I think averaging 37 in a mostly dismal England team against some of the best bowling attacks in history (with the new ball) is pretty decent.....least of all as he played some astonishing innings.

Inzamam Ul Haq in ODI… average of 39 with 74 SR and a worse World Cup record

Certainly Not. But it will get tallied with your hatred with Kallis.

His rating of Kallis is way more logical than that of Ponting.

Once rated Kallis is not even an all rounder, But someone like Warne who just knows something about his secondary discipline and the best in that category and also shared a link someone saying the same.

He said that? Link to that post?

sorry…can’t find , searched a lot…couldn’t find sice subz mentioning Kallis is infinite.
I once mentioned the same to you.

Disagree.
Those are good stats for that era and if he'd been even adequate between the wickets his average and s/r would both be even better. He also produced the greatest performance in Pakistan's greatest ever moment in cricket history.

Dravid - won Wisden poll for Greatest Indian batsman.
Kohli - easy era inflated stats makes people believe he is on par with Sachin / Viv / AB.
Comparatively slow, Not a single Good WC. Statistically one league below AB when they were playing together ( and Kohli was in his prime during that period )
Warne - super duper flop against India and in West Indies. Considered by many as Greatest cricketer since Sobers. (Even in his own team Gilly, McGrath > Warne )
Getting selected in ODI AT 11s - he is nowhere near Saqlain or Murali.
Kallis - features in many AT ODI 11s - actually it is better for a strong team to play with just 10 players than letting Kallis destroy the momentum and spirit of the team with his ultra slow batting.
Kohli - easy era inflated stats makes people believe he is on par with Sachin / Viv / AB.

Don't you use Wisden polls to justify Gavaskar over Marshall?

To correlate Kallis's rating as an all rounder with his ranking as a cricketer disregards what was most likely and constantly his 2nd most important skill to SA.
Pap Finn Keighl

It was experts, Dravid one was not.
sayon basak
Cricketer Of The Year
Funny cause those very experts rated Warne at 4.
Pap Finn Keighl
International Debutant
And Bradman and Sobers as top 2.
sayon basak
Cricketer Of The Year
Sure.
Why don't you rate Warne over Procter? He was rated much higher by the experts.
Pap Finn Keighl
International Debutant
Expert opinion matters.. But it is not the only deciding factor.
Was that when he stayed in the dressing room at the Oval after Darrell Hair accused Pakistan of ball tampering?
