Which ATG bats and bowlers would have notably different records if they served in a different team

Gilchrist debuts at least 4 years earlier and ends up averaging 50+. Causes a riot if he’s playing for certain countries and walks during an important match.
No he was only a walker because he was brought up in the moral utopia of Australia

Steve Waugh plays for England, has a big early series and is propped up at no.3 and told is the next big thing, ends up averaging in the 30s

If Courtney Walsh played for any other team he'd probably have far better career numbers. He got stuck as the "into the wind bowler". Did it for Marshall and because he was so good at it he ended up keeping the role for Ambrose.

Put him in almost any other team during his career and he'd have been their main bowler at some point, Probably ends up in the ATG XI for a lot of teams.

Even as is he makes it into most others besides Aus/SA/Pak
He could make it into the SA team. Might come down to choosing between him and Donald. Or dispense Pollocks batting and go with Walsh.

Makes it into the Pak team for me as part of a 4 prong pace attack (Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Walsh) . They'd complement each other perfectly.

Aus probably not, unless going with a more modern team. The choice would be between him and Cummins then.

Those are two extremely random names.
Ashwin and Philander I think are the very best in recent history of the game at utilizing contrasting bowling friendly conditions. They get **** on for that, but I'm just sort of flipping the scenario to highlight their strength instead of the weakness, which if they happened to play on the same team would be significantly helpful for both of them.
