Looking at those extraordinary numbers from Hadlee, and remembering also what he did to Australia in particular in the 1980s, he seems curiously underrated when it comes to all the "Greatest Cricketer" lists which we often discuss in here.
In CMJ's 100 greatest cricketers, Hadlee came in at number 25. In David Gower's all time top 50 a few years later, Hadlee was number 24. When Sky Sports cricket statistician Benedict Bermange produced his all time top 100, Hadlee was ranked at number 21. Even more surprisingly, when the Telegraph's Scyld Berry ranked his 40 greatest cricketers of the last 40 years (which only spanned the period 1977-2017), Paddles still couldn't even make the top 20, coming in again at number 21.
I realise, of course, that most players would kill to be ranked this high, but for a player of Hadlee's incredible achievements it seems very much on the low side.
