This.A prime Chanderpaul, would be so helpful for likes of Hope at 4 and Chase or Hetmyer at 6 to be able to bat alongside him
If you could pick one retired player from your country to return for your current team who would you choose? (Not including bradman.)
I would go for boycott, Hobbs and Hutton may well have been better but too far before my time to judge them.
...Obviously the Don.
But if we restrict it to living players, Warne fills the biggest hole in Australia right now. Not that Lyon is bad but Warne is another level. Imagine an attack of Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Warne. Nowhere to hide.
nah bad call. Obviously Warne is a lot better than Lyon but Lyon does a good enough job that you'd get more benefit from another proper batsman than replacing Lyon with Warne.Obviously the Don.

I think picking a bowler for Australia is silly. The improvement you'd get from Warne over Lyon isn't anywhere near as big as the improvement you'd get from Chappell (or Ponting or Border or whoever you think the next bat Aussie bat is) over Wade.Obviously the Don.
