i would prefer taufeeq and farhat
both may look inconsistent but has very good technique against pace and spin(especially taufeeq)
butt seems to be very ineffective against away going and fast raisng deliveries and moreover he is nto the fast mover of the creas with less foot work
regarding hafeez,i have seen only few matches of him play so i can't compare with the other three

no offence intended to anyone but how come these guys simply cant realize that "but" and "butt" are pronounced almost the same, so why stick with "butt" and not "but" when it comes to the spelling of your last name and you are playing international cricket?

Anyway, I think its time for almost all pakistani openers to either go thru intensive training to resist the temptation of throwing their bats to out swingers or give a chance to new commers. Given the current four choice of openers, I will try Hafeez and Taufeeq who are less likely to pop it out to the slips.

I still like Butt very much. He is young and can still make those necessary changes to his game. But then again, so are all the others...

Taufeeq and Butt? I would like that left/right combination. But for now, I think give Hafeez and good go at the top. At least for this upcoming series against the Windies.
