Who has better Test pace bowling attack between India and Pakistan?

India possibly. They do get to bowl with more runs on the board, and have better spinners - so not that easy to compare.

Definitely still a long way to go and not right now. But give a few years, this Indian attack can potentially be compared to the Pak all time best attack of Akram, Younis, Akhtar and Saqlain too. If they continue like how they have done this year.

Current Pakistan bowling attack is like a start-up to the MNC of India's line-up.

Lol yeah, not too sure what a Bangladeshi is supposed to gain by bigging up Pakistan. Presumably he thought you're Pakistani.

Anyway, I'd say the answer is India pretty comfortably still. Good variety in their attack, a bit more discipline and nous thanks to greater experience and probably a bit more class overall.

Whatever it takes!!!
The potential of that Pak trio is just sky high though. I suppose the reserves are stronger for India but in terms of potential + variety, I dont think any attack can be as good as Pakistan's top 3 seamers.

Don't get fooled by our performance on that trickiest of pitches. We couldn't buy a wicket in Australia and struggled mightily in NZL. Sure they've got potential but on actual results I'd say we've got the 5th, maybe even the 6th best attack. In no certain order you've got:

- Roach/Holder/Seales
- Southee/Wagner/KJ/Boult
- Bumrah/Ishant/Shami/Siraj/Bhuvi/Thakur
- Cummins/Haze/Starc
- Nortje/Rabada/Ngidi
- Anderson/Robinson/Broad/Wood

Out of these attacks, I have a hard time saying I'd comfortably take Shaheen/Abbas/Hasan/Faheem over anyone except maybe England. This convo would be different if Abbas wasn't seemingly past it and if I didn't believe that Hasan's form is a mirage.

Would be extremely happy to be proven wrong.

Abbas was in supreme form in the county matches too. So, I don't think he is seemingly past it. Atleast, hoping so.

India far stronger at the moment, Pakistan might get better but they aren't even in the same league right now.
