Which off these ATG XIs from different eras will win a tournament if they competed with each other?

2 Wins this for me hands down , even a alternative team here will do very well . However ill have Warne in for Murali and will change batting lineup with Kallis excluded to have a bit more balanced batting with only lara batting out of position and Waugh coming in at 5 (You can have ul-Haq or Ranatunga as well to fill same role ) batting option and a more ODI focused player. This era suffers from not having a specialist no 4 which means you have Lara , Kallis and Ponting all bidding for no 3 and ill much rather have Lara out of position than Kallis or Ponting thus Kallis moves out . You can also use Hayden as opener and move Tendulkar to 5 however that feels sacrilegious .

Agreed on era 2 however must admit that era is incredibly difficult to get balance on top order . You have Ponting at 4 however he batted 3 for 330 out of 365 innings and Jayasuriya at 3 however he opened 383 out of 433 innings . I had the same issue when looking at that eras batting , way to many great top order bats , openers and number 3s .
