Best ever 35+ performer

[honestbharani]

I read the title and the first name that came to my mind was Gooch.

 

[Athlai]

CG Macartney (Aus)

5 100s
911 @ 75.91
11W @ 30.81 nothing to sneeze at either with a 5fer

 

[Smudge]

That's spooky Volts, was just about to post that very stat. I warned you to stay out of my mind didn't I?

Just be grateful you're not in mine - it's a horrible place.

 

[Debris]

As with just about everything, Bradman stands out.

 

[BhupinderSingh]

Imran Khan's stats are quite special.
18 Test matches, 1037 runs at 61.00 with a HS of 136 and one other century. Then 51 wickets @ 26.56 with best figures of 7/80 and one other 5fer.

Yes,It has to be Imran Khan for sure.

W.G Grace.

On the bowling:
Warne: 181 wickets @25.24
Murali: 118 wickets @28.3

Warne 181 wickets, Avg 25.24 and SR 50.9
Murali 118 wickets, Avg 28.3 and SR 59

Without B/Z:

Warne 170 wickets, Avg 25.11 and SR 51.1
Murali 79 wickets, Avg 35.13 and SR 71.9

Yeah Warne having a year off and not playing ODIs anymore definitely refreshed him and allowed his greatness to continue into older age.

Was a benefit to all cricket fans.

 

[Burgey]

Hadlee took 116 wickets at 21.39 after his 35th birthday.

That's incredible.

One of the very few debates on here where there are quite a few very strong possibilities, yeah? First name that came into my mind was Gooch too but any of Hadlee/Imran/Braddles and a few others are strong shouts.

What was Grimmet's actual record post the age of 35? Remember someone saying that he did a lot of his work when older.

 

[Migara]

Better stat would be to consider stats after 15 seasons of international cricket than the age it self.

 

[Noble One]

Not a best ever, but John Wright went from average to very good post age 35.

Decent first 63 Tests until turning 35. Scoring 3635 runs @ 33.34 with 7 centuries.

Turning 35, proceeded to strike 1699 runs @ 53.09 with 5 centuries in a pretty tough era for batting.

Might well be the biggest improvement relative to what went before, though.
