Who?

Certainly not me nor @Slifer

idr. Someone either in this thread or the other recent one.

The OP said WI are competitive, which is true but they aren't better.

Simpson
Ponting
Smith
Kallis
Chappell

Hadlee
Warne
Steyn
McGrath

Hobbs
Sutcliffe/Hutton
Hammond/Richards
Tendulkar
Lara
Sobers
Knott+
Imran*
Marshall
Ambrose
Muralitharan

Northern Hemisphere beats Southern Hemisphere without Bradman? Closer than some of the other matchups imo. Put in Hutton and Richards to keep you guys happy

South has slightly better bowling and Gilly vs Knott but North has a bigger gap in batting skill imo.

I personally wouldn't mind sacrificing Ambrose for Akram in the northern team.

You always find the receipts

Of course the Windies AT XI would be competitive against a SENA AT XI, even with Bradman.

they are certainly not the favourites but it’s entirely plausible any team with Greenidge, Richards, Headley, Sobers, Lara, Marshall, Ambrose, Holding etc can win a match or series against anyfantasy team alive

One receipt and now I’m the receipt boy… its just like work all over again

Actually, Australia's 2nd XI would be as good as all the other's first barring WI and Eng.

No wonder given the time factor.

You could reduce the time to how short a frame you want and we’d still win. Stop being salty that we’re awesome.

Actually, the time factor comment of his makes absolutely no sense. Australia has awesome players from every era.

I always thought it was kind of crazy how competitive we were even in the early days, what with the amount of County matches vs our matches.

In the 19th century in Eng/Aus tests:

26 won by England, 20 won by Australia, 10 draws.

However if time factor is taken in to account, the second XIs would be much more poorer and will have hard time beating any other country XI, as claimed.
