State Vice-Captain
For me
Viv vs warne- viv retired in 1991 while warne debuted few months later in 92 if warne got picked aussie sqaud that toured wi in 91 maybe we could have seen legendary dual for ages between maste blaster vs king of spin
Lara vs ashwin- lara retired in 2007 while ashwin debuted in 11. It would have been great tussle to see master batter of spin take on great exponet of off spin esp to left handers in india and wi
Peak sachin vs peak imran- through sachin debuted vs imran s pakistan it would have been great battle between two atgs
Ponting vs bumrah- one of greatest players of fast bowling vs one of most skillful bowlers ever
Gavaskar vs waqar- gavaskar retired in 87 and waqar debuted in 89. Great matchup between one of the greatest openers of all time vs one best new ball bowler who bowled banana swing

International Vice-Captain
Geoff Boycott with a modern super bat (and with 1970s umpires, and no DRS) v any modern bowler (on a flat pitch).

Would he block-punch his way to a zero risk run-a-ball double century? Or would he by a myth?

Patience and Accuracy+Gut

State Vice-Captain
S.F Barnes against Steve Smith or any of the other 3 of the Fab 4.

Also my guy O’Reilly to bowl against that Indian batting lineup of Sehwag, Dravid, Sachin, Laxman etc. that slaughtered Warne and Murali. Just for O’Reilly> Warne, Murali etc. to be consensus.

Some statistical liberties taken there, no doubt. Although I admit my 1000 years was pessimistic.

No no, I was totally serious. A statistician did a statistical analysis and came to the conclusion it will take 200K years for another statistical anomaly like Don to occur.
