Which batsmen would you choose for these scenarios?

Regardless, Freddie needs a better partner than Jimmy who isn't really on the prior's level on any wicket, maybe Sir Alec would be a respectable partner for Fred here

Viv is extremely skilled against spin but doesn't have the achievements to be there against Ashwin and Kumble, of course it's completely possible that Viv was at that level against spin as he objectively displayed zero weaknesses against spin but to be an elite ATG player of spin, combined with consistency against spin throughout career, you also need the X factor of either dominating one of the three ATG spinners, or some thing insane on wet wickets.
