan
Wasim Akram
Waqar Younis

 

[kyear2]

Imran and Waqar to open, Wasim first change.

 

[DriveClub]

Waqar as the first change bowler and to be used in short bursts as the one showed in this gif. I remember watching this live and boy what an inswinging yorker this was.

Imran-Wasim-Waqar

Arguably the best fast-bowling three-card-trick available to any country in this exercise, and the biggest single reason this Pakistani team will back itself to be competitive against anyone.

I know it hasn't been going for long, but I reckon we can call this.

yeah.....pretty much agree with this.

Those 3 at their peaks were just phenomenal. Could do anything with the ball. Arguably the most versatile trio of them all.

 

[fredfertang]

Waqar, Wasim and Fazal Mahmood

 

[Satyanash89]

No brainer this one

Imran
Wasim
Waqar

what a trio... one of the main reasons why i wish the partition had never happened... would have been some team
