It's not the age of it so much as HB is incapable of turning it down to less than about a dozen references a week.
It's nice to be the object someone's obsession, and tbh I'm used to it in all facets of my life, but it's probably time that he moves on. For his own sake, really.

Are you saying that the more references to your age the higher IQ? Reasonable opinion.

Using the 28 average would be more accurate, if indeed that was what he averaged as a seamer, which btw I have no reason to doubt.
But factoring in his slip fielding (in the Hammond / Chappell / Simpson tier) to that mix and I don't see him being behind even Bradman as a cricketer.
Hadlee and Kallis though can't be miles behind them either if were mentioning all rounders. Not exactly knocking, but not that far behind. Hadlee is arguably a top 5 fast bowler who averaged nearly 30 with the bat.

Sobers and khallis where freaks, I didn't see sobers live or in replay, but the legend around him is insane. He's like what would happen if smith was the freak of a bat he is while also having kept up his leg-spin full time and becoming a nathan lyon tier bowler while also being a freak of a slip fielder.
Khallis was just untouchable, wasn't extremely flashy with the bat but he was just so mechanical, knew how to make an attack suffer, also has just under 300 test wickets at a brett lee esque average and is one of the best fielders in the history of the game.
Hadlee was a different beast from what i've heard, man was an insta win button on his day, could singlehandely tear a team apart with bat or ball (though particularly ball) and win a game on his own seemingly out of nowhere. He produced the Stuart broad tier meme spells while also having the bowling consistentcy of a mcgrath tier bowler and averaged a smidge under 30 with the bat.

Really? My dad always described him as a level above anyone in that peak sa team in the field including AB, and he has the internation catches to back that up, may have been hyperboly
