Intrestingly Shahid Afridi who couldnot make it to regular Pakistani side,made it to Indo-Pak team.
**
From cricket feast to fantasy**
India were outplayed by Australia in last month’s VB Series final, but how would a combined Pakistan-India team have fared against the World Cup holders?
After a run feast of the historic one-day series in Pakistan, BBC Sport picks its own dream team.
**
OPENERS: Sachin Tendulkar (Ind), Yasir Hameed (Pak) **
Tendulkar scored 66% of his runs in one innings, a brilliant 141 off 135 deliveries in a losing cause in Rawalpindi.
It was his 37th one-day century and with 13,134 runs behind him, he remains way ahead of his peers.
Hameed had three different opening partners during the series but enhanced his reputation with scores of 86 and 98.
His total of 238 runs was 74 more than India’s Virender Sehwag, who failed to maintain the form he showed in Karachi, where his brilliant 79 off 57 balls set the tone for the entire series.
**
MIDDLE ORDER: Inzamam-ul-Haq (Pak), Sourav Ganguly (Ind, capt), Rahul Dravid (Ind, wkt), Yuvraj Singh (Ind) **
Inzy led from the front with centuries in the second and fourth games, but despite winning the toss five times out of five, his side let the series slip from their grasp.
Ganguly had a relatively lean time with the bat, but proved the shrewder leader in the field, while Dravid, with 99 in Karachi and a crucial 76 not out, was a key figure in India’s success.
VVS Laxman misses out despite his 107 in the series decider, which was his only score of note. His fielding was undistinguished, in marked contrast to Yuvraj Singh, who owes his selection as much to that as to his 65 in Peshawar.

ALL-ROUNDERS Shahid Afridi (Pak), Abdul Razzaq (Pak)
**
Afridi again proved frustrating at the top of the Pakistan order - his sizzling 80 off 58 balls in Rawalpindi was followed by two failures and resulted in him being dropped for the decider.
But his leg-spin bowling was the equal of the off-spin of team-mate Shoaib Malik, whose four wickets cost 63 runs each, and he could provide a timely lift to the scoring rate in the closing over of an innings.
Razzaq’s 53 not out in Peshawar showed how dangerous he can be and he also achieved a series strike rate of 124.
Pakistan must be concerned, however, about his bowling. He looked inocuous on flat pitches with neither the zip nor the guile to trouble India’s batsmen.
**
SEAM BOWLERS: Irfan Pathan (Ind), Mohammad Sami (Pak), Shoaib Akhtar (Pak) **
For a 19-year-old, Pathan’s impressive maturity marked him down as a future star of world cricket.
He stepped into the breach when Ashish Nehra was forced out of the Indian side after suffering a hand injury, and his 3-32 in the series decider was a vital factor in their success.
Sami is another youngster with massive potential and finished as the leading wicket-taker on either side with 11 at an average of 27.
Shoaib carries a weight of expectation as the world’s fastest bowler and bowled some excellent spells, especially in his home town of Rawalpindi, where his 3-49 was a good effort in a total of 317.
