In a previous episode, we selected the greatest-ever Test bowling attacks from Pakistan and a Best of the Rest team made up of players from Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh! Now, it’s time to put those attacks to the test.

In this episode, we simulate a head-to-head clash in India, breaking down who would actually come out on top when conditions, pressure, and numbers really matter.

We dive deep into the data — comparing combined bowling averages, strike rates, economy rates, and total wickets— before layering in context around Indian pitches, match situations, and how these attacks would function as a unit.

This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about evidence, balance, and suitability.

So which talented attack takes 20 wickets in India? Who controls the game across five days? And which bowlers become the real difference makers?

A proper cricket debate — backed by numbers, experience, and a bit of imagination.

If you enjoy the episode, it would mean the world if you left us a 5★ review and shared it with someone who loves their cricket as much as we do!

All the best, Wrighty & Barks @lifeofchriswright • @k13bkr • @thebowlersunion
