How should pre-WSC cricketers be judged?

Well that's the thing, the authorities have regulated to minimise the effectiveness of the bouncer in test cricket. I'm not saying that Ponting or Tendulkar wouldn't have found a way in the 70s or 80s but they didn't have to face that type of bowling theory their careers. I think it said a lot that when they came across England's pace quartet in 2005 the bully-boy Aussie bats were intimidated for the first time in years. That type of attack hadn't really been around in test cricket for some time.
Bloody Warne’s fault.
