I find it strange why Garner is being so undervalued. What is the weakness in his record besides longevity?

Don't think it needs to be changed to batting. Garner was the better bowler for his batting.

lack of 5fers and 10fers

Kind of an arbitrary measure. What is the WPM (or even the WPI for those thus inclined) comparison?

Pretty high, But he's accused of taking a lot of tail-end wickets, which may account for the WPM.

Didn’t play much outside Aus/Eng/WI.
Just played 8 Tests elsewhere - 3 in Pak & 5 in NZ.

this doesn't really matter

his WPM is fairly high, but imagine if a guy has an average of 55 in 105 games, but has like 11 tons, or 10, that'd be very dissapointing.

Guess being a side character could be a big point against Garner as well.

Pretty sure you’re thinking of Akram..

Anyway Garner has pretty close to perfect splits on top order/middle order/tail wickets (as defined by howstat at least: 1-3, 4-7, 8-11)

85, 87, 87
