I'd only have one of those players in the "great category" as a batsmen, about what we're at now.

Considering who, when and where they played, I would have almost total certainty in saying that all 5 would average between 45-55 now.
Boon was rated the best in the world for a while between 92-94. Jones had a fantastically underrated test career and so did Taylor.
Jones had a very weak mental game?Disagree. Most of those guys played a fair bit of cricket against weaker opposition. Jones averaged 45 which is about the maximum he would average now. Jones had a very weak mental game anyway, wouldn't make a difference between then and now. Taylor was a gun as the total package but you are no doubt factoring in his firstclass captaincy, not just looking at his batting. Serviceable.

Are you copying my posts again.......Is that weak mental game highlighted by his double century when he pissed himself and vomited in India and had to be basically carried into the dressing room, or his double century against the West Indies at the height of their game?
Geez you're a hard marker.

Ok.See the West Indies reference mate - I've one-upped you again
+ wearing s**t sunglassesSurely Mark Waugh was a great? Triple threat of batting, bowling and fielding.

never made runs when we needed it aside from a few freek innings.
hit exactly 1 ton against the WI in 19 innings. Average 17 when the team lost, tended to be a bit of a down hill skier.
Cartwright is a batsman though. You can't really consider him an all-rounder.
Also, Bangladesh having a lot of left-handers will probably give more opportunities for Maxwell to bowl in tandem with Lyon than before.
Don't forget an unmatched ability to rock a popped collar.+ wearing s**t sunglasses
Bit early isn't it, announcing it the day before.We have announced our XI:
Steve Smith (c), David Warner, Matthew Renshaw, Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

Is SOK injured or just out of favour?
Is he in the Jon Holland discard pile?
I mean Dutchy ain't much chop at international level but Agar...c'mon
Smith won't bowl Maxwell even if it isTwo paceman, three spinners? Better be a raging turner.
