So, I don't think we will be playing any more T20 games, so what would you conclude is our/Pakistans best T20 team. I think the bowlers that played today are our best option, however i'm still not convinced by Mo Sami and feel Abdul Razzaq would give us a better option as he can bowl and bat, or even Azhar Mahmood. Furthermore, I feel it is essential that we bring back one of the slowies, Younis Khan/Misbah, so we can build our innings, and not collapse like today. It'll most likely be Younis, I can't see Misbah playing under a fellow captain.
I think this would be quiet good:
Hafeez
Ahmad Shehzad
Younis/Misbah/Malik
Malik/Misbah
Akmal
Afridi
Razzaq/Mahmood
Sarfraz Ahmed
Sohail Tanvir
Yasir Arafat
Saeed Ajmal
Malik should definately play. He knows how to play a 'T20' innings. He did it today, and against England. Sarfraz Ahmed should come in for Ansar also in my opinion, but why not play kamran akmal instead in T20 only, he is a devastating limited overs batsman and how many catches could he possibly drop in 20 overs lol?
We have six bowlers in my team: Tanvir, Arafat, Ajmal, Afridi, Hafeez, Razzaq/Mahmood, all able to bowl full four overs if needed, and malik also is a handy option.
What do you think?
Our ideal/best T20 team for the WC?

Fair point shanky, but I'd rather we got another spinner in or a "proper" batsman - thats paks really weak point.

Rehman hasnt done well in the shorter formats though. Afridi, Ajmal,Hafeez is surely enough? And then you have Malik who can bowl a few too. Surely dont need any more spinners?
I dont see any limited overs middle order batsmen in Pak. I rate Fawad Alam highly and would pick him for Tests and ODIs but not T20.

Razzaq at 7 would be ideal but doubt they will pick him.

In my team we have two seamers along with a quality 'part time' seamer in Razzaq. + 3 spinners.
