Paddles and Crowe would need the biggest carryjob to beat Mccullum's Xi. They're capable of it though. However, Mccullum's Xi will win more often than not.

Paddles' XI would win, but why is he captain? Also Vettori only played 1 test under McCullum’s captaincy as a fill-in 3rd spinner and Burgess shouldn't be in the other team.

Also, surely someone better than Peter Fulton is out there?

Nah.

Jeet Raval debuted under Williamson and Hamish Rutherford did worse than Fulton.


Williamson's team that won the WTC was stronger than any of McCullum's team

Paddles' XI would win, but why is he captain?

I called the team Paddles' XI, so I made him captain despite him not being a regular skipper.

Also Vettori only played 1 test under McCullum’s captaincy as a fill-in 3rd spinner

I really wanted a spinner in McCullum's xi, but honestly, all the other spinners during B-Mac's captaincy were pretty poor. At least Vettori got to play one match, so I included him.

Burgess shouldn't be in the other team.

Sure, I can replace Mark Burgess with Geoff Howarth and give Howarth the captaincy.

No, Guptill and Rutherford were also poor with the bat at that time.
