Genuine question. How is that different from every modern player? They all bowl to worse batsmen than Sachin and Viv, and bat against much worse bowlers than McGrath annd Ambrose.
His average as a bowler is better or as good than most modern "great" bowlers, and his average with the bat is very respectable. Who would be a better all rounder in cricket today?
What makes, say Shane Watson that much better?
An example of modern players getting a raw deal? I'm not sure, since I do that a lot myself.
@prath92 rates him a lot
