Which bowlers would you pick for these scenarios?

[subshakerz]

ODI/T20s:
Scenario A: 15 runs required off the last over and 1 wicket left, ABDevillíers on strike with tailender.

Scenario B: 2 runs required off the last over, 2 wickets left, Walsh on strike.

Tests:
Scenario C: Day 1, session 1, overcast conditions in Headingley

Scenario D: Batting team chasing 135 in Trent Bridge on a Day 5 worn out, spin-friendly pitch

Scenario E: Dravid, last wicket remaining, batting the last over to save a test in Adelaide.

 

[Burgey]

A & B - McGrath or Garner
C & E - McGrath
D - Warne or Murali

 

[StephenZA]

Joel Garner for LO, Malcom Marshall for Test...

Warne at amazing Adelaide showed me he was the day 5 king. The draw must have been paying 1.01 at the start of that day

 

[Adorable Asshole]

A : Garner
B : Akhtar(or Starc)
C : Anderson
D : Murali/Warne
E : Last one is tough. I doubt anyone can take Dravid wicket when he is defending(and that only in one over) but Mcgrath as Dravid himself has said he is the toughest he has faced and Dravid defensive style favours Mcgrath the most.

A-Garner
B-Waqar 90-95
C-Anderson 2010 - 2018
D-Warne
E-Wasim

A & B - McGrath or Garner
C & E - McGrath
D - Warne or Murali

The problem with McGrath in Scenario B is that he is unlikely to stop the batsman from getting the first single. Wouldn't you rather someone like Starc or Waqar capable of running through the tailenders?

Same with scenario E. Far easier to block or leave rather than attack McGrath in my view.

E : Last one is tough. I doubt anyone can out Dravid when he is defending but Mcgrath as Dravid himself has said he is the toughest he has faced and Dravid defensive style favours Mcgrath the most.

Wasim is one bloke who made Dravid clueless few times. However he never bowled Dravid post 2002.
Wasim90-97 Dravid 2002-2008 will be great battle.

 

[trundler]

Wasim

Garner

McGrath

Murali/Warne/Laker/Verity

Marshall

True. But for some reason I find Murali more capable of running through an entire lineup.

 

[subshakerz]

Joel Garner for LO, Malcom Marshall for Test...

Would take Hadlee over Marshall if overcast

 

[subshakerz]

Wasim

Garner

McGrath

Murali/Warne/Laker/Verity

Marshall

Wouldn't you switch Wasim and Garner tho?

I'd back Glenn McGrath to stop Courtney Walsh getting a single.

And if it's up and down on day 5 he will be always making the batsman play.

Actually, Lillee in scenario E would be a good shout too.

Scenario E should be a bowler with variety to try bouncers, yorkers, cutters, etc to pry Dravid open.

 

[trundler]

Scenario E should be a bowler with variety to try bouncers, yorkers, cutters, etc to pry Dravid open.

Or a tall accurate bowler who gets extra bounce. Dravid struggled against bounce, not pace or movement. McGrath fits the bill.

 

[StephenZA]

Would take Hadlee over Marshall if overcast

There is not a single time I would take another bowler over a Marshall at his best... even on a spinning pitch, mainly because he could reverse swing the ball with the best of them amongst all his other skills.

What about Starc who was the king of the out of the blue unplayable delivery? I am thinking that short ball to Shafiq as Pakistan were doing that record chase.

 

[trundler]

What about Starc who was the king of the out of the blue unplayable delivery?

Likely to go missing in the 4th innings. Plus, just not that great. Why would you go with Starc when you can have Wasim?.

Yeah I would favor Wasim in that scenario.

 

[Burgey]

Do you reckon Rahul Dravid, batting for a draw on day 5, is going to pull out an expansive hook shot to a bouncer? McGrath does every other ball you've described really well. Lillee bowling a stack of cutters on a wearing deck would be really tough too. He got terrific at that on Aus decks in the latter part of his career.
