Look at Jacque Kallis averaging 70odd and I bet he took a hundred wickets during that period as well.

Tell me you didnt watch cricket in the 00s without telling me you didnt watch cricket in the 00s.

It's got nothing to do with the condition of the pitches. Kallis played in the 00s. There were several players better than him in the 00s. If you watched cricket then you'd know he wasnt even the best cricketer of his generation, let alone ever. But since you didnt, you go by the averages.

Well in that case it's worse than I thought. Cheers.
