@ataraxia @CricAddict Would probably be enough interest for another running imo. Maybe not to go as deep as previously but certainly an A team and probably B team as well for most sides.

8-9 for Australia and England
6-7 for SA
5-6 for India, Pakistan and WI
4-5 for NZ
4 for SL
3 for Zimbabwe and Bangladesh
1 for Afghanistan and Ireland
I think around these should be right.

Gary Kirsten had a better record in Asia compared to Amla. Andy Flower is a Wicket Keeper so don't need Knott. Why no Spinner ?

I just compiled it quickly based on records in India, I don’t care that much.
Flower is there as a batsman, Knott is a keeper.
I know Benaud had an excellent record in India, but a lot of spinners struggled there. Benaud didn’t fit the time frame.

Flower was a Keeper even when he scored double ton in India. Knott is required if you are taking lethal spinners otherwise Flower is good enough.

Cook did better than Smith in Asia. Also Adam Gilchrist failed in India and Andy Flower is one of the very best batsman there and if the team has only one spinner, can't see why he won't get ahead. Lara also did relatively poorly in India, and Viv was Okay in India and Pakistan both. Based on records, Border and Sobers (averages 100 odd) should be ahead of both easily. And of course, a 5 man bowling attack with only one kinda allrounder makes the batting susceptible.

I will probably go:
Hayden
Cook
Kallis
Smith
Sobers
Flower (wk)
Botham
Benaud
Hadlee
Marshall
Steyn
