Re:

If Adam Dale was such a "great" - how come he only played 30 ODI's?

What kind of logic is that? Bradman only played 52 Test matches but someone like Ian Healy played over a hundred I guess that means he's a greater cricketer than Sir Don then? (taking nothing away from Healy btw).

Number of matches played by a cricketer is no indication of how talented they are.

We've had enough wasted threads recently. No blame attached to GB, it was clearly an error, but still...

You what?

You cannot use that analysis to compare players from different eras.

The point was that if Dale is so great, how come he played so few games at a time when there's a lot of One Dayers being played and his career was such a short space of time for one so good.
