ZaheerShami's a bit sharp for that characterisation IMO.
Indian attack of:
7. Jadeja
8. Binny
9. Bhuvi
10. Praveen Kumar
11. Pankaj Singh
Could rival it IMO. 3 medium pacers, a spinner who may as well be a medium pacer, and Pankaj.
The other hilarious thing about that tour was how coach Glenn Turner stacked the NZ's batting in the ODI series along with dibbly-dobs. This 2nd ODI in particular with Shane Thomson at 9, Larsen 10 & Dion Nash 11 2nd ODI: West Indies v New Zealand at Port of Spain, Mar 29, 1996 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN CricinfoWent hunting through scorecards to find some gruesome dobbers and jesus christ this attack

They had Ambrose, Walsh, Bishop
We had Morrison, Larsen, Vaughan, Kennedy, Dipak, Harris
The best bit is they got the Windies out for 184 in the second dig because the only test standard bowler (well Larsen may have been but we'll never know) blitzed them.
Impossible numbersGavin Larsen - beyond anyone else, is the king of this role.
I think had he been selected to play more test cricket he'd probably have held an average of 30, probably around a 2.2 RPO and strike rate near 70 balls.
Ones plucked out of thin air, no less.Impossible numbers
