[jeeva_jeeva_pakistan]

:afridi
:akhtar
:razzaq
:gul
:ajmal
:yk
:wahab

[ballack13]

:amir till the day he took money sadly.

[*sallu*]

Younis Khan

[*sallu*]

Rao Iftikhar

[Sledger]

:akhtar :afridi :yk :ajmal are the standouts for me.

[saeed-sohail]

Shoaib malik and kamran akmal.

[jazba]

:sami:fawad:yk:rao:ajmal:hafeez

[Paradox]

Don't forget Umar Gul.

Afridi, YK, Umar Gul, Rao, Ajmal are the top five.

[Looney]

Most of them .

[Down2Earth]

:hafeez

[Khabri420]

Abdur Rehman :rehman
Azhar Ali :aali

[Decipher]

From the past, it has to be Javed Miandad.

Current lot ? I would prolly say Shahid Afridi and perhaps Umar Gul for his exceptional diving skills (by Pakistani standards) to stop a boundary.

[emclub]

Wahab Riaz

[kingusama92]

Hmm.

Afridi is up there. There is no doubting his effort - he gives it his all even if the batting lasts for a few moments.

Akhtar bowls with all he has, but doesn't give much of an effort in the field.

Ajmal is a fighter. He has serious heart. He gives it his all in everything he does.

Trying to hit sixes is not giving it his all

If he showed a bit more determination I'd agree with you

[Afridirocks]

if u think afridi doesnt try to give his 100 percent everytime eh comes out or whenever he represents his country then you are completely wrong and its utter nonsense simple as that

Shahid Afridi and Younus Khan are 2 Players that I have no doubts about

[1137moiz]

I think you're mixing sincerity and effort up with "wearing hearts on sleeves". Players like Mushtaq, Saqlain, Sohail, Waqar, Younus, Akhtar, Gul, Akram, Afridi and Ajmal play with their hearts on their sleeves. Others like Mohammad Yousuf, Mohammad Hafeez, Abdul Razzaq, Ijaz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik, Saeed Anwar and Inzamam are generally quite silent and emotionless when going abt their work

Shahid Afridi gives full effort on the field but if you call his batting "full effort" then its a shame he is still playing cricket.

Hitting sixes is not effort - slogging is the easy part of cricket.

I like to consider grinding it out when the going is tough and willing to curb your natural instincts for the betterment of the side as "full effort"

[1137moiz]

For the record I've always considered "hearts on sleeves" a tad overrated; I personally prefer strong silent types meself. Nothing wrong with passion of course :)

[insaaniyat]

Afridi is never there. Heart is somthing what Razzaq did . Match saving inning against India and then another match winning knock against SA. Playing according to the situation. Playing the same irresponsible way most of your career is called brain fart.

[GOAT]

Would MoYo count? He's as sensitive as a girl and complains the first opportunity he gets. Pretty emotional fellow imo.

Younis and Ajmal come to mind. Anyone got a pic of Ajmal after that over? Says it all.

[kingusama92]

Imran Farhat.

I win.

He has the heart to sue Mazhar. That's what I call a "champion player".

[*sallu*]

Moyo is definitely not one

[*sallu*]

I would rate Rao Iftikhar as number 1 from Pakistan.

True Patriot.

my point is overall as a cricketer he gives his 100 percent and hes right up there with younus khan

I think overall includes batting as well doesn't it?

[kingusama92]

Hands down.

They don't come better then that legend.

[ShehryarK]

LOL! :))

Ignorance is Bliss, as they say :)

[Wised up]

Can I know what you are smoking? Must be one helluva drug..

[wasim-fan]

It is truly amazing how fickle fans really are. Who would have thought that Razzaq's name would have been in that elite list 3 or so months back.

well said......They guy is mental. He wouldn't survive as all rounder in any other team for more than three matches. If this is what giving it all for team and playing with heart and soul is considered then afridi is the most avg Pakistani cricketer to have played that many matches for Pakistan.

[1137moiz]

Bas yaar. People get emotional and wonder why Abdul Razzaq doesn't bowl fast anymore or why he doesn't hit fifties like other allrounders (as if most people hit fifties or so when getting to face 20 balls). I will admit that Abdul Razzaq's bowling is wrongly utilized and on the decline (which is why either Tanveer or Arafat needs to also play), and he tends to play within himself, but in a tough situation there's few better players MashaAllah.

Anyway Gullay epitomizes the "heart on sleeve" cricketer. Workhorse who, when properly motivated and in form, can be really lethal

[Prince_Pathan]

younus khan
shahid afridi
umar gul
rao ifthikar
saaed ajmal
shoaib akhtar
mohammad hafeez
fawad alam
mohammad sami : may go for runs but is very sincere and a team player..does his best but yeah...head goes too quickly after being hit for a boundary

[Afridi_Fan]

So let me get this right. Afridi doesn't give his 100% in the field.

Good info to have. :inti

Only player to give his 100% is we know who.

:))) :))) :))) :)))

[Lara400]

Afridi giving it his all!!!!! Not a chance!!!!!

He throws the towel in the second the going gets tough. Some bizzare posts on the definition of giving it their all!

[stallion]

:ajmal

This is the worst list ever.

congrats

[1137moiz]

This is the worst list ever.

congrats
Not really, all of them (except Malik) are emotional sorts ie "heart on sleeve"

[1137moiz]

I don't think OP realizes what "heart on sleeve" means. it means emotional, sort of dashing etc. I don't doubt their sincerity but Younus, Abdul Razzaq, Yousuf and Iftikhar don't fit into this category. They're more the quiet workhorse types

[stallion]

This is the worst list ever.

congrats

How can u say that explain

[WNC]

That's where your thinking is a bit off the mark. There's no doubting his devotion to the team, but he doesn't give his all, if he did, he'd apply himself better.

By my reckoning, I'd say Ajmal and YK are up there, along with Afridi and the new youngsters Asad and Azhar. Fawad is up there and Sami gives it his all, sadly it's bad but he gets marks for effort. And ofcourse, Akhtar :akhtar

[umar_headingly]

yh i agree completely

[Shaddy]

The Million dollar question should be.. Who plays with their brain?

Hardly anyone in the recent Pak XI

good point:) Our captain tops the list in the bold category:)

[MalikMohsin]

Only a few cricketers who give everything and aren't controversial.

Younus Khan, Ajmal, Misbah, Gul, and they are only players i trust the most. Hopefully, the youngsters follow their examples, and that's good enough to lead the team to the right direction.

Afridi ko kahin kay naahin choda. :))

Azhar Ali, Younis Khan in the current XI and...wait let me think...still thinking...hmm that's it.

Agree with you. It's much easier to to give your 100% when you get out one ball duck. Or quit in the middle of a test series.

[spoiled]

Shoaib malik and kamran akmal.

just to cause a debate..aha

[Atif]

Kamran Akmal
Shoaib Malik
Salman Butt

[chui_kadoo]

Shoaib Akhter has to be up there at the top. He gives it is all when he comes in roaring in even at 35.

[Afridi_Fan]

Agree with you. It's much easier to to give your 100% when you get out one ball duck. Or quit in the middle of a test series.

:yawn:

[Pak_Pace]

:afridi :rana :fawad :ajmal :rao :gul :yk

[Saqlain_doosra]

Shoaib Akthar playing for team? since start of this year maybe. At his peak Shoiab played for Shoaib and no one else, specially once Wasim and Waqar retired. I was big of his earlier in his career but then realised he is selfish and annoying prat.

Back to topic and my list is:

:hafeez
:razzaq
:hammad
:aali
:fawad
:ajmal
:gul
:afridi
:yk
:moyo
misbah

[Theo_14]

Umar Gul and Razzaq for me - and I'm pretty sure these 2 quality players have avoided controversies in their career.

[RehanG]

one and only Shoaib Akhtar

[Pakprideuk]

if you're talking about players who really give their own then there's only 4 imo:

Azhar
Afridi
Akhtar
Ajmal

Idk how most of you include Younis Khan who didn't bother turning up and went fishing lol. Also he seems a pertty careless character on the field and when batting.

WHAT?! Please can you explain in what way Younish Khan is careless in the field and when batting. He has always been a very reliable slip and bats very sensibley in regard to the match situiation.

[zulfi00]

Most players in first year of their career. In long term:
in past: Javed Miandad
Current: Younis Khan, Azhar ali (again first year) rest not sure.

[adarsh_bang]

.umar gul , younis , fawad ,shoib, ajmal . .lately abdur rahman and akmal junior??? .not necessarily in that order . .from the previous gen its got to be saqlain
