Ayush94 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I was just thinking about this today, what if the current Pakistan team also had Amir and Asif along with the best spin attack in the world of Ajmal, Afridi, Rehman and Hafeez. Quite a scary though. Could Pakistan have been the best team in the world now??? If not they would surely be serious contenders imo. What dyou guys think?

What dyou guys think? why do u think they were so inconsistent before?
Ayush94 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 why do u think they were so inconsistent before? The spinners seemed to have raised their game to another level imo, and also their batting seems quite alright atm with youngsters like Shafiq and Azhar Ali also coming good along with Younis Khan. Plus, Kamran Dropmal isn't there now to feck it up for Pak :winky:
saneindian Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 They would still be the number 6-7 team in the world. The primary reason being Salman Butt would still have been your test captain, Younis and Misbah would have retired and that buffoon Ijaz Butt would still be your board chariman.
Needforspeed Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 If they had Amir and Asif, we could have seen a lot of no-balls in the recent series. :winky:

vvvslaxman Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Their records improved only after their exit lol
Ayush94 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 IF we leave aside the fact of the no-balls, cuz other than the no-balls they were still winning Pak some matches. And on a purely talent and skill thing, hypothetically, if they weren't cheaters?

And on a purely talent and skill thing, hypothetically, if they weren't cheaters?[/quote'] hypothetically .. they werent good bowlers.. hypothetically chawla was warne, and munaf was malcom marshall wht o u think india's position would be ?
Ayush94 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 Leaving aside the OTT Indian hype to chawla and patel bhai, we all know just how good Amir and Asif were. If you still have doubts, their short record speaks for itself in comparison to Munaf and Chawla.

rkt.india Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Then they would have been fixing every match in association with Salman Butt.

Old guy Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 btw mate im not a paki:giggle: SA have **** all in spinners, what about in the subcontinent tahir imo is good enough.. botha is underrated and in sub continent steyn always gets wickets cos of reverse swing sub continent isnt really so bad for quicker bowlers..if u have the skills.. morkel, steyn definately can bowl well even here they are the only team who troubled india in india won in england won in australia drew with us...also i dont care if ur paki or not..some pakistani guys i know here would agree with what i said.. i really support pakistan where they deserve.. this is not one of them :P im not gonna reply again this is stupid thread lol
Number Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 If India still had Kapil Dev and Sunny Gavaskar.
Ayush94 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 and btw hafeez and rehman only started good after the exit of Amir and Asif. Think if we replaced Cheema and Gul with Asif and Amir, how good will their bowling've been? Constant threat
bajrang Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 amir was still new. asif was crap in ODI, Pakistani version of praveen . who knows what would have happened.
