Didn't say I didn't notice it, always wonder why no one brings it up.
I wasn't ever going to
But note that not every where had that bounce and dint have the movement the earlier era had.

I can see the argument for Hadlee over McGrath
But that does not mean he is overrated by any means

Mcgrath didn't face Aus who had the strongest batting lineup but Hadlee faced Aus,Ind,Pak and WI who had better batting power than his own team

Yeah Hadlee had a moderate away series against WI, a huge tour would have really solidified his case.
As it is, his career is mainly Eng, Aus and NZ.

Waqar also had amazing early career.19 ave in first 4 years but after that he couldn't keep up.But also Mcgrath being different is that unlike Waqar and Shoaib he isn't a fast bowler with extreme pace.That is why he is so consistent like Wasim unlike Shoaib and Waqar

Why would I bring it up?
Would you? It's really similar to Sachin.
A lot of his legacy is based on playing in the 90's. But even then his pitches at home were flat, way flatter than the ones every where else.
Have you ever brought it up, ever?

It's about moments and tours and when and against whom.
Those are the things that create legacies.
Think Marshall and McGrath had more big moments in big series, especially abroad.

I did mention that the flat pitch thing was overdone by the likes of you and that it was nowhere near as flat as Pakistani pancakes Wasim bowled on.

Hadlee had those but because he was NZ, didn't get highlight except for Aus 85 tour.

If McWarne are getting boosted for bowling in difficult conditions, when are we penalising the Aussie batsmen?

We do all the time.

Murali gets criticised for picking tons of wickets at home whereas Sanga also gets criticised for scoring a ton of runs at home.

I was making reference to Sachin and his pitches at home during the '90's.

How is it a big series if it isn't highlighted. Somewhat my point, the high pressure, featured series.
