as well think Lindwall should be at 8 for Keith, but you rate quite highly while can't say so for the other, at all
on the matter of Miller and Lindwall, let's be real, whoever we pick is gonna be the first change or second change bowler, the third pacer and the fourth bowler in general. Lillee and Warne are both work horses, so it's genuinely unlikely the fourth bowler would bowl much, and the difference between Miller and Lindwall is a very slight skill gap and an relevant workload gap but I don't think the latter would play too much factor given their role. Lindwall has no real experience not opening the bowling while Miller has 38 @ 19.68, is a far greater fielder afaik and is quite literally twice the batter so it was a no brainer for me.

Averages 46.68 at number 3, only somewhat less than his number 4 average, plus only really started #3 in 50s so bowler friendly era. also, is described very much like Trumper, quick footwork tough-wicket batter, think he'll do well.
Either way he’d average more than Trumper as an opener.

Slightly. Bill averages 20 with the bat in Australia and has a 50 (nah his batting is non factor, but not infinitely worse than Warne, enough to be a big factor).
Think you got that other way round. Tiger averages 21 away from home and 7.65 in Australia. Must be one of the confusing stats I have seen. Overall average of almost 13 is decentish I think.

Agreed.

Warne, he's top 10 for me.

If Smith can get a 2nd peak and cut out the drops, then a swap isn't outside of the realm of possibility.
