Aus Xi vs combined Ind & Pak xi

[DrWolverine]

Warne is the best bowler here after McGrath.

Warne is not doing **** against us.

 

[Johan]

also Imran averages 28 in Australia, Wasim 24, Waqar 40. It's not some god level attack for Australia, their batting superiority would overwhelm.

half the team is Pakistani who he has a stellar record against.

That’s why I said peak versions

Imran & Akram have had ATG series there

 

[DrWolverine]

Sure.

The other half is Indian legends - Sunny, SRT & Dravid

 

[DrWolverine]

1. I agree Aus 11 is stronger

2. I am saying peak versions Ind/Pak has a chance to win in Aus. Aus winning in Ind or even Pak is unlikely.

 

[Johan]

Sure.

The other half is Indian legends - Sunny, SRT & Dravid

if the game is in Australia, on average, Lillee and McGrath would've already gotten Sunny and Dravid by the time Warne comes in to bowl, he only needs to evade Tendulkar.

The Pak batsmen that OP has in the team are actually very good against spin especially Miandad. There is not much Warne is doing against this batting line up.

 

[DrWolverine]

True.

 

[Johan]

wait how is Miandad better than Younis against spin?

If it is peak versions; Warne is not going to do much against Gavaskar, Dravid, Miandad, Kohli and Sachin.

 

[Johan]

If it is peak versions, then the Asian pacers are not doing much against Prime Ponting, Smith, Chappell, Border and Waugh. As that lineup is also GOAT tier against fast bowling.

Miandad was a master of playing spin. His footwork against them was incredible. He would use the crease very well too.

IIRC Imran was pretty decent against prime Chappell. Cbf looking it up though.

Prime Ponting is an issue but maybe we can get Harbhajan in the team to take care of that

The SC team needs to get Waqar out. He's a weak link.

Waqar and Cummins are the weak links yeah, I think someone like Ashwin or Kumble need to come in for Waqar.

Ind+Pak has Imran, Wasim and Bumrah. Don't need Waqar. Play Ashwin.

 

[smash84]

Waqar and Cummins are the weak links yeah, I think someone like Ashwin or Kumble need to come in for Waqar.

To be honest, Warne is the real weak link in the Australian side. The SC batsmen will murder him.

Waqar has no chance against the Aussies though. Bumrah, Wasim, and Imran can be a handful.

True. I also don't have faith in the skill of a few against HTD pace of Cummins/McGrath/Lillee from the Indo-pak side, I think Australians have a clear weakness to great spin bowling (Ponting/Chappell/Waugh) but bizarrely there's no spin bowler in the Indo-pak XI.

Peak Sunny?? Nope.

 

[Johan]

Peak Sunny?? Nope.

It's really hard to stop a double pronged ATG pace attack from two ends on smth like current Australian wickets.
