all stats count, rightly so
However, what you can do to judge top players is look at their record against top 2 or 3 sides, in particular, to see how they performed against the best of the best as it gives you a better reflection of how good they exactly were, at least statistically. Having said that though, best way to evaluate someone is through watching them imo
The reason im saying this is that every innings is dissimilar to all other innings in the history of the game as a batsman faces different set of deliveries and challenges every time. Hence, just forget about stats or at least don't put so much importance on them.
