90s SA vs Kohlis India vs 2000s England

[subshakerz]

They did, though Aus was missing McGrath. At peak all decent pacers though Jones will break down and they lack a leader. Over the 10 matches, think their bowling will turn out to be the worst.

If Jones breaks down, sure. I am assuming him fit for both series.

should've done 2011 England

Nah I hate that side.

Still don't think the English attack is really as good as India or SA, even at peak.

Jones and Flintoff were worldclass then. Harmison was capable of runaway spells too.

But maybe SA and India are slightly better.

 

[Johan]

Nah I hate that side.

why

 

[subshakerz]

why

I think they are inferior to the 2005 side IMO and had a soft underbelly. I also didn't Iike the way they were championed in the English press only to be whitewashed by Pakistan and soundly beaten by SA at home.

 

[Migara]

I will not play Symcox against India. I'd rathe play Fanie DeViliiers.

 

[Migara]

India because of prime Kohli's agressive captaincy.

Conje can match that every way.

 

[Migara]

That SSF pace attack of Donald / Pollock / DeVillers is bloody awesome. When Klusenr and Kallis are back up, and you can get Big Mac too iin there, it is a complete bowling jaggernaut. It is as good as the WI pace attack of 80s

 

[Fuller Pilch]

SA would be favourites with India 2nd

England would need some Harmison's 7/12 spells and would ideally be able to pick Thorpe

You mean for the 2 matches the 3 played together?

Klusener averaged 38 in tests, so he's not really a good backup.

 

[subshakerz]

Here is how I see it going down:

SA vs India: SA 3-1, thanks to more consistency from their batting but each win is hard fought.

SA vs Eng: 2-2, England manage to pull above their weight as SA choke when faced with an opportunity to win the series.

India vs Eng: India 2-1, England weakness against spin and the slower wickets hamper their pace attack.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I'd back the NZ WTC winning side to beat both England and India over 5 tests in the Windies, but lose to SA.

Conway
Latham
Williamson (c)
Taylor
Nicholls
Watling (wk)
De Grandhomme
Jamieson
Southee
Wagner
Boult

Wider squad: Young, Mitchell, Blundell, Santner, Henry, Ajaz, Rachin

England beats them on those WI wickets IMO thanks to reverse.

Southee was great at reverse and Wagner very good. Ajaz would come in for Boult in a couple of tests and destroy England.

I back Englands unit Flintoff and Jones were regularly bowling 90MPH with reverse.

Just like that famed Marshall, Holding, Garner and Roerts attack.

However the OP doesn't conaider the twmporal factor. Kallis started in very late 90s and so was Klusener and Pollock. Their peaks didn't coincide with Cronje or Cullinan.
