[Harsh Thakor]

This is my list ranked in order of merit of pairs of Indian and Pakistani batsmen blended into one who when rolled together made the perfect batsmen.I have ignored statistics and considered the blending of different kinds of ability.Criteria was the mixing of technical correctness with creative genius ,artistry and power.Some were artists or wizards like Zaheer,Majid,Azhar ,Laxman and Vishy.Some were supreme technicians like Gavaskar and Hanif.Others were supreme craftsmen like Minadad and Younus Khan.Only Sachin had it all.Thus mainly combining defence with attacking agression.
