Prehaps Eng v Pak since 1970 would be closer
What does a Pakistan top 6 since 1970 look like?

Looks very good but Miandad has to be there IMO

Miandad instead of Yousuf pretty easily.

Should Miandad come in for Yousuf or could Younis be asked to open so both Miandad and Yousuf can play?

Don't know mate. He never opened in his life.
Maybe play with one pacer less so that everybody could shift in. Guess Akhtar could go.

I like having Akhtar in the side but I am biased to him

PAK vs ENG is close. PAK wins easily on the pace attack, while saqlain vs Swann is a close call where I edge it to Swann. The opening pair is better for ENG while the middle order is better for Pak but I have Prior over Rizwan for now. Would go Pak overall mainly due to their pace bowling. A combined Xi perhaps looking sth like this:
Gooch
Cook
Younis
Root
Miandad
Prior
Imran
Botham
Swann
Wasim
Waqar

Yea no doubt England was great back in like the 1930s but they’ve been very underwhelming in the modern era when the standard of the sport is higher

I think Pakistan vs India is much closer. For the English comparison, the Pakistani bowling attack is a few too many levels ahead and I would even give them the batting, though marginally. For Ind vs Pak, It's basically India AT XI vs Pakistan AT XI without the Mohammad brothers.

Sehwag over Cook is the only one for me

that's for me too lol.
tho in English conditions both Gavaskar and Sehwag would be pretty vulnerable.

Hopefully Jaiswal replaces Sehwag in a decade

I’d have Hammond in there instead of Barrington/Stokes/Root
