I'd hope not, there are probably ten better Test match openers from Australia than Langer.

Between Australia and West Indies? You'd have to decide upon their respective alltime XI's before anything like that could happen.With all you whizz kids on computers would someone be clever enough to compute a Test match between the top two side mentioned..would be a fascinating result if it went to four innings. Come on someone must be smart

Give me two lineups and I'll sim it. I don't want to be the subject of argument over who I selected in each side at the present moment, so I'd prefer someone else to do that side of things.

Great match - Bradman tearing it up in the 1st Innings, Whispering Death getting the Windies back into it by cleaning up the lower order, the Aussie pace attack giving them a big lead, the WI pace attack shattering the Australian top order in a second innings held together by Miller and late order slogging from O'Reilly (
). Then Greenidge stepping up before Sobers played his inevitable part by guiding West Indies home in a great run chase.Already looking forward to the second Test.
EDIT - and if there IS going to be a second Test, let's mercilessly drop Morris after a double failure to bring in Hayden to see how he handles that pace attack.

Quick question, where did this hypothetical match take place? just curious. BTW good job that and i do expect Australia to come roaring back in the next test.

There is some simulator thing you can do, I can't remember the name of it though. Google would probably give you the answers tbh.

Good stuff EWS. Hayden should definitely replace Morris for the second test. Headley is in danger as well - Weekes a possibility perhaps? As for the venue, should we make this series at a neutral venue since we've already had a test? 1st test at Lord's ... thoughts?

Match should be included in the Battle of the Test Matches.
Hayden for Morris and Weekes for Headley. Maybe even Garner for Gibbs?

One game doesn't do anything. IMO as selectors, if we pick someone, we should back him for at least 4-5 Tests. Give him a fair chance.

i actually think we should pick a full 15 to 16 man squad for both teams. hers mine for the WI:
Hunte
Greenidge
Haynes
Richards
Headley
Lara
Weekes
Walcott+
Sobers
Dujon+
Marshall
Holding
Ambrose
GArner
Gibbs
Bishop
Not too sure what the OZ squad wood look like

Yeah, we should probably finalize the squads and start afresh, simulating a five-test series in Australia and one in the West Indies.
West Indies
Hunte, Greenidge, Haynes, Richards, Lara, Headley, Weekes, Sobers, Walcott+, Dujon+, Marshall, Holding, Ambrose, Garner, Roberts, Gibbs
