Hmm true (not "sux", just had a had year due to injury but anyway)

Deadlock between May, Harvey and Weekes

Miller and Lindwall I forgot. You need a spinner tho. Would remove Compton for Miller in the late middle order.

90s-2000s would win, and it would be belts to asses.

In my opinion, of course.

Don't delude yourself, a proper 1950s/1960s team would have 4 ATG pace options + Sobers, 90s and 00s have nothing to crush them in South Africa

Not with the side I have stated you need a spinner.

And Warne outshines any spinner in SA.

And what makes you think I'm gonna listen to you

 

[Coronis]

Unsure why Tayfield wouldn’t be chosen. Better bowler and batsman than Gibbs. Also clearly actually proven in South African conditions.

bowler part is very debatable but I was actually thinking of him as SA's greatest spinner, he would've a big advantage in South Africa.

Fair.

So, Who do you think is the best cricketer of the two team?

Perfect team except Compton. I would probably have Harvey instead. This team should get it done imho.

 

[Line and Length]

I agree with Tayfield ahead of Gibbs in SA. In England I's opt for Laker but Gibbs is fine elsewhere.

 

[Johan]

I have Compton over May and Harvey but I think Harvey is a better fit for 50s

 

[ankitj]

Jim Laker or Hugh Tayfield over Lance Gibbs.

Edit: It will in fact be home ground for Tayfield.
