Ok but what weaknesses do you see in Viv now that you didn't before? I think you have been swayed by the low average thing.

I just don't think his feats match his reputation, as you'd notice, I said Hammond's more flawed than Viv, but I think Viv's output is inferior by a margin big enough that his completeness won't win him the match, I'd be downgrading others too though.

That sounds like a complete reversal of your earlier defenses of Viv since you kept making it a point that as far as output goes there isn't a big difference between him and Sachin.

You have done irreparable damage to the cause. Viv will soon be out of the top ten. We are entering the age of disbelief.

I'll go through Tendulkar's career too eventually like I've done with like 5 Batters so far so who knows where he'll end up.

I mean, aren't you a disbeliever yourself as far as earlier times (golden age and beyond) are concerned?
