Definitely.

You are correct. Players like the following do merit a spot as atgs:
S Waugh
Border
Sangakkara
Barrington.
By the time they're done I believe the following will join this group:
Cummins
Rabada
Ashwin
Bumrah
S Smith
Root
Kohli (if he remembers how to bat again)

Incredibly harsh on Miandad. Better than Barrington IMO.

Big call but not outrageous.

Never really appreciated or valued Watling enough. Just didn’t feel like an ATG for some reason but he stacks up extremely well against the competition.
Wonder where Bairstow will end up in the keeper-bat list. Worse keeper but his batting record while keeping isn’t miles off Watling.

I didn't notice Watling's most of career actually. Just when I started noticing, he retired.

Reputation justified. Watling can breathe easy.

Too much of a green track bully playing for one of the strongest test sides in those times and possibly in history. Has a lot of gaps in his record to be considered one

Steve Smith is the only current player that is already an ATG. Maybe James Anderson as well although that one is a bit tricky. His career since 2010 hasn’t been much different than Shaun Pollocks 12 year test career. Maybe Shakib as well?
Kohli, Root, Williamson, Cummins, Bumrah, and Rabada have all done very well but they need to maintain their current career and away averages for another 4-5 years.
Babar looks like he could definitely become an ATG as well and will probably end up with a better record than all of the Fab 4 except Smith. Pant also looks like he could become an ATG.

Not an ATG

Yeah I get it. If you told me in 2009 how crucial he would be to NZ the next decade I would have lolled.
His whole schtick was taking all his catches and just not going away when batting, and tended to make big runs when NZ were ****ed. He couldn't downhill ski to save his life. Maybe his ton against Zimbabwe on recall? We tried to lose some of those games during that period but I think that was the Bracewell bail out test.
He was a very effective player, and you loved him if he was on your team, but other guys in his own side tended to be at the forefront of your mind until he was on 70* (200) and your match was being ruined.
