They simply judge by the Eyetest

Exactly, so it's strange to think he might and rate him as if he did

No so I rating him as he stands without speculation

 

[ankitj]

Why? This has happened to countless bowlers dipping end career and he already averages around 24.

Then how would he be top 5/6 with 50 wickets at same average?

His average as is is fine, still ATG level. But yeah I would be a bit more reluctant if his stats were affected further.

 

[DrWolverine]

Both proved themselves in WI, Eng & Aus.
Holding’s ATG series in India tilts it in his favour.

Why Garner has better average and better WPM than Holding? Any explanation for this?

I think it was because he was a better bowler

Garner was consistent more difficult to score against while Holding was much more explosive.
Two different style of bowlers.

Series in Aus and Eng also ATG
