Kapil was a better white ball all-rounder, a strike rate of 95 in that era is bat**** crazy. His fitness, sharp fielding and ability to bowl at the death would've made him the MVP of T20s.

If there was some kind of simulation to see Bradman vs Murali, it would be epic. Would've said Ambrose vs Bradman but then I wouldn't want to witness murder.

John R Reid in a decent team (one he didn't have to carry) would be a quality T20 player.

I'd like to see Warner facing quicks pre helmets and modern bats.

Bradman in ODI’s should be at least comparable if not bigger outlier.
In T20’s I would definitely think Sobers would be The Greatest.

Eh Hammond was a relatively slow batter but yeah big guy - could probably get used to a faster pace. Think he had some aggressive tons.

Great side, but with Sobers opening, I'd want G Pollock in there to have a destructive left hander in the middle order.

Garner and Richards had a style that was anyways T20 oriented. Sobers too a good shout as he had so much to offer even if you take away his batting skilsl. Not sure about the rest.

Over Ronnie Irani?

For a guy like Hammond who was 6 ft 2, strong guy with the perhaps best pyshique in cricket history,it should definitely be a walk in park to adapt in T20.
These bigger bats which goes for six despite edge plus bowl few overs if needed.
Would pay large sum of money to see Hammond. Though none compares to the sight of seeing Trumper.

Quicks of which era? 80s would be a nightmare for batters from any era. 30s 40s? Warner would absolutely annihilate them.

The thread talks about sending players to other eras using a "Time Machine". Definitely believe this version of Warner may have a hard time in the 80s(just like all the other batters from other eras) and would tear apart the line-ups of the 30s/40s. What's wrong with that?
So the idea of a defensive player from 80-90 years back being a T20 GOAT seems OK to you but Warner going back and wrecking bowlers of a different era is hard to digest?

And of course Larwood who was probably quicker than any quicks of 70s/80s bar Thommo. Anyone from any era is running into nightmare regardless of the eras.
Arm Speed is just insane!

Ambrose would go for a lot more than normal but I don't think Bradman would literally kill him.
