** Sorry guys i am new to this board so i dunno wheather this has been discussed before on this forum or not.My question to you is If I ask you to select your “DREAM” team from the present INDIA and PAKISTAN teams what would be its structure? (Pick 11 players only ,select your captain and wicketkeeper etc).Please comment or your choice (if possible) :
Here is my team :
Virendra Sehwag
Sachin Tendulkar
Inzimam ul Haq (Captain)
Rahul Dravid (Wicketkeeper) (VC)
Yousuf Youhana
Shahid Afridi
Yuvraj Singh
Shoaib Malik
Rana Naveed
Shoaib Akhtar
Harbhajan Singh
I have taken 4 genuine bowlers (bhajji,akhtar,rana,malik) Afridi,Sehwag,yuvraj &Sachin can bowl the rest 10 between them.
Hmm well with your selection of Sehwag I dont know why you would select Afridi too, I would rather have Kaif in, he can Bat and he Definitely can feild better. IMHO one explosive player is more, in fact way more than needed.
Rahi bowling ki baat the 4 plus Sehwag, Sachin and also like you said Yuvi, is more than enough even if the Captain needs bowlers to change bowling ends a number of times.
Otherwise in any match 4/0 will not ever be a surprise to me specially with Sehwag, Tendulkar, Inzi and Yoyo in the top order.
I choose Afridi Mate coz i think he is a wicket taking bowler,can come down the oder in late overs and can also open with shewag at the top and tendi can come 1 down. He is a great fielder and a great match winner. I will rate him greater then Kaif anyday.Kaif is better than afridi just in fielding.Otherwise i will choose Razzak not kaif if i had to drop afridi.
haha Kaif in an ODI team???
Not for Paksitan dude. He would better serve the team as a 12th man. We Pakistanis dont often tolerate players who refulerly make 40 ball 15’s LOL
