I'd put Bumrah over Holding and Steyn would get in ofc, seeing as he's missing out currently

Steyn is not in the second team?

 

[Johan]

Donald vs Lillee vs Bumrah is my guess

HAH! this is CW, Lillee won't even make it into the 4th XI

He's getting beat by Barnes and Ambrose currently, and I'm pretty sure Imran will win the third pacer round

We'll see

1st team : Maco. Hadlee. McGrath.
2nd team : Barnes. Ambrose. Imran.

3rd team should be interesting

Steyn. Akram. Lillee. Sounds good to me.

 

[DrWolverine]

Lillee. Donald. Steyn.
The three most aggressive pacers of their eras.

Akram over Lillee for variety sounds good as well

Cummins won't get in over Lindwall

Yeah this was epic...
If you had to pick 1, would you pick this or Bumrah vs Pope?

 

[Johan]

Cummins won't get in over Lindwall

more first change experience.

Whereas in the real world he is the first pacer on the sheet. Lol such a disconnect.

Allan Donald had one against Sachin as well.

He used to be, idk how modern gen rate him

 

[sayon basak]

Cummins won't get in over Lindwall

Neither will Laker ahead of Ashwin.

This because there was a history behind this. Atherton had defied Donald with his 185 in 95 and then in 98. So there was a build up to this test and Donald blew him away.

 

[Johan]

Barnes and Ambrose opening would be some sight, two completely different bowlers, the bats would've to adjust for differet pace and Barnes's swing every single over.

 

[DrWolverine]

Allan Donald revenge against Sachin Tendulkar 🔥🔥 #sg #viral

Yeah that's true... Pope vs Bumrah has a bit of a backstory too though with pope's ATG match winning knock in the first test
