There is no point in selecting a team if we know that it will win. We have to select the best team of all time from earth which can play an equally strong team from Mars and hence, has to be equipped to face all scenarios. Roles of 9-11 is not to win games with the bat but to not be a bunny and support the batsman at the other end to their best. Pollock will be better in that.

But the primary duty of 9-11 is to be good bowlers and defend totals and bowl out oppositions. Bowling skill is the most important factor for that and I think McGrath is a bigger matchwinner with the ball than Pollock. He is greatest ODI baller tied with Garner. Two main pacers have to be the best bowlers, not a combination of near the greatest bowling and some batting.
