Who do you pick as a better test bowler between Hazlewood and Philander? If you were picking a world xi, which guy would make your team and why?
 
Philander, has done it everywhere & been more consistent over a longer time frame, bats better as well ~ if that counts.
 
Hazlewood is probably more consistent and more suited to flatter decks with his surprising pace.
Philander is a match-winner though on his day especially if there is some nibble. Choose him for sub-50 demolition jobs :)
Both are world-class though and underestimated compared to their flashier bowling partners (Starc, Steyn, Rabada, Cummins)
 
Favourable conditions World XI attack:

Anderson
Philander
Broad

Unfavourable conditions World XI attack:

Starc
Hazlewood
Rabada
