Some anomalies that might appear straight away for many and outline reasons why such analysis are never definitive, however well done.
For instance, I don't believe for a second that Adam Gilchrist is anywhere near Tendulkar as a batsmen (or near Kallis or G. Chapell or Dravid either, among others). Nor is Ponting as good as, let alone better than Tendulkar IMO, although the gap there is smaller. The only peer he had was Lara and whoever you favour there isn't wrong. It only amounts to personal preference.
Though it does obviously give reasonable indication of a batsmen's peak, how great that peak was and how long they maintained it. Will be fascinating to see how long Smith maintains it. After all he has been through, no matter your stand on it, he is obviously far tougher mentally than he appears despite his quirky batting nature.
