It's interesting all round. No surprises to see Bradman first, but it seems that Border's form slump of the 90's has stuffed him over. Headley averaged 66 in the 30's, but played 3 tests after WWII which significantly decreased his average. Also, Trumper & Grace have been pushed up due to the eras that they played in.
These are averages for all games, not just those with results, FWIW.
