The Great Australian side compared to the Talented and Incosistent Pakistan Side

because theres so much proof of that isnt there? and whatever way you wanna look at it, it doesnt change the fact that he was complete garbage and had about as close to 0 potential in either form of the game as we've ever seen.

No, he was not complete garbage in Tests, not the way he was in ODIs; he was just poor, whereas in ODIs he was disgracefully abysmal.

not really, you dont have to hit the ball in the air all the time, drive the full ball, cut the wide ball and pull the short ball and you'll be more than successful in ODI cricket. i certainly dont think a player like fleming is better at hitting the ball in the air or rotating the strike than vaughan. same goes with martyn and many other players.
regardeless both vaughan and slater are both capable of hitting the ball in the air and vaughan is more than capable of working it around for singles.

Funny how little he manages to do it, then? And how little he manages to improvise, and hit over the top outside the 15?
Watching Martyn in Test-cricket you could be forgiven for thinking he'd not manage it - but he can. Unlike Vaughan, Slater and Laxman he can play in more than 1 way. Fleming has hardly been a roaring ODI success, either, even if he is a reasonable player.

and what technical problem is this? hes looked pretty good technically if you ask me, much the same way that attapattu has looked pretty good technically and still had a poor record against quality teams.

Jayawardene never looks great when the ball's swinging and seaming, like so many subcontinental batsmen. Yes, he plays it well sometimes, but equally it gets him out cheaply quite a bit.
Atapattu, meanwhile, has simply failed sometimes and succeeded spectacularly at others, regardless of the quality of the opposition - he's as infuriatingly inconsistent as Vaas is with the ball.
