Could a Combined SC XI have beaten Waugh's or Ponting's Teams from 99 to 2007 in Australia?

[subshakerz]

Is it a combined team also from the same period?

I didn't specify, I just said they have to be from the same era.

If we do an exact time period, it becomes more difficult. I think Ganguly's side from 2003 which nearly beat Australia could be enhanced with Inzi, Shoaib and Vaas and it becomes more likely to win that series.

I will be happy just to see Anwar and Sehwag bat in the same match , what a devastating partnership that would be

It would be awesome, one brutal, one elegant, both aggressive.

Vs

Hayden
Langer
Ponting
Husssey
Waugh S *
Clarke
Gilchrist+
Warne
Gillespie
Fleming
Mcgrath

Australia are winning.

Definitely Aus favorites , but favorites don't always win ..
Also we gotta make sure the Umpires are not Steve Bucknor and Darrell Hair

 

[trundler]

Well let's see ..
From 1999 to 2007 , a side in Australia

1.Saeed Anwar
2.Virender Sehwag
3.Rahul Dravid
4.Sachin Tendulkar
5.VVS Laxman
6.Younus Khan
7.Kumar Sangakkara (WK)
8.Wasim Akram
9.Zaheer Khan
10.Saqlain Mushtaq
11.Shoaib Akthar/Mohammad Asif

Yes definitely it can be done

Think this side has a chance but if we're trying to find a particular period where it would've been possible then the answer is no.

Not really. Aussies have better bowlers but SC has better batsmen.

 

[honestbharani]

Razzaq over Younis at 6 or maybe even batting at 7. Annoyed McGrath and can be a useful 4th seamer.

ODIs maybe not tests.

 

[Shri]

we wouldn't beat them if it happened in that time period with umpires not letting murali bowl and blatantly cheating with racism involved

transfer those atg aus players with peak skill to the present day and they will be easily beaten with drs etc

ASIA has better batting overall? No, that's highly debatable. And even less so IN Australia.

Would still lose IMO.
SC bowling is simply inferior to the Australian batting lineup in Australian conditions. So I don't think they can bowl Australia out under a reasonable score twice on Australia bouncy roads.

 

[centurymaker]

IN Australia? No.

DRS has definitely helped away sides close the gap. Back in the day partial umpiring was so prevalent all over the world.

 

[Shri]

IN Australia? No.

nah. just need good tactics to combat skill differences.

 

[Ali TT]

The Aussies faced a world XI at one point and absolutely pummeled them, so can't see an SC XI winning.

 

[Slifer]

Batting is close but Australia's fielding and better bowling I their own conditions gives them the advantage imo.

 

[Migara]

Definitely. Pace from Pakistan, Spin and batting from India, and fielding and spin bowling from Sri Lanka. 1-1 for sure in a 3 match series. Likely to be 2-1 on neutral grounds and a whitewash in Asia.

That was a piss poor side with a collection of best players. Not players complementing and playing as a team.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

No chance ..They would crumble ..Don't think the team chemistry would be that great either

 

[the big bambino]

Didn’t Australia beat an ICC XI in that time?

 

[Slifer]

Definitely. Pace from Pakistan, Spin and batting from India, and fielding and spin bowling from Sri Lanka. 1-1 for sure in a 3 match series. Likely to be 2-1 on neutral grounds and a whitewash in Asia.

You're crazy . Pakistan pace (with the exception of Wasim) and spin bowling from anywhere is utterly useless in Australia. And with respect, there won't be enough Sri Lankans in the team to affect the fielding. No combined Asian team from that era is beating Australia in Australia. And they'd win only in Asia.
