Cricketer Of The Year
Hadlee, Donald, Wasim. Think that particular combination would be sensational. Complement each other perfectly

Whatever it takes!!!
Marshall over Hadlee but otherwise, same for me.

I went for Marshall, McGrath and Lillee. But Ambrose, Hadlee and Akram would do in an emergency.

+ 1 to the bloc voting for Marshall, McGrath and Someone Else. (I went for Imran for my 3rd vote but you could justifiably pick most of the guys on the list.)

I always want Steyn in there to cause some havoc.
McGrath/Marshall (really can't decide), Steyn, Wasim
With Imran in there as the bowling all rounder batting at 6 (he is in the 80s team...), you could play 4 pace bowlers + 1 spinner.

Lillee, just two votes....
there is You Tube to remind us how great he really was, the best bowler in the two years of WSC also

Best for each country in the timeframe?
Australia
McGrath, Lillee, Cummins
England
Anderson/Willis/Snow
India
Kapil/Bumrah/Shami
New Zealand
Hadlee/Bond/Jamieson
Pakistan
Wasim/Waqar/Imran
South Africa
Steyn/Donald/Pollock
Sri Lanka
Vaas/Malinga/Ratnayake (or Ratnayeke) although I didn't mind Zoysa and Fernardo. Thought Pushpakamara might be useful once and obviously Lakmal is decent now.
Windies
Marshall/Holding/Ambrose
Zimbabwe
Streak/Jarvis/Muzarabani (otherwise Blignaut)

way too early, he hasn't been tested out of swinging conditions

Fair enough. Wagner then, but he's more of a 4th seamer
Burgey

Garner pretty comfortably over Holding for mine. The latter was a fine bowler but is seriously over rated

Botham over Anderson for England.

I agree. Mistake on my behalf.
MM and Ambrose with the new ball then Garner 1st change. Wow!

Why exactly? I actually think the opposite. Garner on this forum seems to be overrated as a test bowler. Though I admit as a third seamer he is a good contrast.
