I wouldnt accept your statement that your bowling attack is weaker than mine, just for the sake that I have Imran. Sobers can double up both as a pace bowler and a spinner, and he can provide more than an adequate back up for the other 4. When you got Holding, Lillee, Akram and Murali, what difference is it gonna make who the fifth bowler is?
Which brings us to the other statement you made that my batting is weaker. Lets just analyse that a little bit. You have Gavaskar, Taylor, Richards, Sachin, Lara, Sobers, Gilli and Akram, considering his batting abilities are very underrated.
Why is my line up weaker than this?
You are probably saying this because of my middle order, consisting of Border, Dravid,Sangakkara, Imran who wouldnt be on par with your line up ( come on man, who can rival Viv, Sach and Brian) but i wouldnt call them weak.
I am thinking of posting an all time one day XI.....

When I say weak, we are only talking relative weakness here. Its true that with Akram, Holding, Lilee and Murali, I really dont need a fifth bowler, but I still feel you need a good back up when all of them have an off day (however unlikely that is) - Ofcourse Sobers will do an adequate job but I like the balance in your bowling line up more.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's nothing wrong in your batting line up except that it is being compared to mine. You answered it yourself - Who can rival, Viv, Sachin, Brian and Gary!
