You really think the 1990 series is reflective of Imran as a bowler?
Nope nor do I Ambrose in the 97 series in Pakistan. Ambrose played 4 series vs Pakistan 2 each home and away. 97 is the only series he averaged over 25. Something was different, the man wasn't remotely fit.

Just so we're clear, I already said it's a toss up between Imran, Ambrose, Lillee and Donald for the top 5 spot on my bowling list.

Ok. You seem more flexible on this now than before if I can say. I also see it as close between Ambrose and Imran for no.5.

We don't have to argue further. I appreciate that at least at certain points you showed a willingness to make some concessions.

(18 Players Squad plays 5 Test Series in South Asia and West Indies) Name the Other 7 Players in the Sqaud for both the Teams who can replace this 11 if required in the middle of the Series ?
The Advantage South Asian Team has is there are Batsman upto No 9.

Brother I was always flexible I just enjoy fcking with you. Remember that's what we do. No hard feelings. Nothing wrong with some good natured respectful banter.

Wi has to be a squad since we have less resources than Asia. If I had to choose an Asian XI I'd go:


Saeed
Sunil
Dravid
Sachin
Sanga
Pant+
Imran*
Ash
Wasim
Bumrah
Murali

Vs WI

Hunte
Greenidge
Headley
Viv*
Lara
Sobers
Dujon+
Marshall
Garner
Holding
Ambrose

For games in Asia:

Greenidge
Fredricks
Viv*
Kallicharran
Lloyd
Sobers
Walcott+
Marshall
Holding
Gibbs
Walsh

I would let Sangakkara keep shoehorn in Miandad in there. Also don't particularly rate Anwar that highly. Will take one of Sehwag, Merchant or Hanif. And Jadeja for Ashwin for variety

Anwar and Pant are definitely not making it. Sanga was definitely a better keeper than Pant (better batter while keeping too).

If it's not Test-only, I'd take Merchant. Otherwise I'm taking Sehwag.

West Indies has enough resources to have an 18 members squad. Sehwag can be a good choice against West Indies than Anwar.
