ESPNcricinfo picks the best Test teams of all time

A batsman's nightmare

May 24, 2010 : With a bowling line-up in which Imran Khan is an afterthought, Pakistan's all-time team looks well-nigh invincible

Stodgers, flayers, stylists

April 12, 2010 : Opening has been one of Pakistan's most thorny problems - which is not to say that there haven't been fine, even great, openers in the team's history

Pakistan's strongest suit

April 19, 2010 : The country's greatest batsman, its gutsiest, a dashing rescuer, and others make up the middle-order shortlist

One from five

April 27, 2010 : Pakistan were never short of allrounders. Imran Khan would be the overwhelming choice but there are four others, all also captains, in this shortlist

Stumped for choice?

May 4, 2010 : A modern great, a complete package, a natural, and a fighter feature in our wicketkeeper shortlist for Pakistan

Strike fear with three

May 10, 2010 : Fast bowling has been Pakistan's trump card, their national obsession, and a resource they have never been short of. Which men make it to the final XI?

Three leggies, an offie, a leftie

May 17, 2010 : Though spin has mostly played second fiddle to Pakistan's pace attack, in the hands of these masters it took a starring role
