What would be your XI to beat this SC XI?

State Vice-Captain
Subz, Lara faced the Ws literally in one 3 match test series in Pakistan, hardly the sample size to be drawing such conclusions. Still my XI would be thus:
Hutton
Hobbs
Viv
Smith
Kallicharan
Sobers
Knott
Hadlee
Marshall
Steyn
O'Reilly
With these parameters, I doubt any team is going to beat the team you are listing in majority of games.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Is there an XI outside that can beat this team (no Bradman allowed)?
Sehwag
Gavsaskar
Younis Khan
Sachin
Miandad
Sanga (keeper)
Imran (captain)
Ashwin
Wasim
Waqar
Murali
I took out Bumrah, and kept Waqar which OP listed to not give too much advantage to this team. Anyway, you can't start blocking 2 players with one spot.
Question is about outside of this,
-----------------------------
I will go with this team outside of names listed by OP.
Hutton
Hobbs
Kallis
Smith
Sobers
Gilly
Jadeja
Marshall
Steyn
Bumrah
O'Reilly

Only non SC players
centurymaker
Cricketer Of The Year
Root has:
3 tons vs India in India @45.42 from 30 inns
10 tons vs India in England @72.79 from 34 inns
He's not in contention unless we are playing in Eng.

Lara by comparison isn't even as good against India or the 2Ws.
centurymaker
Cricketer Of The Year
It should be Smith unless he fails in 2027. Plus he is right-handed. Or Kallis

Swap kallis with sobers
Well, I am going to stick with players with actual track record in Asia. I will go with,
Hayden
Cook
Kallis
Smith
Lloyd*
Sobers
Gilly+
Marshall
Benaud
Steyn
Walsh
I don't think any combnation is going to win more games than lose if we are restricted with only non-asian players and have restrictions of pitch/conditions listed by OP.
I know posters will throw names from older era claiming that they were so good or something like that, but without any track record it's just an assumption. If we go by skills/output displayed by non-Asian players in Asia then it will be hard to beat the team OP selcted with restrictions listed. Wihtout those restrictions, it may be more competetive, but not sure how to match Ashwin+Murali conbination in Asian conditions.

Cook and Jayawardene would struggle with the pace
