Wishful thinking, I know, but if in the near future we have all our pacers (and medium pacers) fit and rearing, and could only select three each for the ODI and Test teams, who should we pick?

ODIs
I would go for Shoaib, Shabbir and Umar Gul in the ODIs... with Razzaq being the all-rounder who can bowl v.useful medium pace and swing. This would leave Naved-ul-Hasan and Umar Gul on the bench, with Azhar and Rao Iftikhar somewhere in the wilderness

Shabbir is in because he has the height, the bounce and the variety... Umar Gul because he is accurate and can do a mean out-swinger... Shoaib..well each team needs one free-loader! LOL.. I think Shoaib might just pip Sami, at least in the near future, but am happy for this to be shot down...

Prob. unfair on Naved to leave him out, but hey..can only play three!

Tests
This is trickier...but assuming we are playing both Kaneria and Malik as two wicket-taking spinners, I would go for Sami, Umar Gul and Shoaib.... would leave poor Shabbir out, but assuming that one day the sun will rise from the west (!) and Shoaib will start bowling late inswinging yorkers again, I have gone for shock pace over line & length...
