I literally forgot about Laker the first time around. Solid choice actually.

Why Laker over Murali?

Murali is a bigger threat than Warne in any other country except for Australia.

If you're playing against Australia there's a good chance the game would be in Australia . . .

Also Darryl Hair to umpire

I would think any offspinner will struggle if we are playing in 2000s Australian roads. I would opt for a leggie.

I had Laker in the first reply to this thread. ?

 

[honestbharani]

Khawaja/Simpson to open for Aus tbh

Watson/Katich obviously FTW

If you're going by history, Laker only really had issues in WI and RSA . And that too, to the tune of averaging 31 and 29 or so. That's more than acceptable. Make no mistake, Murali > Laker just nice to debate these things....
