Wombat can hold is own don't you worry about that. The game is a good deal different today than it was in the 70's, but both players were wonderful in their own times.
I was at a Function at the Goldie, last year I think, and saw Wombat and Snake talking...so popped up and got a photo and then actually said to Wombat..."so what do you think of our current number 1"..Snake interupted and said "hey you should be asking me what I think about this great player standing opposite me".
They appeared to have a great deal of respect for each other.
