Deleted_User_1 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I think it was the team of mid to late 70s. This team was good both in tests and ODIs. Not world champs, but good. Much better than the Indian team of that time. Went to the WC semifinal is both 75 and 79. Had success in Aus in 1976-77. Murdered the Indian team that toured Pak in 78-79. No one got spared except the Little Master Sunny who had a great series (his form was at its peak in the late 70s). Majid Khan, Zaheer Abbas, Javed Miandad, Asif Iqbal, Mushtaq Mohammed, Wasim Bari Imran Khan, Sarfraz Nawaz. The difference from other eras is that they had a good balanced team with good batting.

Cricket_Guru Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 No body cares about Pak cricket??? :finger: i do! 80-90s was good, and 95-2005 was also a good time for pak cricket.
Shakthi Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 No body cares about Pak cricket??? :finger: Pakistan cricket provides most entertainment off cricket :two_thumbs_up:
Deleted_User_1 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 i do! 80-90s was good, and 95-2005 was also a good time for pak cricket. I still think the mid to late 70s team was overall better.......
ravishingravi Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I think in the 90s, they were the most talented team in the world by far. Just too many internal issues and hence never could become a realistic contender for top sides in the world. The tag of "unpredcitability" which they like being associated with has really pawned them since, they should have been expecting to win every series in the 90s considering the potential of that team. But it really didn't accomplish much other than the WC and two series win in Eng. Aamer Sohail/Mohd Wasim Saeed Anwar Ijaz Ahmed Inzamam Salim Malik Basit Ali/Yousuf Moin Khan/Rashid Latif Waqar Younis Wasim Akram Aquib Javed/Shoiab Akhtar Mushtaq Ahmed/ Saqlain Mushtaq This was their golden generation and they didn't make much of it.

The late 70s team achieved, IMHO.
