Strongest in neutral conditions? I'd still give the edge to Pakistan. Then India then SL.

Nah, the subforum isn't the problem, it's the account. This isn't a player comparison.

Pakistan, although I'd probably pick Mushtaq Mohammed instead of Shoaib and bat him at 6/7 with Imran at 8.

Pakistan, no contest. Bowling travels

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Pakistan definitely. Brilliant team, would be interesting to see if Babar would make the team in near future.

Pakistan's Second XI may be better than India or SL too.

What?

What?

Same reason, pacers. Asif, Fazal and Shaheen.

All worse than Kapil as a bowler.

Only if you account for longevity, by virtue of which Bumrah should be replaced by Srinath or Zaheer.

Asif and Shaheen may be a better new ball pair than Wasim and Waqar.

You're in for a shock here

@Xix2565

Pakistan has a 2nd XI? I thought they barely had a first apart from Imran.

 

[Xix2565]

To be serious here, is Rizwan really the best Test wk bat Pakistan's ever had?

I think he may well be the best, but for various reasons has not yet had the career to establish himself as the greatest.

 

[honestbharani]

Man, i remember the days when Pak had to pick between Latif and Moin and we had to choose between Nayan ****ing Mongia and Saba Karim.

Used to be so jealous of the 90s Pak team tbh. If they could have only avoided all the infighting.

Can you imagine Imran skillfully using Shoaib in short shock spells? What a nightmare.
