I was stunned by that.
And so you get back to where do you rate him, Gerard?
Because he was always put in the top four, wasn't he?
The four horsemen, Steve Smith, Virat Kohli himself, and Joe Root.
Did you have a rating there, Gerard?
Well, do you know what?
I actually do agree with you on that, and I'll tell you why.
Because he just, as good as he was, and his batting average was in the mid-50s, and that's an incredible effort, but I agree with the Peter Robach saying...
When you are comparing average players, you look at their highlights.
When you're comparing greats, you ask, what didn't they do?
You know, that's it, because they all scored runs.
But what was their soft spots?
And against Australia in 11 tests, Williamson averaged 36.
Against England in 20 tests, he averaged 40.
That's okay.
Against India, he averaged 37 in 13 tests.
Now, that's well below his average of 54.
And I think you've just got to rate him against how he stood up against the big boppers.
You really do.
