Yeah. Azharuddin under-rated on CW IMO.

I don't suspect I really rate Crowe lower than the rest of you do unless he'd actually be in your top four.

I think he's a bit underrated too, but Crowe for a good 5 years was pretty much the best batsman in the world or atleast very close. Azharuddin never had a period like that.

well within that you can still go by things other than just batting averages. I was expecting someone to ask how Stewart made the cut for this given his average was a tick under 40 and had a huge explanation ready which included such factors as his important twin tons against the Windies when they stormed the keep, his stellar record against Wasim/Waqar and the fact the poor bloke had to juggle opening, captaincy and keeping at various stages of his career.

as you can see i was itching to give this explanation
