An all time great that a lot of people will end up under rating imo. He averages in the 30s in 3 countries and that's the reason people will look at his record and say he was really good but not top echelon which imo is wrong. The weak spots in his record, well last time he played in India was 2009 and it was 20008 in WI, I have a feeling if he was to have played their more recently that those records would be better, he's got a ton everywhere he's batted other than in WI, 2nd most amount of doubles, averaging 58, 38 tons.
As a non keeper he's played 82 matches, averages 69.85, 31 tons, averages above 40 in every country bar South Africa where he averages 37.
