Sobers/Imran/Hadlee vs Bradman/Murali/Marshall

[subshakerz]

Assuming the rest of the teammates are substandard club cricketers, and you are expected to face mid to top level test teams, which trio are you going to pick for your side?

 

[Johan]

Murali is a weaklink here

 

[Johan]

though Bradman decides it. Sobers + Imran batting < Bradman.

How? Generally considered a better bowler than Imran (though not by me).

Hadlee also bats.

Ok so kyear2 wasn't wrong, Subz indeed may think Sobers might have some arguments.

Huh? I think it's obvious that there is a batting vs bowling argument between the two trios. Bradman alone blows Sobers out of the water.

GOAT.
GOAT pacer. GOAT spinner.
That team.

Nah

Yeah but that team has Bradman and nobody else. If he gets out it's gameover whereas if Sobers gets out there is a still a chance Imran and Hadlee may scrap a score. Even if Bradman stay he is likely to run out of partners.

Also the big advantage for ARs is that they have a third bowler in Sobers who can do grunt overs outside the two ATG pacers.

The advantage of Murali is he practically can bowl over 30 overs a day from an end, nullifying a part of workload advantage they have with Garry

Bradman will actually be wasted in a team in which the second best batsman (by far) is Malcolm Marshall. He'll accrue so many not outs.

Yeah. He will have nobody to bat with. His RPI will be nowhere near 100.

That's fine but Marshall can't be expected to bowl the rest of the overs. At some point they will have to give a couple of club bowlers time to bowl who will get hammered. Plus you lose first day and new ball advantages.

I mean, neither are those 3 bowling all the overs between themselves.
