Pakistan ATG Team - Open Voting

[watson]

I make it so far;

Bowler
Fazal Mahmood = 5
Abdul Qadir = 3
Saqlain Mushtaq = 3

Wicket-Keeper
Rashid Latif = 8
Wasim Bari = 3

More people have voted for a spinner thus far, but because the vote is split the swing bowler Fazal Mahmood leads.

 

[smash84]

I'd say let's go for Fazal

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Fazal Mahmood was mighty successful in sub continent, in fact he was so successful that his average was around 20 with 10 five-for and economy under 2! I'm guessing if Fazal gets selected, then Mushtaq Mohammad must be locked in the team?

 

[fredfertang]

For me Waqar and Fazal are te best two Pakistani pacers, with asim and Imran a definite step behind, so as Fazal didn't get in previously they'll have to play without spinner so Fazal here

Wasim Bari was a superb 'keeper, and not the worst bat in the world, and he Waqar and Fazal as 9, 10 and 11 are hardly pushovers

 

[smash84]

Fred please Waqar, Bari, and Fazal at 9, 10, and 11 are definitely pushovers

And that's a big call that you rate Waqar and Fazal a step ahead of Wasim and Imran

 

[kingkallis]

Wasim Bari and Saqlain Mushtaq

Nah I don't think they were that bad at all - granted if the eight down were numbers 1-8 you wouldn't expect too much but they were all, Wasim particularly, capable of hanging around - its not as if they were the equivalent of Bedi, Prasanna and Chandra

 

[Xuhaib]

Fazal and Latif.

 

[watson]

I'll call it soon - looks like a potent 4 man pace attack with Fazal Mahmood in the thick of it, and Latif behind the stumps.

 

[watson]

As it stands;

Bowler
Fazal Mahmood = 8
Abdul Qadir = 3
Saqlain Mushtaq = 5

Wicket-Keeper
Rashid Latif = 9
Wasim Bari = 5
Imtiaz Ahmed = 1 (thanks 8ankitj)

 

[ankitj]

Saqlain Mushtaq
Imtiaz Ahmed

 

[watson]

And so we have one of the greatest pace attacks ever assembled in a pretty good side thus far;

01.
02.
03. Younis Khan
04. Javed Miandad
05. Inzamam-ul-Haq
06. Imran Khan ?
07. Imran Khan ?
08. Rashid Latif
09. Wasim Akram
10. Fazal Mahmood
11. Waqar Younis

However, we still haven't resolved our No.6 problem which was a two-way tie the previous round of voting. So please select a No.6 batsman, or another bowler if you want Imran to move up the order, or have a wild plan that I haven’t thought of;

Some choices are;

Mohammad Yousuf
Mushtaq Mohammad
Zaheer Abbas
Saleem Malik
Abdul Qadir
Saqlain Mushtaq

(Note: If you think that we should allow bit more time to select a 4th bowler/wicket-keeper then please say so and I'll delete this post. But I think that the verdicts are pretty clear.)

 

[Prince EWS]

Mushtaq Mohammad

 

[Satyanash89]

Fazal's inclusion neans theres really only one choice:
Mushtaq Mohammad

If it was upto me i'd have had Saqlain/Qadir instead of Fazal

 

[Xuhaib]

yeah Mushtaq since you need atleast one spinner.

btw I think Mushtaq developed his bowling pretty late since he hardly bowled in his first fourteen matches.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah mushtaq for me too

 

[kyear2]

Mushtaq Mohammad

 

[Teja.]

Mushtaq Mohammad

 

[smash84]

incidentally anybody have an idea how good a batsman mushtaq really was?

To put it into some context, I'd probably pick him a Pakistan All Time Second XI even if he couldn't bowl. He was a very fine batsman.
