I found it interesting that there appears to always be one player of each generation that is clearly above all the rest…..
.....So, I thought I’d list the Aussie Batsmen who have passed the “baton of greatness”
1899-1912: Victor Trumper (debut at age 21)
1907-1926: Charles Macartney (21)
1924-1934: Bill Ponsford (24)
1928-1948: Donald Bradman (20)
1948-1963: Neil Harvey (19)
1964-1980: Ian Chappell (21)
1970-1984: Greg Chappell (22)
1978-1994: Allan Border (23)
1985-2004: Steve Waugh (20)
1995-2007: Ricky Ponting (20)
And the once in a generation Aussie Pace Bowlers....
1946-1960: Ray Lindwall (24)
1953-1963: Allan Davidson (23)
1961-1971: Graham McKenzie (19)
1971-1984: Dennis Lillee (21)
1984-1996: Craig McDermott (19)
1993-2007: Glenn McGrath (22)
I’m sure all countries are the same, so I’d be interested in seeing them listed….
