I think the batting line up should be relatively easy to pick. The bowling on the other hand.......

Mashall is a cert - One of the greatest fast bowlers ever, had everything.

Roberts - could bowl orthodox outswing or could blast batsman out.

Ambrose - Think Glenn McGrath then add 15%.

Holding - Genuinley fast, but pitched the ball up. Took wickets on dead pitches.

Garner - Tall accurate never gave a thing away. Also deceptively quick apparently Knott stood further back than anyone to Garner in WSC.

Walsh - Workhorse. Could bowl all day at good pace, got better with age.

Croft - Tall, quick and genuinley "nasty".

Thats not including the likes of Hall or some of the bowlers who only played a few matches like Sylvester Clarke or Wayne Daniel.

I dont think a Windies dream team need bother with a spinner as such, I'm sure the 4 quick men + Sobers would be more than enough.
