You gotta safeguard the 1971 and 1979 WI serieses with your life boy
I think 71 is safe given the significance and the difference in quality of the teams and all. I don't rate runs much which comes against weak teams, mostly runs except which your team is fine. 71 WI is probably the hardest opposite of that. Ofcourse weak bowling takes it down a notch, but damn, is it still really Great.
79 WI bowling is downgraded just because it wasn't full team (which ofcourse, is the best ever). Sylvester Clarke, Vanburn Holder and a young Malcolm Marshall who actually blasted everyone in FC that season; is pretty Good overall. Definitely not really a weak attack
