And Harper is basically a Sobers level spinner. He also primarily played on spin friendly pitches.Well Roger Harper wasn’t Gibbs and these stats are meaningless without context but just for fun.

Also, as a batman, who would you prefer to face?
Part of what made the WI a fearsome force to face was the consistent pressure of knowing that the onslaught was never ending. Marshall and Holding came off, it was then Garner and Walsh, or who ever made up the squad at the time. Croft and Garner must have been a treat to face as first and second change.
Then there's Warne, who I believe would be the Australia bowler most likely to be the weak spot. He was less than great vs great or even really good opposition, he would be the one most likely to be attacked or even taken apart.
