Which bowlers would you pick for these scenarios?

[subshakerz]

One reason I prefer Garner over McGrath in a last over ODI scenario is Garner was taller had a better yorker. I have seen McGrath carted around in the final overs occasionally, most memorably by Moin in the 99 WC.

Do you reckon Rahul Dravid, batting for a draw on day 5, is going to pull out an expansive hook shot to a bouncer? McGrath does every other ball you've described really well. Lillee bowling a stack of cutters on a wearing deck would be really tough too. He got terrific at that on Aus decks in the latter part of his career.

For some reason I see Dravid getting out by flicking a rising delivery to the keeper that is not quite high enough to duck. As you said, may be best to bounce him out.

Wonder how Mitchell Johnson would do. He did get Smith out with a terrific cutter as they were nearly salvaging a draw in 08.

 

[Burgey]

Depends which version of him turns up I suppose

 

[Everton Seymour]

A - Junaid Khan , once defended 7 in the final over against SA, has dismissed AB a couple of times ... Experienced at bowling at the death , a touch underrated so AB could also get complacent against him .

B - Lasith Malinga , need someone to bowl full , fast and straight..Walsh gonna have extreme difficulty picking up his slower ball Yorker never mind his faster one.

C - Malcolm Marshall , he averages 14.30 at Headingley for West Indies and with his experience in County Cricket aswell he'll know exactly what is needed to wreck havoc.

D - Shane Warne , I mean if you're gonna bowl a side out for 135 you're gonna need a bit of magic and that's what Warne can do .

E - Waqar Younis, it's India vs Pakistan so Waqar has extra motivation to break the wall and seal a famous win ..Reverse swinging Yorkers incoming!

Malinga is a decent shout. Had that happy knack of taking 4 wickets in 4 balls, a decent skill to possess

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Bumrah is also good for A. He has good record against AB in ipl and is a great death bowler

 

[Daemon]

I would have Nawaz (3) in all

 

[honestbharani]

I would have Nawaz (3) in all

With the keeper back

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Vaas would also be good for the first scenario

[subshakerz]

A : Garner
B : Akhtar(or Starc)
C : Anderson
D : Murali/Warne
E : Last one is tough. I doubt anyone can take Dravid wicket when he is defending(and that only in one over) but Mcgrath as Dravid himself has said he is the toughest he has faced and Dravid defensive style favours Mcgrath the most.

Why not have Warne go at Dravid for that last over?

Why not have Warne go at Dravid for that last over?

Because Warne was **** against India.

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Tests-
C-Anderson or Akram

D-O’Reilly

E-Barnes

 

[subshakerz]

Because Warne was **** against India.

Not against Dravid, he did quite well against him.
