WI XI vs ROW XI (minus the Don) IN the WI.

[Slifer]

Piggybacking on subshakerz's thread the above is self explanatory. The Don is left out because quite frankly Australia alone would probably be able to beat the WI in WI if he's included. Below I'll list the WI XI with their home averages and my pick for a ROW to face them:

Haynes @ 56
Greenidge @ 48
Headley @ 77
Lara @ 58
Walcott @ 70
Sobers @ 67 and 34
Dujon @ 32
Holder J @ 38 and 24
Marshall @ 21 and 20
Ambrose @ 21
Garner/Roach/Holding/Gibbs: @ 22/22/24/29

Nice. I assume we have to factor WI records too.

Give me four more windies batsmen/keeper/all-rounders and 7 players for the windies side and i'll sim it.

Yeah but with an obvious set of caveats. For example, any bowler making hay vs WI from I'd say the retirement of Lara in 2007 to now is basically bowling to a minnow-esque batting lineups. Ditto the batsmen from about 2000 til the emergence of Holder/Roach and specifically in the WI. I don't think any sim can capture that.

Four more WI sides and seven World sides? And the venues are as follows:

Sabina: green and bouncy
Kensington: ditto
QPO: uneven bounce
Bourda Flat
ARG: Flat

Yeah for for windies, seven for world. Keep the windies to all-rounders/bats/spinner/keeper since there's already a ton of seamers there.

You have to have Viv in place of Greenidge or Haynes. Holder doesn't belong here, put an extra pacer, preferably Holding.

Holder's record in the windies is phenomenal and he strengthens the batting tbf.

AR: Worrell
Batsman: Weekes
Spinner: Gibbs
Keeper: Alexander

World:
Border, Armanath, Waqar, Wasim, Simpson, Miller. I'll let you choose the 7th.

The caveat is the WI at home. And Holder has been excellent at home but i wont quibble if you chose another bowler over him. Overall I'd pick Viv but in the WI, the likes of Walcott have to come into play.

Couldn't find amarnath and there was a few players with different spelling it could be, so I did proctor instead, picked warne as the 7th.
