Has there ever been a more underrated bowler than Joel Garner?

And if you consider performance against the best team of the era, Imran pips all of them..

Trying to figure out how that's relevant to the discussion tbh.

That is the whole issue. You add filters of your own, but not accept others.
Steyn and Ambrose regarded higher because they did well against best sides of their times. Imran did the same, but suddenly it does not count.
Secondly if number of wickets and WPM are applied as filters, so should be the conditions they have been achieved in. If Garner is marked down for <300 wickets and low WPM, Lillee should be for appalling / absent record ion sub continent / best side of the era.

I mean that no one was even discussing him, like at all.
