Top Batsmen & Bowlers

So, who has performed well at this level? Let's take a look at the batsmen first:

	M	Runs	HS	Avge	100s
DG Bradman	38	4785	414*	79.75	17
JB Hobbs	35	4104	295	67.28	13
RG Pollock	35	3504	252*	60.41	9
IVA Richards	38	3466	375	52.52	13
Javed Miandad	38	3241	248	48.37	8
Hanif Mohammad	41	3212	216	42.83	9
WR Hammond	36	3025	256	49.59	8
GS Chappell	37	2988	154	48.19	9
GStA Sobers	39	2873	154	47.10	8
L Hutton	31	2589	202*	45.42	9

Unsurprisingly, Bradman heads the list, both in terms of runs scored and average, but his performances haven't quite matched his real-life figures. However, when you consider the attacks he's had to face in the ATG universe, then his displays have been commendable!

Now for the bowlers...

	M	Wkts	Best	Avge	5I/10M
WJ O’Reilly	35	193	8-7	22.06	10/3
MD Marshall	37	151	6-32	26.48	5/0
AV Bedser	36	130	8-75	28.31	5/0
Imran Khan	34	129	5-49	27.63	3/0
RR Lindwall	38	128	7-72	25.80	4/0
FS Trueman	34	127	6-85	26.71	4/0
Abdul Qadir	34	127	6-72	36.69	8/1
TL Goddard	36	108	5-25	25.56	6/0
MJ Procter	28	102	6-52	27.24	3/0
HJ Tayfield	32	97	6-36	31.02	2/1

Australians thus sit at the top of every chart, perhaps underlining why they remain the number one ranked team in my ATG world.

Please feel free to post your comments on these performances, and I'll post any other records on request if you're interested.
