It seemed to be the consensus that the only reason Brockie cleaned up in 12-13 is that the rest of the attack was as useless as a chocolate teapot. The same could be argued for Stein in 13-14. Similarly to how Richard Hadlee's skills with a cricket ball were magnified by the fact that the next best fast bowler in NZ for most of his career was the "Naenae Express" Ewen Chatfield.

I think I get your point, but the examples aren't close. Stein & JBrok maybe, but Hadlee ripped shit up consistently for years and years and was world class. Hate the term but he certainly was exactly that. Not similar at all.

I think I get your point, but the examples aren't quite therefore. Stein & JBrok yes, but Hadlee ripped shit up consistently for years and years and was world class. Hate the term but he certainly was exactly that. Not similar at all.
