Sangakkar and Hussey..not yet bro.

Before u rate the batsmen, consider the bowling attack they faced. 1990s was the time when all the bowlers were at their peak..spin, fast or slow..u name it.

Sachin and Lara faced Allan Donald ( one of the fastest ever and best SA has ever produced), Wasim Akram ( best left armer ever), Waqar younis ( he was devastating to say the least at his peak in early 90s), Walsh, Ambrose, Glenn Mcgrath, Shane warne ( needs no mention how great he was ) and Muttiah Muralitharan.

They were highly respected by those greats. Post 2000, u see Donald was fading, Ambrose and Walsh retired..amd so on. Akram was gone. The only genuine bowlers left were Lee, and Shane Bond. Well Bond is gone and Akhtar has never played as much as to test these modern greats.

Richards faced Dennis Lillee and Thompson. Bradman faced Harold Larwood and Frank Tyson ( Bodyline bowler).

Sangakkara and Hussey are benefitting from the unfortunate absence of genuine fast bowlers and great slow or spin bowlers.

What u say ?
