Lara like Warne had awesome early career where he set the world on fire, a bad mid career with moments of brilliance and then ended strong to secure his legacy.

Dougie Bracewell and Mathew Sinclair. Both unfortunately deified by Prince EWS.

Waqar and Ponting imo

Maybe Botham.

Ponting didn't start his career with a bang
Botham is not a great batsman. He is likely a great bowler, definitely a great all-rounder.

Yeah I mean Botham as an AR, he started like Waqar with a bang, and overall ended up as a regular great.

Ponting.

Seems odd because Waqar started as a teen whereas Hussey started as a relative senior.

Dravid and Shaun Pollock, both unfashionable greats who were overshadowed by other ATGs in their career but were key parts of seminal victories.

True. I was more basing it on them both starting stellar before regressing to great.

Kohli and Rabada remind me of each other somewhat. Fiery guys who are carrying the torch and still a question if they end up as ATGs.

Apart from starting spectacularly, they both had strike rates that hadn't been seen before (although SR mean very different things for batting and bowling)

I just think Waqar was behind Viv overall as a class of cricketer tho.

Style, ability to destroy opposition, overall records, underrated in CW.
