Based on the careers of most ATGs, you can assume they have the following phases of their careers:
Early career phase (10 percent)
Peak (40-50 percent)
Good phase (20-30 percent)
Late Decline (10-20 percent)
The cricketers who are in the top rung of ATGs will tend to be those whose peak/good phase covers a higher percentage than normal of their careers, like Tendulkar and McGrath.
While the lower rung of ATGs tend to have their stats and standing affected by a higher percentage of early/decline phases, like Waqar, Wasim and Botham.
Then there are the rare few like Lillee and Chappell who dont really have peak or decline phases in their careers and were unusually consistent.
