(Purely basing this on his WC)
Bowling ordinary crap taking 27 wickets @ 18.59 with a strike rate of 20.5, took the most wickets ever at a WC, hell I'd love to see what he can produce at his best then!
Looking at his economy of 5.43 and comparing it to the other top WC wicket takers it really isn't as bad as it's made out to be in my opinion and whether they are 'cheap wickets' or not you still got to be bowling well enough and consistent enough to take them, especially that many and for the type of bowler he is and the way the ODI game is played now having his economy rate below a run a ball is still decent.
To say to he bowled ordinary crap in the WC is wrong IMO.
