Pick which side is better (between these two 90s and 2010s teams)

2000s Team

Hayden
Sehwag/Smith
Ponting
Dravid
Sanga
Kallis
Gilly
Pollock
Shoaib
McGrath
Murali

This could compete with either 90s or 2010s.

Pollock belongs to the 90s.

 

[subshakerz]

Pollock belongs to the 90s.

He played 70 tests in the 2000s, majority of his career. 260 wickets@24.

His record is much better in the 90s

 

[subshakerz]

His record is much better in the 90s

So what? Slim pickings for pacers in the 2000s y'know.

Nothing but picking him in the 2000s just doesn't feels right.....

That's because it was half way through his peak but he qualifies unless you want Ntini.

Steyn’s record isn’t half bad in the 00’s either. Depends if a player can only play for one decade or not.

Steyn really only came good 2007 onwards but yeah he has a case. But already selected in the 2010s side.

 

[Van_Sri]

The 1980s team would beat the 90s

Greenidge
Gavaskar
Viv
Crowe
Miandad
Border
Imran
Dujon (wk)
Hadlee
Marshall
Garner

Very strong (and incredibly deep batting) plus 4 elite ATG pace bowlers (best of the best)

Edit

I think Gavaskar comes in 70s so better to include Desmond Haynes
