I thought I'd do some reserch to check out weather he had really feasted on lesser bowling or had he shown skill and prowess.

One of his most impressive tours was against SA in 2001 at home... Donald, Pollock, Hayward, Kalais. I know that some of these guys were in their twilight but it's still a decent effort to score a ton every match and then continue that form for the return leg in SA

Then he continued his good form against Pakistan with Younis, Aktar, Kanieria and Mushtaque

And smaking a ton against India in India is hardly a light feat either... The guy hardly broke a sweat.

So is he really overated?
