Who will win in test cricket?1970-1994 XI or 1995-2020 XI?

[Harsh Thakor]

I am pitting a 1970-94 world test XI against a 1995-2020 world test XI

1970-1994 XI

Barry Richards
Sunil Gavaskar
Viv Richards
Greg Chappell
Javed Miandad
Gary Sobers /Ian Botham
Alan Knott (w)
Imran Khan (c)
Malcolm Marshall
Dennis Lillee
Abdul Qadir






1995-2020 XI

Tendulkar
Gilchrist (w)
Ponting (c)
Lara
Steve Smith
Kallis
Shaun Pollock /Andrew Flintoff
Warne
Wasim
Steyn/Ambrose
Mcgrath


The contest would be at a razors edge with both sides so evenly poised.1970-94 team has better and more all-round cricketers while 1995-20 team has a marginally more skilled or versatile bowling attack.The batting strength is virtually on par .With a gun on my head I would choose 1995-2020 team by a whisker with better athletic standards in modern era and superior scoring rate.Match-winning prowess of Warne and Gilchrist could give their side an edge and the flair of Lara and Wasim.The clash of Kallis v Sobers would be fascinating as well as Qadir V Warne or Viv v Lara.

What kind of world xi is this? Tendulkar and Gilly opening? World xi or any xi should mostly have players batting at their successful batting position only or at max one up/down.
