No he was a master. The Little Master.
I go over the distinction here. But essentially, geniuses are the ones who play in their own way and redefine their skill. Masters achieve technical proficiency to the utmost degree.
Masters vs Geniuses in ATGs
Is it fair to use these two categories to describe those who are ATGs? Masters are those who are the most accomplished technicians in terms of getting the temperament and technique all sorted out, and taking the fundamentals of cricket to their highest level of skill in performance. This is not...
