Can Sunil Narine become an all time great?

Can we at least keep the comparisons reasonable? Cricketers were paid like serfs in the 70s and were more than willing to play for their countries as many still did in WSC. WI and Australian players also played for their nations in that tournament anyway. Whereas Narine is hardly on the breadline.

Very nice and thanks for that. Not that its comparable to Narine's case but thanks again.
Not pictured: Brumby's (in)famous Pitchers.

Just while they're on this, and possibly why it's so understandable for Hurricane and others to have the opinions that they do:
Jerome Kaino, at 31 years of age, has taken a $500K pay cut to play for the All Blacks.
That's quite ridiculously impressive when you think about it.
When you have a level of charisma - possibly like the Aussie and West Indies test teams once had - there is a certain demand that you can expect from players.
I didn't actually realise it was that high.

Has anyone tallied up all the times he's been reported for chucking? Might be the ATG in that.

Moooo
I hate that the standard for IPL is different from that of the ICC.
He does chuck it in the domestics leagues and doesn't even get called.

Whatever it takes!!!
Actually, he is very much cleared to bowl even by ICC right now. He is not playing coz he is not sure if the action is fine. I think it does make sense that umpires are more likely to watch it at the international level than the domestic level.
That said, we have 1 ICC umpire every game in the IPL too. So he could well be pulled up sooner even this season.
