All of the trades functionally involve me trading batting for bowling. So of this grouping Murali/Ranatunga probably does that most effectively in all but the very most spin hostile conditions. So that's probably the only trade I'd consider in order to increase win chances (at the cost of batting runs on the board).

Lara the batter is better than Wasim the bowler. Guess Wasim's batting makes them equal, but nothing more. And Walsh is definitely (way) better than Inzy imo.
Lara is 3 or 4 levels above Inzi the bat, while Walsh is only one level below Wasim

Who are you to begin with? Because modern NZ having a very good bat and an ATG spinner is probably more useful than Bradman because our spin stock is relatively mid, while our pace bowling is relatively okay so Bradman + what we currently have seems better.

What about this pair?

Trumper/Flower (maybe I could include one of Gavaskar and Pant as well in place of Flower)
Trumper/Flower easily

(On a serious note, no. But Gavaskar in place of Flower might actually be a yes. In the same boat as Lara/Walsh. And like, do I rate Pant highly?? Could bet used to rate Dhoni higher even 6 months ago)

You've really disappointed me tbh, I thought you'd sacrifice Don for Trumper alone.
