The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

Red

The normal awards that everyone else has
Noooooo.

Never mind SWaugh, McGrath basically unpicked the windies in 95 even as a pup. By 97 he was crazy good. Donald was brilliant but a bit soft on the left side of his chest cavity and Waqar, albeit only aged 5 by the mid-90s was having lots of injury worries.
Obviously not saying McGrath wasn't good, but talking the decade of the 90s, the three best quicks were probably Ambrose, Wasim and one of either Donald or Waqar.

Not just any 4 pacers though. They did keep winning for a few years in all conditions so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I believe in playing to your strengths.
I'm sure I've seen a stat which says the West Indian bowler of the 70s to mid 90s era with the best win ratio in tests was... Roger Harper.

Can't believe I forgot Lillee. He'd be 12th man in the 2nd XI, but would come in if Morrison got injured.

Knott does make a few people's ATG XI to be fair, even if Gilchrist makes most. Not sure it quite warrants 4 question marks, perhaps 2 :p
