Would you play Keith Miller in your Australia ATG XI?

How can YOU be so confident on Marshall, Ambrose and Holding over Don himself???

No I think Don will score well above the others. I don't think the others in your lineup are as likely to succeed against sustained pace, except Border.

Whereas I am relatively confident that the WI middle order will be routinely delivering.

Can you imagine having to face Sobers and Walcott coming at 6 and 7?

Who Smith?? And Trumper??? And Gilchrist at 7??

Walcott have to keep, mind you. His output will be lower the Gilchrist, that's the dark reason we pick Gilly in our AT XIs, not Walcott.

Smith yes versus a raging Ambrose and Holding in Aus I question his overall output. Trumper also is a questionmark.

Gilly ain't scoring more than cameos unless its a road. Walcott is outscoring Gilly as he can handle a reduced load having to bat at no.7. Gilly is still a better keeper though for a longer period which is why we put him in ATG XIs.

Which is pretty good. Look its neither here nor there. If its a fast pitch you don't play the extra spinner. It's close but WI have an edge early on. If its a dry road then you play the extra spinner. At that point it's advantage Australia.

As long as we acknowledge that WI have the bowling advantage on pace friendly wickets in an Aus series.

How would you fix the Aussie pace lineup? Surely replacing O'Reilly by Lillee isn't doing that, as WI attack would still be better. Are you gonna play Davidson in place of Miller?

Aus XI:

Simpson
Hayden
Bradman
Smith
Waugh
Border (c)
Gilchrist+
Davidson
Warne
Lillee
McGrath

Best middle order ever and if Lillee, McGrath, Warne and Davidson can't take the wickets, Miller isn't going to help much as a 4th pace bowler and the match is headed for a draw anyway. Waugh and Border can handle some part time overs if necessary.

Probably need to play six day tests with this side.

My ideal Aus lineup has Miller, Warne, Lillee, McGrath at 8, 9, 10 and 11.

They still are behind the WI pace attack but with Miller at 8 they can afford to have Chappell in the batting middle order and a much better balanced batting lineup.

They would have to beat WI based on sheer batting strength.
