Junaid.
Junaid Khan that is.
Being asked to lead the attack with Mohammad Irfan, the 23-year old will be asked to put a lot on his shoulders. Having never played an ODI in England, it will be crucial for Pakistan's chances in the tournament that Junaid be able to take wickets with the new ball and provide break-throughs in a partnership when his captain throws him the ball.
Who is the best ever medium pacer. If you keep the cutoff speed of <85mph than the following bowlers would be considered in the category:

Who, in your opinion, was a better bowler?
Jeff Thomson
Avg in Tests - 28 , Away - 33.49. Home - 24.98 in 51 matches
Avg in ODI's - 35.30
Shoaib Akhtar
Avg in Tests - 25.69, Away - 27.32. Home - 26.48. Neutral - 16.85 in 46 matches
Avg in ODI's - 24.97
Both were express pace bowlers.
I havn't seen Thomson bowl apart from a few videos on YT, but based purely on stats Akhtar seems like a better bowler.
Maybe someone who has seen both can give us a better comparison?
Very good well balanced attack,
Economical spinner, 1 Economical Fast Bowler who can pick up wickets and 2 Strike bowlers.
I'd rate this Test Attack better than the Pakistan,Srilankan,Indian and Australian attacks, mainly because all the above attacks aren't very balanced.
Pakistan lack a quality 2nd and 3rd Seamer.
Australia lack an economical Spinner and their 3rd Seamer is usually very expensive.
Srilanka lack a quality 1st,2nd and 3rd Seamer.
India lack a quality 2nd and 3rd Seamer.
Probably the 3rd Best attack in the world behind RSA and England.
Also would have done much better in RSA a few months ago if the current team was playing as Southee would have been very handy in RSA.
But, maybe i am overrating them.
