Hutton is in both of the 1st 2 teams. Put Sutcliffe in the 1st one.
Bradman's team would win.

Underwood instead of Qadir.

Some may question Richards and Procter. If they are in I'd also add G Pollock at 5 for Border. If South Africans haven't played enough keep Border and pick Boycott for B Richards and Botham for Procter so 6) Botham, 7) Imran, 8) Knott 9) Hadlee...

Qadir averaged 47.6 away from Pakistan.
Underwood averaged 27.4 away from England.
With Marshall, Hadlee, and Imran leading the attack a spinner who can keep things tight and give them a rest is also great. Underwood would be great for that.

Nice one I will go with Underwood but what if I select players who played like Botham or Kapil instead of Procter
