your knowledge so far just extends to looking up averages in cricinfo and using that as a basis for making these comparisons. i doubt it
i don't mind if you disagree but give your counter opinion on it. @Coronis he told me to take Lillee instead of Garner so i accepted his Logic. I felt i was wrong in my calculation. So it is just a fun exercise and no one is right or wrong. it is just an entertaining debate

Keep Garner. He has the best stats for a 3rd pacer. You need that kind of variety. If you want Lillee, he can come in for Marshall or Imran or Hadlee.

Lillee reminds me of a Tiger ? that hunts alone but West Indian Quartet were Lions who could hunt together ?

Yeah and Australia had some other good quicks and swing bowlers too. Would be more appropriate for Hadlee (as much as late career Collinge, Chatfield, L Cairns, J Bracewell, young Morrison did a job).
Thompson was more of a home track hero. But the West Indies Quartet were good all over the World.
