If you have to pick only one Asian team .

[hyounis786]

definately pakistan

pakistan r far better team at the moment, bowlers do the damage, and the batting is improving with gr8 talen like yasir hameed, imran farhat, taufeeq umar

pakistan all the way 4 me!!!

 

[Token]

I would still keep a few of Inzi, Youhana, Farhat, Taufeeq, A. Razzaq, an in form Younis Khan, Afridi even.. (thirty ****ing seven balls unbelievable):wow:

 

[Gaijin-san]

Bangladesh.

 

[Bananas]

Indian batsmen( all of em) + pkistani bowlers( shoaib, sami) +pakistani keeper( moin)+ srlankan spinner( murali) = asian team

Laxman
Inzamam
+Sangakkara
Vaas

Indian team is mileeeeeeeeeeesss ahead of both Pak and Lanka.

I wouldn't go overboard.

Even if Pak cricket selectors are giving the job to pick up eleven players from the whole subcontinent, they will end up picking Indian players

Umar
Jayasuriya
Dravid
Tendulkar
Inzamam
Laxman
Moin
AA
Akhtar
Vaas
Muralitharan

 

[marc71178]

M Waugh and S Warne are known fixers

No they are not.

 

[anzac]

So? they are just allegations.Allegations were also levelled on Aus cricketers. M Waugh and S Warne are known fixers, while charges were also levelled on someone like dean Jones!!

careful..............

so far as I know there have been no allegations of match fixing involving any Aussies - drugs, bets, weather forecasts etc yes - but not match fixing..........

so far as I'm aware Hansie has been the only non sub-continent player to have been involved in this & proven...........

 

[Jono]

I'll clone Murali and Sachin, and have them be my Asian team. Surely 6 Sachin's couldn't fail.

But seriously, right now I'd pick India with no bias. Pakistan are too inconsistent for my liking and I'd prefer to put my money on a team that is more consistent, sure India aren't the most consistent side in the world, but I'd back them over Pakistan most of the time, especially in ODI cricket. Interesting question though.

There were allegation of fixing on both M Waugh and Warne, ACB saved both of them with a stupid story of "weather forecast".Also the Indian bookie that was incontact with those two never showed up so the allegations were NOrt proven.

And Match fixing charges were levelled on D Jones

 

[Choora]

No they are not.

Yeah you are right, as it was proven. Frankly they got away just like Akram and others!

India is consistent in test matches?? 16 years and not a single overseas series win and you are saying that they are consistent.They are consistently poor, not consistently good.

ODI is a different ball game, but as far as test are concerned Indians have never been consistently good!

"Stupid story"?

It was what happened, but never let the truth spoil a good rumour!

 

[anzac]

And Match fixing charges were levelled on D Jones

so what's this then - guilty until proven innocent????????

IMO any monkey can make any allegation - the proof is in the subsequent investigation & findings...........

as I said as far as I am aware Hansie is the only non sub-continent player to be found out & subsequently admit involvement in match fixing...........

sub-continent players have been found out & subsequently banned, and in some instances team performances have drawn attention with several players under investigation & subsequent bans.........

 

[Choora]

so what's this then - guilty until proven innocent????????

That was my point, now try to explain this to ur countrymen (Mister Wright) who think accusations are enough to paint anyone guilty!
