Since the mid to late 70’s there are two bowlers I would pick above all, to bowl for me if my life depended on it. Lillee is one, Warne is the other. For me, these are the guys who step up when the going gets tough and deliver. So on this basis it’s Lillee in , Alderman out.

To me it’s a simple choice. Out of all the bowlers I’ve seen play for Australia since the late 1970s, their are only two I would choose to bowl for me if my life depended on it. These two guys had the ability to step up to the crease and deliver when it most mattered, against all comers. I’m talking about Lillee and Warne. On this basis alone, I pick Lillee over Alderman everyday of the week.
Some might say McGrath had the same, bowl for your life ability. However, for me, as consistently excellent as he was, Lillee and Warne were made for the big moments.

I might be wrong, but I always was under the impression Wasim Bari was a top shelf keeper. For this reason I would choose him over Smith. For this team, up against the Windies of 84, I would choose the best pure keeper, as every chance needs to be taken.
