Akram was man of the match in a final. Imran top scored in the final.
Imran in the 87 semi scored a 50 and took 3 wickets.

Abbas with 60 odd games can't be in the XI.

Abbas sample size is way too small for an ATG XI. Babar at the moment with nearly 100 games averaging 60 doesn't qualify yet.

I pointed that out earlier. Just saying Imran and Wasim also delivered in high stakes games.

Babar S/R is pretty meh compared to Abbas
Plus he never played an innings like this

Not comparing them, point is you need at least enough matches to have your success verified. Garner barely makes it at nearly 100 matches.
But 60 games is really too little to justify in an ATG XI. Maybe an Asian ATG XI ok, but you are comparing him to players who have hundreds of games under their belt. Abbas basically scored all the centuries in his career in a two year period.

they still aren’t a patch on the riveting content discussion that is a slippy comparison threadwhy does CW always soak 30 pages up when the topic of AT ODI XIs is raised. Thankfully it's the highest-quality discussion, always and forever.

I don't like the long tail, but I reckon a batting allrounder as fifth bowler would just get smashed at this theoretical higher level, and Flintoff was really unsuited to 7 to the point where I'd rather have Pollock there.
