Tough call to leave out Mohammed Yousuf, but Zaheer Abbas was a very good one day player. Plus it's good to have five genuine bowlers in the team.

I couldn't leave one of Javed/MoYo out, and neither can open. Pakistan have always struggled with openers (exception of Anwar), and I didn't feel Sohail was a glowing candidate for an all-time XI. He averages 9 runs more per innings ("only" 32), but Afridi's SR is significantly better (65 compared to 108) and he's a handy bowler.

Perhaps I should have included Shoiab (an attack of Shoiab, Wasim, Waqar, Saqlain, Imran would be hard to beat), but the batting would then look weak IMO.

Sohail could also bowl some useful spin, plus the Anwar/Sohail opening combination was prob Pakistans best ever.

Hmm only 62 matches not enough for me to really prove a player, esp for an all time team i mean quite a few palyers have avd 50+ over 60 matches in certain parts of their careers.

Yes, but remember that in Zaheer's day 62 matches were quite a lot. Check how many years those matches were spread over.

The same argument applies to Chappell in Australia's ODI team.
