Which of these Australian 90s XIs are better? (22 unique players)

[mr_mister]

I'll do the Australian one too. This one might be trickier with the batting/bowling split.

Again, keep it to what they achieved in the decade

Team A:

Mark Taylor
Michael Slater
David Boon
Mark Waugh
Steve Waugh
Allan Border
Ian Healy +
Paul Reiffel
Merv Hughes
Craig McDermott
Stuart MacGill

12th man: Michael Kasprowicz

Team B:

Matthew Elliott
Greg Blewett
Justin Langer
Dean Jones
Michael Bevan
Ricky Ponting
Adam Gilchrist +
Shane Warne
Damian Fleming
Jason Gillespie
Glen McGrath

12th man: Darren Lehmann

 

[Molehill]

Team B every time. Love to see what the Team A batting averages would be if they'd ever had to face that bowling attack.

Any team with Shane Warne in it wins.

I wasn't sure which team Gilly and Healy should be in.

In this case the batting of the 1st team is 10x better than the 2nd team. Ponting and Langer were ok 90s players but obviously become greats in the 00s.

Bowling of the 2nd team clearly better though.

Team A in tests and team B in ODIs.

I wondered where Hayden was, but he played seven unsuccessful tests from 94-97, then came back in 2000 and hit an astonishing run of form for the next eight seasons (only averaging under 40 in a single year in the last).

 

[honestbharani]

If you really wanted an interesting debate, you should move Warne to the first team and MacGill to the second.

 

[Prince EWS]

Team B bowling in India with broken toenails.

 

[Slifer]

Replace Merv with Bruce Reid imo.
