Thank you someone has gotten into tradeoff. My answers:

No. Viv suited that team vibe more.

Yes because of Kallis bowling.

Hmm no because Mac was a steady bat and there were better bowling options than Razzaq

Easily for Flower

I think it would be hard for WI to replace a leader of their attack unless Garner and Holding were around.

You have to remember that Tendulkar also will be one of the better spinners in the Carribean too. They had to resort to average players like Hooper, Arthurton, Gomes and Harper for spin.

Viv spinned it too. It's just that Viv's batting style was so essential to making WI feared.

Viv was average part time. Sachin was one of the best ever part timers. If he was in a team which dominated seam, would have bowled way more spin. Man can bowl off breaks, leg breaks and googlies too.

Honestly dealing with ATG bats I don't think part time bowling is a game changer

That is when we consider players individually. Here we are looking at a perspective of a team. So players covering deficiencies of a given team, may be selected over a better player who has replacements.

In my view they'd take Sachin for Viv, and Warne for Marshall. Because both of these are replaceable with similar players, albeit being not as good. But WI won't find a better spin bowling batsman as good as Tendulkar, or a Spinner even close to Warne. Marshall had replacements. Sylvester Clarke, Tony Gary, Franklyn Stevenson, Ezra Moseley all were good. Walsh would have played way more tests. Garner would have retired later.

Lloyd doesn't seem the type to weigh in part time spin heavily, it was basically to get the job done between overs of pace.

And Sachin was a much more conventional bat whereas Viv was the type to really lead from the frontal assault. In my mind, Lloyd selects Viv because he knows he has the fear factor and can afford slightly less consistent runs with Viv with such a strong lineup.

Marshall yes I can see replaced over Warne when WI had Garner and Holding. Not so much with Walsh and Patterson.

Warne for Marshall is not really that unpopular

Marshall is the greatest fast bowler ever but WestIndies has multiple options for a fast bowlers then

They arent going for Marshall if the alternative are Walsh and Patterson. Yes if it's Holding and Garner.

Well yeah it says 80’s… we talking early 80’s or post 87 (Garner and Holding’s retirement)
