Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?
- Thread starter a massive zebra
- Start date

Kapil with his bowling alone will make in to Pak 11 of alltime.

Is that you Kapil?

The fact that Kapil is India's frontline all time XI pacer is depressing enough and no way does he make it as one in a Pakistani all time XI. Pakistan actually have more than 1 pacer who's averaged below 30. Wasim, Waqar, and Fazal would all be far ahead even if you play Khan as the all rounder batting #6. If we step a level below those 4, I'd take Akhtar over Kapil too. I have a lot of respect for him as India's greatest pacer but.. nah.

In that case, he will be arguably best bowler of second 11.

Kapil would struggle to make Pakistan's 4th or 5th XI as a bowler

Because he is from India?

Very unlikely.

Second XI as all rounder most likely.
A combined Indo-Pak XI would look like this for me:
Gavaskar
Hanif
Dravid
Tendulkar
Hazare
Khan 3
Mankad 5
Kirimani +
Wasim 1
Gupte 4
Waqar 2
Maybe Khan is batting a bit high but that is made up for by Mankad-Kirimani-Wasim behind him.

Nah, he probably gets into the second XI and walks in the third.

Miandad, Younis, Yousuf, Inzi not on your radar?

Considered Yousuf and Inzi but picked Hazare over them. Younis was a dreadful oversight and he should slot in easily here. Hazare can be the fifth bowler.

As an allrounder, Kapil is a serious contender for alltime world 11.

Only 4 asian bowlers can be categorized as undoubtedly better than Kapil.
Wasim, Murali, Imran and Waqar. None of them will be there in 2nd Pak 11.

3 clearly better pacers
Wasim, Imran and Waqar
2 arguably
Fazal and Akthar
2 specialist spinners
One probable allrounder - Mankad
8 altogether.
Still 2 spots vaccant for pacers in 2nd 11.

Fazal and Ahktar are definitely superior, just saying. Yes he would easily make the 2nd XI imo.
