Also doing dumb things like reviewing when he's plumb last night don't help your cause.
Never stopped Watto
Well it didn’t help his cause either, did it.

59 tests. 58 T20s. 190 ODIs.
Not bad for concrete shoes

4 day tests in Aus usually don't end in Australia being humiliated. Well done India.

Hard disagree. I think he was actually underrated.
In Australia he was a punchline who was never truly appreciated. An opener who could generally get past the new ball and average 40 odd? We yearn for that.
Now all he’s remembered for is reviewing the odd plumb LB. Not his supreme eye and ability to shore up our batting lineup in a relatively unstable period.
And then you have his bowling ability, which again was underrated. Despite injury limitations he was the perfect fifth option who could tie down an end while the quicks had a rest.
And then in the shorter forms he was a master.
I’m not saying he’s an all time great but in Australia I don’t think he has the respect he deserves.

Are we thinking of the same guy ?

To be fair, you're probably right. But he came across as a bit of knob, and the DRS efforts were meme-worthy. But he was a hell of a cricketer.

Four hundreds and three five fors in 59 tests. Colin De Grandhomme had better averages.
He was a decent cricketer, nothing more.

From 2009-2014 he scored a bit over 3,000 runs at 39.6. So not quite 40 but not too shabby given our record in that period.

Martin Love is a guy who played in the wrong era - or in the wrong country.
We would have killed for him, but he could barely get a game for Oz.
I reckon he would now.

Yeah He would walk in to the current line up a great batsmen born in the wrong era.
Brad Hodge is another who couldn't break in his time,he would now. -

Don't recall him ever getting rated that highly in fairness.
