Would this Pakistan World Cup cricket squad would've been if they had Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamir? Hafeez, Butt, Younus, Misbah, Akmal No. 1, Akmal No. 2, Afridi, Razzaq, Asif, Aamir, Gul/Akhtar against a genuine contender would've been fun to watch.
Speaking of genuine contenders, how about Afridi for highest wicket-taker at this World Cup? He's got nine in two matches, Canada, Zimbabwe, New Zealand and Australia to come in the group phases, none of those lineups will be terribly confident against him, he's going to play every game because he's captain, he's going to bowl ten overs every game, I have a suspicion he isn't yet bowling his best and surely, after today's result, a quarter final game at the very least beckons.
