Comment On Cricinfo! I agree with Ajmal, while right from the start Imran Khan had a big talent pool, Misbah always had the headache of choosing the right guys. Openers: - Imran Khan had the luxury of choosing from class acts like Mudasar Nazar, Mohsin Khan, Ramiz Raja, Shoaib Mohammad, Saeed Anwar and Amir Sohail. - Misbah had Imran Farhat, Taufeeq Umar, Khalid Latif, Nasir Jamshed, M Hafeez, Khurram Manzoor and Ahmed Shehzad. Batsmen [3, 4 & 5]: - Imran Khan had Zaheer Abbas, Javed Miandad, Wasim Raja, Qasim Omar, Saleem Malik, Ijaz Ahmed, Asif Mujtaba & Inzimam ul Haq - Barring Younis Khan & Misbah Pakistan has no world class top order batsmen in this era. Shoaib Malik, Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal, Fawad Alam, Azhar Ali and Umar Amin have been the choices. All of these batsmen trying to cement their place in the team.

All Rounder at 6: - Imran Khan was the worlds top all rounder though we had Manzoor Elahi, Tahir Naqash too. - Misbah have no genuine all rounder though A Razzaq is one but his match fitness is a big issue. Afridi remains a bowling all rounder and doesnt play in tests. Wicket Keeper: - Imran Khan played Wasim Bari, Saleem Yousaf and Moin Khan. - Misbah has Kamran Akmal. Fast Bowlers: - Imran Khan had Sarfraz Nawaz, The Wasim Akram, The Waqar Younis, Saleem Jafar and Aqib Javed. - Misbah had an unfit brigade. The most promising M Irfan has hardly played any cricket because of his injuries. Gul is average. Junaid Khan, Sohail Tanveer, Aizaz Cheema and M Sami are what Misbah has. Spinners: - Imran Khan had Abdul Qadir, Iqbal Qasim, Tauseef Ahmed and Mushtaq Ahmed. - Misbah has good spin resources too. Ajmal is a class act. A Rehman and Z Babar are pretty good support. Imran Khan called shots himself while Misbah is given the team and he has to manage.
