3 fast bowlers is enough, with support from afridi, razzaq and malik(inshallah when cleared) , this a balanced attack.

3 + Danish + Razzaq is as good an attack as any.

3 bowlers plus Afridi, Razzaq, and Malik is a very good attack.

taufiq, salman, younis, inzi, youhana, razzaq, akmal is a good top7!
Malik even if he can bowl should work on his batting, I felt sorry for him today as he was batting 6, his chance to be the finisher.

is this a test team or a ODI team?

A test team needs to have specialists and one all rounder.

A ODI team doesn't have to have as many specialists

I think if you have one genuine all rounder he is better than packing the team with "all rounders". You can say oh if the top5 fail, if the bowlers fail, u cant go into a game saying he is in cos i think we will fail! You have to show faith, believe in ur players! And think in a POSITIVE manner.

Amit although you have a valid point but these so called bits and pieces players have a set role and they are doing a fine job at the moment.

I think that every player has to have a role in the team. Before the bits and pieces were nothing cricketers, couldnt do anything well and didnt know why they were there. Credit must go to Bob for this. That said, I would still prefer Danish because that extra bowling prowess is so vital. Teams find it hard to score big against an attack comprising 4 world class bowlers.

I think 3 main strike bowlers supported with Afridi, Razzaq and maybe even Malik is what we should go with.

I like to play a frontline spinner, I am alone in this. Otherwise we agree.

you drop razzak

i wouldnt as he is the genuine all rounder if he plays well. If he goes back to the old Razzler I would just play Kamal.
