Steve Smith bowling to Steve Smith

Imran Bowler vs Imran Batsman- winner would be Imran Bowler

Botham Bowler vs Botham Batsman- batsman, just

Faulkner vs Faulkner- pretty even (both Aubrey and James)

Hadlee Bowler vs Hadlee Batsman- bowler

Miller vs Miller- even

Kapil vs Kapil- perhaps controversially, I think batsman, just

Kallis vs Kallis- batsman

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Wasim Akram to bowl ones that swing in and out before it reaches the batsman
Keith Miller to bowl his random fast/off spin/slow/bumper change ups

Sir Jack Hobbs to face and play in his aggressive mode
Sachin to play at his ODI mode best

Is that even possible? The only known example, is where it went in due to the angle and then swung out. But I don't know if pure inswing and outwing is possible in the same delivery.

I think that Ryan Harris's delivery to Alistair Cook did this. It looks to me that it swings in a little, bounces, then swings away a little before it hit the stumps
