The reverse of the previous thread. Pick your choice batsmen to deal with these scenarios:

A) 15 runs required off the last over by Joel Garner

B) Need to bat the last over to save a test in Adelaide with McGrath bowling

C) Batting an entire last day to save a test in Mumbai against Ashwin and Jadeja

D) Coming in at 30/3 on a worn out Sydney wicket chasing 150 with Warne and MacGill bowling

E) Day one, session one and opening in Headingley with Anderson and Broad bowling in overcast conditions

F) 170/9 with a tailender and chasing 220 on a bouncy Perth wicket with Ambrose and Walsh bowling

Surprised you went for Smith rather than Lara.

Hussey is a good call. I would have gone for Mark Waugh.

Yeah Lara is a good call now that I think about it. Ball would be turning in to him too

Hussey was a master of batting with the tail and loves batting at Perth

I would say he was satisfactory but not an underachiever like KP. ABD should have played 10-20 more tests and have a 2-3 point boost in average but he still ended up with an excellent record.

Says a lot about ABD that he can be considered best for two opposite scenarios.

Greatly underachived is not true. He has a very similar record as Viv ,close to 9K @50 odd.

Greatly underachived means he should be 2nd best batsman of all time after Don. I don't believe in tests he was more talented then Sachin and Lara.
