No, he developed his game by playing county cricket against many of the best players in the world in county cricket. That was good for many countries.

It was an underrated and less spoken of factor in the emergence of the dominate WI teams in the late '70's and 80's.

Great players struggling in countries is a metric that I use to determine weaknesses/vulnerabilities to specific types of bowling, for example Ponting's record in India and just his dismissals in India tell me he was vulnerable to fast turn, Clarke wasn't and scored heaps in India, Clarke was a far inferior batsman overall obviously but that shows us what weaknesses Ponting had, and it's a huge point in debates. Viv didn't have any issues with fast bowling (or any kind of bowling really) so I don't think he'd fail in New Zealand in the long term, he was a much better player of movement than Gordon and especially Desmond and that's what is threatening in New Zealand.

What about Kallis in England?
