Your current World XI bowling attack

I think Steyn can probably adapt to first change better, as he did it reasonably well against England, so that's probably how I would go. Also if you've got two left handed openers, which is reasonably common, then you'd probably prefer Philander and Anderson bowled with the ball at its newest.

I would also give Anderson and Philanderer the new ball since Steyn is so good with the old ball, plus he gets angry when the ball gets older and increases his speed. 
Angry Steyn is awsome to watch (but not when Pak is batting).

RP > AjmalI don't want to get into that pathetic piece of moderation either but this thread is the right place to say Ajmal > Swann because teams need to be selected.

I would say RSA's lineup is better than my ROW lineup despite having an average spinner.

ROW wins in my eyes. Better spinner, better fifth bowler, better third pacer.
Okay, so can anyone tell me who exactly are the first choice quicks in the Australian test team at the moment. The contenders seem to be:
Starc, Pattinson, Siddle, Bird, Johnson, Hilfenhaus, Ryan Harris and Cummins (is he around anymore?).
Bird had a fantastic debut. Johnson made a good comeback. Pattinson was their best bowler before injury. Starc looks very exciting. Siddle is a monster we all know. Hilf may have to give way. Harris was pretty great too as far as I can remember.
Tough one.

Batting wise of course

True indeed. Bird and Cummins are the least experienced. Hilf and Johnson most. Pattinson should be in when fit, in my opinion. That's the only lock I have.

Nah, I would disagree. Ajmal can make batsmen look like idiots.

Didn't we slam both those attacks on their own home turf? I remember 600/2 and going at 5 a over for 100 overs against Australia.
