I am not rewriting anything. It was simple comparision between two historic series.I feel 2005 was better, it does not mean 2001 was bad. Samething about Sachin, I don't think at his peak Sachin was better than Ponting at his peak . It does not mean I said Sachin was a bad player or was not a great player. If you perceive it in any otherway it is on you.

 

you said one of your reasons for not rating 2001 as highly was Harbhajan's subsequent performance. that's fine. that's how you experience cricket. no worries! it does tend to suggest you might not give weight to what Tendulkar did aged 19 for example.

remove McGrath and you lose their true bowling leader (not Warne or Gillespie). for this reason, I'll put 2001 ahead of 2005.
