The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

The normal awards that everyone else has
The thread comparing the three Indian quicks made me wonder how many ATG quicks each nation has had.
WI: Marshall, Ambrose, Garner, Roberts, Holding, Hall, Walsh
Aus: McGrath, Lillee, Cummins, Lindwall, Davidson
Eng: Trueman
Pak: Imran, Wasim, Waqar
NZ: Hadlee
SA: Steyn, Donald, Pollock, Procter
Ind: Kapil
I haven’t included earlier era guys but obviously there’s Barnes, Spofforth, Turner and Richardson to consider, but they’re also harder to compare/judge.
My criteria for “ATG” is basically that any of these guys could contend for a place in any nation’s all time XI (including the strongest ones) without it seeming ridiculous. Hence guys like Anderson don’t quite make it. Bumrah and Rabada are probably close.
Thoughts?

Is Kapil there as an all time great bowler or all rounder? I wouldn't put him in the category just on his bowling. If Kapil is included, Botham needs to be too.

Yeah Kapil and Hall should not be there. Assuming this is just tests, neither should Procter.

If Kapil is an ATG bowler then so are at least 30-40 others you have to mentioned

Anderson makes the weaker ones but none of the elites. makes India, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. Maybe England but couldn't feel hard done by if he is left out in favour of any of Trueman, Barnes, Bedser, Statham, Willis or Snow.
