When Miandad, or Gavaskar, or Rameez, or Yousuf, etc criticize current players, should we view it in context of how they played or what they did during their respective playing careers?

If you played defensively during your playing career, does it take away your right to criticize someone who is playing defensively now? If you were a childish whiner during your days, does it mean you cannot criticize clown-like behavior of current players?

Javed was never a defensive player. He has won several important matches for Pakistan. Him and Viv Richards were the only two batsmen of their time who could turn the tables on the opponents at any time, they would never come under pressure against any bowling attack.
