I reckon you'd have won easily enough in 1971/72. The following series would have been quite something though, once Tommo had emerged to partner Lillee.
Yeah thats a good call.
Greg Chappell would have been at his height as well and I think we would have had to make changes to our team.
71/72
Barlow, Richards, Bacher (c) , G. Pollock, Irvine, Rice, Lindsay (+), Procter, P.Pollock, Van der Bijl, Chevalier
The bowling: P.Pollock, Procter, Van der Bijl, Rice, Barlow, Chevalier (SLA)
75/76 (Probably 5 or so changes)
Richards, Jimmy Cook, Peter Kirsten, G. Pollock, Ken McEwan or Hylton Ackerman or even Lamb, Irvine (+), Rice (c), Procter, Alan Kourie, Garth Le Roux, Van der Bijl
The attack: Procter, Le Roux, Van der Bijl, Rice, Kourie (SLA)
