It’s very black and white and little challenging. I will come up with something however against pace on a true bounce pitch in Australia Sehwag and Laxman get in but with bounce and lateral movement in SA their roles might be a little doubtful. I put J.Amarnath in Sa because the Sa pace battery is the closest to WI these days with their short pitch bowling. Aus too but they play on more docile pitches. Swing conditions make it a different beast. I would pick Kohli in every condition but still given the greats we have had, Kohli is still a doubtful starter in England. Even though he made amends in the last tour. Still not totally convinced to put him in an ATG X1 in English conditions. Link to comment
