Hayden will do Great in Australia and India and probably WI as well given the pitch is flat

Which team would win

- Start date
Johan
International Captain
Ok give me your all time Australian XI minus Bradman

International Coach
Border captain?
Johan
International Captain
I'd go with
Worrell (C)
Greenidge
Headley
Viv
Lara
Sobers
Walcott (WK)
Marshall
Ambrose
Garner
Holding
I'd favour this team in England/South Africa/West Indies while giving Australia the edge in Australia/India.

In this line-up definitely
capt_Luffy
International Coach
Yeah that's fair. Then you add Bradman ......
Johan
International Captain
I conceded Bradman amp Australia wins everywhere, tho I'm not really sure about India, maybe Warne would win them on a current Indian style pitch but on a 2000s India pitch...

If it's a tour, I believe they take a squad. Warne-O'Reilly in any Indian pitch KO
Johan
International Captain
I don't generally think about squads, tho yeah, if it's Warne or O Reilly on an Indian fast turner, that's GG, but if it's just Warne, such a GOATed lineup against spin combined with my personal belief that Marshall and Holding would be more penetrative than Lillee and McGrath on an Indian pitch

Fair though I think Warne will click really.
Johan
International Captain
Tbf 2000s Indian pitches had some flatness to them, especially first three days

Fast bowlers win test matches. Most of those pitches favor fast bowling.
Most of the WI batting has had success vs those bowlers, besides Waugh and Chappell, none has had success vs this level of bowling attack. And Chappell was spotty at best.
Warne struggled vs quality batsmen and would be the weak link in this bowling attack which also lacks depth. Miller as your 3rd bowler with no real option as a 5th is a big gamble.
Bradman never faced pitches like those, far less bowlers.
So for the persons sat 3 - 1 Australia, I don't remotely see it.
West Indies 3 - 2 or 2 - 2 with a draw.

They did, but on the long run majority of pitches were Turner.
Now.... TBT, Eden isn't a typical Indian turner. It's one of the relative swing friendly ones.
Johan
International Captain
Marshall running riots
capt_Luffy
International Coach
Aussies have a McGrath
Johan
International Captain
The Windies lineup is ridiculously GOATed against swing
capt_Luffy
International Coach
Aussies have a Bradman
Johan
International Captain
WTF Luffy!!! the discussion is without Bradman
capt_Luffy

Yeah then WI is winning that one.
