All time Pakistan test XI

[Gonzo]

Let's play the selector. If you could choose one all-time Pakistan test XI, what would it be? Here's mine:

Hanif Mohammad
Saeed Anwar
Javed Miandad
Inzamam ul-Haq
Zaheer Abbas
Mohammad Yousuf
Imran Khan (c)
Wasim Bari (wk)
Wasim Akram
Saqlain Mushtaq
Fazal Mahmood

12th man: Waqar Younis

I've made a couple of bold decisions that I think I can justify, Mushtaq instead of Qadir, a 4 man bowling attack, Fazal instead of Waqar, and Yousuf in at 6. Overall it looks a very good side. Thoughts?

[salman24]

Fazal mmahmood instead of Waqar is the only one that worries me
I'd have qadir or fazal mahmood as 12th man
I'd also like to add shoaib akhtar there but i don't know where

[UP]

Hanif Mohammad
Majid Khan
Javed Miandad
Zaheer Abbas
Inzi
Yousaf
Imran (c)
Rashid (wk)
Wasim
Waqar
Abdul Qadir

12th man: Shoaib Akhtar

I would argue that in test cricket bowlers are more important than batsmen, so I would choose five bowlers, including Waqar. Nice four-prong pace bowling lineup. I can see Asif taking Fazal's place in a few years.
I would give Yousuf the slight edge over Zaheer, very similar batsmen but Yousuf's recent streak and better stats make me favor him. For those who think the batting is weak, remember Imran averaged over 60 at position 6.
Qadir should go ahead of Saqlain, he achieved as much or more in an age where spin bowlers were marginalized. And lastly, I would put Rashid ahead of Bari, which might seem like herecy, but while Bari was a safe keeper, Rashid was superlative with the gloves and much more useful with the bat.

My side:
Hanif
Anwar
Miandad
Inzi
Yousuf
Imran
Rashid
Wasim
Qadir
Waqar
Fazal

[12thMan]

what is a 12th man? he is only for bringing drinks and substituting for fielding. so get the better drink carrier and good fielder.
