The West Indies attack actually showed better overall figures when they played 3 quicks plus a spinner like Harper.
In other words playing 4 fast bowlers didn’t improve their ability to win a Test match at all, and that it supposedly did is an a myth that endures to this day.
Imran-Hadlee-Marshall-Underwood or Imran-Marshall-Lillee-Qadir are better balanced and more potent attacks overall IMO.
Not only that but they would be more entertaining for the spectator to watch - which is the point of cricket.
