Imran Khan Not many in history could genuinely bat in middle order and also lead a pace attack at their prime. One of the greatest all-rounders in history; never bowled a no-ball in Tests. 2. Wasim Akram Greatest in skills with the ball. Got batsmen out methodically. Played at top level for around 20 years which is exceptionally long for a pacer. 3. Waqar Younis Had more raw power and was aesthetically and arguably for a period better than Wasim. 4. Javed Miandad Greatest overall batter and an influential, tough, gritty character on and off the field. 5. Zaheer Abbas Greatest ODIs batter unless Babar wins us a trophy. 6. Younis Khan Greatest Test batter but an average ODIs career is a gap in the CV. 7. Inzimam-ul Haq A great match winner. His 50s & 80s won us more matches than some other players' useless centuries. 8. Saqlain Mushtaq Revolutionized not only off-spin but the sport at large with his doosra. No one knew how to play him for a good amount of time. Murlidharan said in a podcast he asked him to teach doosra and it took him three years to learn. Sadly retired early due to injuries, would've been in top 5 otherwise 9. Abdul Qadir Revived leg-spin after it was considered an obsolete art. Warne had tapes of him and came to meet him during tour. He told Warne a good googly is when your hand muscles start hurting and keep shadow practicing even with an apple. 10. Hanif Muhammad Put Pakistan on the map. 337 away to West Indies in 50s against that Windies attack, still the highest away runs in history. Misbah-Ul-Haq did not average like 60 as captain and lead Pakistan to test number 1 ranking following the spot betting scandal to not be on this list you POS. Quote

A contemporary great but not an all-time top 10. He became permanent in the team in his 30s and was in and out of the team before his peak. The spot fixing scandal was actually his breakthrough. He told in the WC show that after he was dropped from that infamous 2010 England tour his mom asked him what are you planning to do now ? he was 36 and getting dropped at this stage of career means it's over. But the scandal happened and he got a phone call from the Chairman to get back into the squad and become captain. 1 Quote
Azeem Posted February 18 Posted February 18 lol Shoaib Akhtar and Sehwag give me funny and sad vibes. Both talented players with bling in their prime but after retirement they have become trolls who don't really have any proper job, doing anything to make money. It's kinda sad like seeing someone from highschool who was really popular but isn't doing great in life now. Quote

Elyse Perry played for the women’s australia football team as well. She was a sport prodigy 1 Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 6 Administrator Posted June 6 USA have done superbly there. Pakistan bottled it. Quote
Azeem Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Pakistan has a habit of giving breakthroughs to smaller teams by losing to them in tournaments. Lost to Bangladesh in 99 in their first WC, lost to Ireland in 2007 giving their first big moment, lost to Zimbabwe last T20 when their cricket was going through an existential crisis and now giving a boost to cricket in US. But on a more serious note Pakistan is opposite of a team whose sum is greater than its parts. Relies on individual brilliance (which they have fair bit) but it only comes far and few. Quote

Don't know if its me but the last 2 formats of WC's. Our batters just don't seem to make enough runs. As for that Kusra in the 20th over. 3 needed from 12 and the harami bowls a full toss. Quote
