WTF, what if you don't want to have three seamers in the side or have an all rounder at first change.

Dire, noy going to vote...

Ah, but what would Garner's E/R be if he played today?
Dunno, what would Hayden's average be if he played then? It works both ways. You can only judge by how well you do against your peers. And if people were more willing to block in ODIs then, it would mean a lower E/R, but Garner has a low E/R, and a low S/R (which translates to an awesome average). Meaning, he took wickets when batsmen were less prone to giving their wickets away....so his achievements are even greater.

I think you need to favour bowlers who have bowled in the modern era as it is definately harder for bowlers in ODIs now than it was in the 1970s and 80s. With this in mind: Wasim Akram, Glenn McGrath and Shaun Pollock.

A great bowler full stop. Could swing it both ways at pace, and with accuracy. What more could you want from an ODI opening bowler?
