Greatness does extend ' beyond the boundary '.
So, if 2 players are close statistically, then the greater player would be the one who has exceeded in the intangibles, such as ' character, influence, legacy and charisma ' to which I would add ' contribution to the game '.
One way to limit greatness is to use the Top Ten Tier thinking, i.e. Top Ten Batsman/Fast Bowler/All-Rounder....etc. This way whenever a new player cracks the Top Ten, another has to make way
