freak alien,
i honestly don't know the answer. but someone who can inject a lot of energy, aggression and positive attitude in the team.

as much as the average, it's very imperative, especially in a one day, for a batsman to have a good healthy strike rate. if we look at the pakistani batting line-up, most of these top-order players with the likes of salman butt, younis khan, mohd. younus, malik or even mishba have their strike rates in the 70's which is no good by today's standards. on the contrary, most of the indians top-order batsmen have their strike rates in 80's and even 90's even after loads of games under their belts. like we saw in the last match, no one in the pakistani team was ready to take any chance and break the shackle against the tight indian bowling and that brought about the setback for them. some amount of  controlled aggression is always very necessary in players to win ODIs.

i would have nominated younis khan but he denied to take the responsibility as a captain for some reason. he would have been the best candidate. mohd. younus is another competitor but he's too religious to be an aggressive captain in the field. i still like him as a player though. so i don't know and that's why pakistan are struggling. perhaps some youngster with a cool head above his shoulder, who can mix his aggression with a thoughtful attitude would be a great find.
