My issue with the quote isn't that he doesn't consider chanderpaul an odi atg. He obviously isn't.
My issue is calling him a Nobody. The issue is batting talent post 2020 is drying up due to rise of t20 cricket.
Look at the top 10 test batsmen of the past (not ranked in order)
1) Sachin
2) Lara
3) Ponting
4) Kallis
5) Sanga
6) Dravid
7) Hayden
8) Younis
9) Yousaf
10) Chanderpaul
^^ This list isn't accurate as I am missing multiple names but I can make a list of solid test batters all the way upto 30. Names likes Damien martyn, Adam Gilchrist, Inzi etc etc that can be added. Even batters who I view as avg are solid test compared to today such as VVS Laxman.
Similarly in odi you have
1) Jaysuria
2) Sachin
3) Ponting
4) Lara
5) Hayden
6) Gilly
7) de villers
And many many more.
Fast forward to today who do you? The vest test batters of this era are
1) Steve Smith (only outlier)
2) Joe root (just tier 2)
3) Williamson

(and he's the 3rd best test batsmen of this era







)
4) Jaiswal (a 22 year old is ranked 4

, although he'll rank 3 or 2 when his career ends)
Guys like rohit, Kohli, Brooks, Sam konstas, Travis Head are utterly embrassments as test batters yet still make it into the top 10.
Similarly in Odi, if you wish to include kohli and rohit sure although their previous gen, but who else? Gill is decent but no where close to the batters of the past, Travis is a poor man version of Warner and he's aus best batsmen atm.
Mitchell, Rachin and many others are bang avg if compared to the past.
It's why I said chanderpaul is better then anyone in this era and by this era i meant 2020 and >.
It's a pure fact that batting standards have declined and it's why
@Devadwal hasn't been able to answer me.
Rizwan is a joke compared to chanderpaul lol
