India and Pakistan all had good teams during that time. They were on the level of what New Zelanad and West Indies were during Australias dominance and Sri Lanka wasn't the best test side during the 90s.

West Indies domination had ended by by the 90's.India and Pakistan did'nt have enough good teams that time.India just had quite of spin bowling but fast bowling for India that time was just crap.

Just going back to the last page, you cannot possibly say that Hayden's bat in 2003 is equal to the ones in the 1980s. More research is done into the bats now, to get the maxium strength but make it light.
Fair enough, you could possibly say that Hayden's bat in 03 and the ones used in the 1980s and 90s were as strong as each other, but I am nearly 100% sure that the ones in the 80s and 90s were a lot heavier, and thus, harder to use?
But to be hoenst this entire thread is useless. Unless we have some imaginary game in our minds with the old WI greats in their prime and the Australians in their prime playing against each other... then well that will be one hell of a series.

I suggest you look into the history of WI cricket a little better.

I dont think Windies would be able to beat Australia. It's because Windies put pretty much no money into cricket and Australia spend a lot of money. Just the sheer training and the coaching and everything I just dont think Windies would be able to compete. The teams weren't as good back then either. Thats my opinion so dont bother arguing. I just wish the West Indies were able to come back and Mcgrath, Warne and Gilchrist came back. We need an anti ageing pill!
