Why are Ponting and especially Dravid opening? And an Ind/Pak without a spinner is a crime.

Just pick which team above looks stronger in your opinion even if your team choice would be different

Just pick which team above looks stronger in your opinion even if your team choice would be different

At least put Younis 3 and Kohli 6
And Aus wins simply due to Ind/Pak not having a spinner

 

[Johan]

Australia wins without that much effort.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Australia, despite Ponting opening, just because Ind/Pak don't have a spinner (a travesty).

 

[Johan]

Their batting is better too

 

[Coronis]

Australia always wins.

[DrWolverine]

It depends on the conditions.

Lillee never played in India.
Warne sucks in India.
Cummins isn’t good in India.

Bumrah, Imran & Akram have ATG series in Aus.

 

[Johan]

In Australia, Australia would win via a big batting gap.

 

[DrWolverine]

If we are taking peak versions; India/Pakistan has a higher chance of winning in Australia than the Australian team winning in India/Pakistan.

 

[Johan]

Nah, both teams would get whitewashed most probably in the opponent's home territory

 

[Johan]

In neutral locations like England/South Africa/New Zealand/West Indies, Australia would have the clear cut edge.

 

[DrWolverine]

No.

Warne is a non-entity in India. Cummins’ record is poor in India. Lillee has never played here. McGrath hasn’t won a single match single handedly despite dozen tries in India.

India/Pakistan bowling lineup is better in OP’s team. Bumrah, Imran & Akram have done well in Aus.

 

[DrWolverine]

Australia’s batting is better.
Ind/Pak’s bowling is better.

Bumrah + Imran + Akram > McGrath + Lillee + Cummins.

As great as Warne is, he is a non-entity when it comes to Indian batsmen and maybe Pak batsmen as well. We have trashed him in Tests & ODIs

 

[Thala_0710]

Yeah, even if that's true, they have Bradman

 

[DrWolverine]

Yeah, even if that's true, they have Bradman

OP’s team doesn’t have Bradman

[Johan]

Warne is the best bowler here after McGrath. I said India would win in India, Australia in Australia, in neutral locations, again, clearly Australia.

Yea these aren’t all time teams
