Sorry, robinson, without prejudice, I should mention that he can be now compared with anybody playing cricket in county matches. Once upon a time, he was master blaster, he was a premier batsman, he was a guide and philospher in the field of cricket but now now. Why he did not play against Australia when we were in final of WC 2003. Any explanation ? where was the consistency then and where it is now. Everthing is gone. He now plays only for his records like gavaskar who made 36 runs in 60 overs in one of ODI. All our players are masters in their own areas and not give undue importance to a particular player.
