Cullinan while comparing the SA team during his time with the present SA outfit says
I don’t subscribe to the view that all-rounders make a team great. It is the specialists who make a good team great. All-rounders are handy when fighting a rear-guard action. Sometimes they stave off defeat; sometimes they give the final push to victory.
Barring Kapil Dev and Ian Botham, rarely have they fashioned victory on their own, but when they do, it is spectacular.
"Ours was a very good team; we had some really good players. But the current
team is even better. I say this because this team has more all-rounders," he
said.
