Your ATG team pace bowling trio

[number11]

Macko, Wes and Steyn. Immy would be there as an AR but strictly 3 from those listed. Wasim gets in for the LH variation.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

no

Yes, he discovered him. Without Wright, Bumrah may have never made it in cricket.

 

[Shri]

He was a net bowler in RCB, Kohli let him go and he got into Mumbai Indians

Marshall, Steyn, Ambrose

 

[number11]

Marshall, Steyn, Ambrose

It was very tough for me to leave Amby out - and in a H2H I rate him over Akram (just). However, in combination terms, I felt Wasim's LH angle added more to the whole. Marshall is a lock, Steyn probably is as well. It's difficult to leave any one of that calibre out.

So, it seems like a consensus for #batdeep among CW here.

Throw in Warne at XI, and it would be an absolutely stupendous batting tail.

McGrath vote is indeed surprising.

Very, but it's early and a point is to be made.

Guy's a lock as far as I'm concerned.

 

[silentstriker]

Hmm are we taking into account batting for sake of team balance?

 

[silentstriker]

I would pick Lillee, McGrath and Marshall but from here a trio of McGrath, Marshall and Akram - I think you get excellent variety and ability to bowl any side out, in any conditions, with both old and new ball.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Akram
Hadlee
Procter

Voted for Akram, Hadlee and Marshall.

Lillee and Trueman missing in the list

 

[ataraxia]

I would need to know if there will be a batting allrounder in the team first, so basically is Sobers also in the team?

Assuming no Sobers then I'll go with Wasim, Marshall and McGrath (If Procter was an option I'd pick him over Wasim)

It's your team: you choose the other 8 players as well. If you normally choose 2 spinners and 2 pacers, you should only vote for 2 options.

Hmm are we taking into account batting for sake of team balance?

Per the above, yes (if that would normally be a consideration for you).

The question never said we couldn't.

 

[Brook's side]

No they shouldn't.

Garner should.

I might pick a left armer as a unit, but Garner is in my top 3 fast (/fast medium) bowlers.

 

[Prince EWS]

Should had included Barnes and Lillee (not that I was going to select them anyway- just here to complain)

And Garner for his batting.

 

[Burgey]

no

yes

 

[Coronis]

yes

maybe

McGrath vote is indeed surprising.

Making a tentative comeback....

Would like to see 50 votes or so to get a real consensus

Nice strategic vote for Steyn as the 3rd best ever pacer (rather than Imran or Hadlee, your boy McGrath's main voting threat).

 

[Burgey]

It's pretty embarrassing. If McGrath got to bowl on the NZ tracks Hadlee did he'd have averaged about 14
