Randall will be on shortly to reminisce about how good the West Indies were in the 80s.

Aussie team late 90s early 00s is the only team that could be put in the mix. It would have been a great series between the two. Played in English conditions, would slightly favour the West Indies, but it’s certainly not a given they would win.

Better to consider it in Australian or West Indies conditions
The latter of which good luck

I think the home team would be favourite in either series. If I had to pick a mixed West Indies side from the 80s against the Aussies from late 90s early 00s that’s a tough one.
