Its really not fair. He's one of the best fast bowlers to have ever played the game. He played 88 (?) test matches and had a strike rate of about 43. That is, on average, he a took a wicket every 43 balls. Nobody else has such a strike rate after having played so many matches. He had this ability to produce unplayable deliveries every so often and watching him on song was a treat. Shoaib Akhtar has a close strike rate (44) but he's only played about 35 tests.
He just does not get the recognition he deserves.
In fact I'm going to claim right now that he was better than ppl like Holding or Lillee
