Your current World XI bowling attack

[Xuhaib]

If you go with a 3/1 combo

Steyn
Philander
Anderson
Ajmal/Swann

If its a sub cone like track then a 2-2 would suffice

Steyn
Anderson
Swann/Ajmal
Herath/Rehman

 

[Xuhaib]

wtf is a Woirld XI?

Never make threads while at work

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I'd go along with those attacks, Philander as yet unproven in sub con so Jimmy would get nod over him for now at least.

 

[morgieb]

Steyn, Philander, Anderson, Swann.

Ishant Sharma

Tanvir Ahmed can play the spinner role.

Steyn, Philander, Anderson, Swann.

I was still on the "I'd rather have Swann if I had to play a series in every country" train until a week ago too but with Ajmal doing his stuff in South Africa too now, I reckon I'm sadly going to have to finally give in to the Ajmal > Swann group.

If I'm picking two spinners though then I'm picking Swann. I don't care if he turns it the same way as Ajmal; he's still miles ahead of all the left arm spinners AFAIC.

So that means:

Steyn
Anderson
Ajmal
Philander / Swann depending on conditions

So you now agree that Swann is the 2nd best spinner in the world. Something that you got me banned for you ****

I don't want to get in a moderation debate in here, but you got that infraction for trolling regarding it, not for your opinion. The same thing would happen right now if you did the same thing again.

I don't want to get into that pathetic piece of moderation either but this thread is the right place to say Ajmal > Swann because teams need to be selected.

Ajmal > Swann

Did you use the same smiley when people here first agreed to Imran > Miller?

 

[Xuhaib]

can't see how people would go for Jimmy over Vernon unless its a sub cont track. Anderson is basically Steyn lite imo Philander will offer something different.

Well if the track justifies two spinners, it's going to suit Anderson more than Philander. If it doesn't justify two spinners then you're just playing both anyway. Can't imagine a situation where you'd have to choose between them without it being a subcontinent track tbh.

But nobody's ever actually agreed to that seriously
