You have to choose two bowlers to win you a match or series in any (random) condition, country and vs any opponent. Which two or three gives you the best opportunities to be successful?

Of all of them don't you think that some of them have proven themselves in more conditions and we're more reliable match winners home and away?

It's not all conjecture.

Marshall and Hadlee.
