Pak for me. The Imran-Wasim-Waqar trio would be too good for Eng imo.

I'd pick Mudassar Nazar instead of Azhar Ali as he'd give so many options. He is fine as a 4th seamer, so another bat (Moyo) or spinner (possibly Shahid Afridi for x-factor) could be picked instead of Shoaib.

Can't Afridi just be picked for Azhar and we still get to go with Moyo for Akhtar??

Looks about right. Rizwan could potentially end up better than Prior.

I'd have KP over Inzy.

Pakistan ahead on the whole though. For a one off Test/series I think John Snow would give England a point of difference and he has a good record against the better batting lineups of his era but it depends if selecting someone with 103 Test wickets in the 1970s is justifiable.

Akhtar wasn't better than Broad as an overall asset
