After considerable thought..............i have listed what i reckon is a very impressive bowling attack....
I listed only players that i have witnessed....

1/ the great Dennis Lillee..
2/ Richard Hadlee......(hate to admit it)
3/ Big Bird Joel Garner
4/ Shane Warne........

and we could throw in Imram Khan (as the allrounder)

not a bad line up for any Dream Team...............
Your thought and suggestions Ladies & Gentleman????

Good evans! You've got two all rounders in there. My five would be

Lillee (the best fast bowler I have seen)
Hadlee (the best bowler of all the great 80's all rounders)
Holding (tough call but I'd rate Holding ahead of Roberts, Garner and Ambrose the next candidates)
Marshall (But I'd rate Marshall as the best of the lot. That's what Border reckons and that's good enough for me)
Warne (the best spinner I have seen)

I'd go for:-

McGrath
Hadlee
Marshall
Akram
Warne

Mine


Lillee
Marshall
Holding
Waquar Younis
Warne

Akram
McGrath
Donald
Murali
Warne

Kapil Dev
Sir Richard Hadlee
(Sir) Shane Warne
Dennis Lillee
(Sir) Glenn McGrath

And with Viv Richards and AB in the team, there's two more spin options...

Fair dinkum locky Waquar Younis?? If you are going to include a Paki at least make it Imran or Wasim Akram.

Mike Whitney
Gladstone Small
Phillip DeFreitas
Ian Harvey
Richard Dawson (worst spin bowler ever)

He's the guy Steve Waugh hit for four to bring up THAT hundred at the SCG...
Test bowling average of about 50...

Just my opinion, I actually rate him slightly higher than Akram as a bowler and I didn't really see alot of Imran to make a judgement


and the correct pronounciation is Pakistani not that other horrible word you used

Yes my apologies, i vaguely remember him now, looked him up on google for confirmation.

Lillee
Roberts
Holding
Hadlee
Warne

Scott Muller
Ashley Giles
Max Walker
Kerry O'Keefe
Gladstone Small

Pretty rough comparing Maz Walker


to Scott Muller

True, I guess after the 12th man tapes you just can't take his cricketing achievements seriously....

Lillee
Holding
Akram
Hadlee
Warne

Marshall - genius and deadly
Ambrose - bounce anywhere
Akram - left-armer for the variety
McGrath - took wickets everywhere, including the sub-continent, unlike most
Warne - didn't throw

Akram is batting at 7, because we've got Gilchrist at 6. But my first five is Sutcliffe, Hayden, Bradman, Lara and Ponting, so I feel good generally about our chances against most teams.

Quickly on the Max Walker/Scott Muller stats, the most damning one would be that Walker played 105 more games in a career only 4 years longer...
