hmmmmm ......
Exclude current injuries to Warne and Gillespie, and I think our bowlers (mcgrath,Lee, warne and gillespie) would be a very close match to the likes of malcolm marshall, garner,holding and roger harper.
Gilchrist is just as good a keeper batsman as what Dujon was, if not better.
The batting may not have the power and flair of the likes of Clive Lloyd & Viv Richards, but Steve waugh is man of steel, and Justin langer would be the match of Larry Gomes.
Maybe our opening pair (slater & whoever else is in there) dont have the same authority as greenidge and haynes, but ponting can be just as devastating as richie richards, plus hes better in the field.
its an interesting question i reckon.
Id like to make a case for us, but I think it'd be really close.
what do yez reckon ????
