Lets Discuss

 

[Rana]

If you remove one pacer to add McGrath into the 90s XI

I think they will win. McGrath+Warne combo alone is deadly.

Which pacer would I remove? Maybe the white lightning Alan Donald. Ambrose fear is there for intimidation.

 

[emranabbas]

I find it quite ridiculous when people try to compare players from different eras. The game has changed and evolved so much over the years, from playing conditions and formats to advancements in technology, fitness, and strategy. You just can’t make direct comparisons because the challenges and demands players faced in one era are entirely different from those in another.

That’s why I can’t help but laugh when people argue that Mohammad Rizwan is better than Sachin Tendulkar or brian lara, purely based on stats like batting averages.

Yeah but still bowling looks better than B

The eras in white ball cricket are different but Test cricket is the purest form bro. I like this thread tbh very interesting

 

[DeadlyVenom]

oh this is tough


Lets go man for man keeping the order the same as in the graphic for simplicity

Cook > Taylor
Warner > Slater
Kane < Lara
Kohli > Sachin
Root > Aravinda
Smith > Waugh
AB > Stewart
Ashwin < Wasim
Broad < Warne
Steyn > Donald
Jimmy < Curtly

It is too tough to call - new players are better bat but inferior bowlers.

The game has evolved a lot to have a direct comparison you are right.

Still its quite interesting.

Nobody who is serious can argue Rizwan > Lara no matter the differences in era.

Depends on conditions. Peak Steyn might be the best all conditions whereas Broad and Anderson depend a lot on particular conditions to suit them in order for them to be deadly.

Team A has solid bowlers who will pose a threat in all conditions. Warne was a great bowler on Australian phattas too. He wasn’t just a guy who depended on the pitch to wear out as the game progresses. He was the game himself. There were great batters in his era to counter him, and that’s what makes them the elite batters. They are in his team.

[Vikram1989]

I will try to consider swot analysis

Team A

Strength
Warne
Akram
Ambrose
Lara
Sachin


Captiancy Warne/Taylor will outwit the opposition completely

Bowling is much more rounded with proper Atg or tier 2 bowlers.

Weekness
Openers, Stewart and Desilva(Away avg is less even against ind)

Team B

Strength
Cook
Kohli
Smith
Ab
Weekness. bowling is not great standard
Captiancy options are not as good as team A.
Warner, Kane ,Root never scored against good opponents
Obvious weakness of smith (bouncers ) and kohlis off stump/left arm Can be taken care by ambrose or akram .

I will go with team a as they can defend and survive on tough pitches too

 

[Double Trouble]

Depends on the venue.

Team A is a lethal side in most conditions.

Team B with clouderson & b-road in the UK will do well

For me Team A clear favourites

What if 1st in Ind,2nd in Aus,3rd in Eng,4th in WI and 5th in SL

 

[Vikram1989]

What if 1st in Ind,2nd in Aus,3rd in Eng,4th in WI and 5th in SL

Warne will make team b to sweep floors anywhere in sub continent. If its eng, Akram and Ambrose will do it.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Team A, but even team A isn't perfect how come slater made into it.

 

[RidiculousMan]

90s easily. Virat and Broad aren't as good and perhaps liabilities even in certain conditions. There are other players of 2000s that have been better

 

[RidiculousMan]

oh this is tough


Lets go man for man keeping the order the same as in the graphic for simplicity

Cook > Taylor
Warner > Slater
Kane < Lara

Root > Aravinda
Smith > Waugh

Ashwin < Wasim
Broad < Warne
Steyn > Donald
Jimmy < Curtly

It is too tough to call - new players are better bat but inferior bowlers.

Kohli > Sachin in Test Cricket?

I stopped right there. You must be out of your sense to say that.

 

[sweep_shot]

Team A definitely.

Better quality.

Typo?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Alec Stewart and Slater bring down the quality of no.1 instantly lol Mark Taylor is alright. Batting is too strong for B. Bowling is too strong for A. Warne will be the X factor for sure.

 

[wrongun]

Knew my answer once I saw that 90s bowling attack.

Warne, Wasim, Donald, Curtly. You would need 3 Bradmans in the opposition lineup.

 

[Varun]

Cook and Warner opening don't give too much confidence at all.

 

[Fanboy375]

Kohli > Sachin in Test Cricket?

I stopped right there. You must be out of your sense to say that.

He could mean 2010s Kohli but still that can't rival 90s prime Sachin

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is a good chance match will end in draw with this.

 

[Buffet]

Donald, Ambrose, Wasim and Warne > Anderson + Broad + Ashwin + Steyn

Anderson+Broad both being there makes the bowling weaker in many conditions outside of Eng.
Batting has less gap one way or another.

Relatively, bowlers win tests more often than batsmen, I think a massive gap in bowling is a disadvantage Now if you limit the venue to Eng, then gap is not wide. Even then only Wasim avg in Eng is 28-29. Donald, Warne, Ambrose avg 20-24 in Eng with lots of 5-fers. They will outperform anything Anderson/Broad can offer in their home grounds.



Over all it's team A.

In Eng, a closer conest.



-------------------------------------

Just for bowlers to show how much Anderson/Broad will weaken the team.

You can't rely on only two bowlers, Steyn and Ashwin, to do all the job outside of Eng.

Outside Eng:

 

[Kianig89]

Cook had problems with left arm swing , Waz would love it 90s Team definitely better

 

[Farabi]

Between these two teams (A consists of 90s players and B consists of 2010s players), which side could win a Test series against the other?

View attachment 149503

Lets Discuss

First of all McGrath is missing. This i ridiculous. If you add that guy into 90s, then I think Team A would win this 5 test match content because the bowling is stronger and test cricket is about taking 20 wickets.
Wasim Akram, Ambrose, McGrath, Warne.

 

[Van_Sri]

90s Team : 1) Anwar 2) Slater 3) Lara 4) Mark 5) Sachin 6) Steve* 7) Healy+ 8) Wasim 9) Warne 10) Ambrose 11) Donald.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Seriously? Team A will kill Team B

 

[Van_Sri]

First of all McGrath is missing. This i ridiculous. If you add that guy into 90s, then I think Team A would win this 5 test match content because the bowling is stronger and test cricket is about taking 20 wickets.
Wasim Akram, Ambrose, McGrath, Warne.

McGrath belongs to 2000s

 

[Major]

To be fair, this is match up between players who had long careers. This isnt the best line ups.

Cause their is no way the 2010 would have such a bowling attack.
