I suppose the SA side of the 90's and early 00's counts as far as the batting is concerned. No real class act till Kallis pushed on yet they got away with it by batting so deep.

I had Grace for Trumper too. Would've picked Trumper if I was looking at it as a Tests-only type thing though, which I probably should've given the spirit of it.

Have England had anyone averaging 50+ or under 25 remotely recently?

Edit: Nope, not regular players at least. Last batsman was Ken frigging Barrington.

Bresnan for a bit.

Tremlett is close I think, but not quite. Same with Cook, who probably should've made that side FJ posted.

He was over 50 but slipped back again after the last test in India didn't he. Forgot he had gone back under 50.

21st century

Cook
Sehwag
Langer
Laxman
Pietersen
Flintoff / Martyn
Gilchrist
Vaas
Gillespie
Kumble
Ntini

Kumble averaged 32 post-2000, oddly. Sehwag well down on an average that I'm pretty sure was mid-fifties just a couple of years ago
