Team of the Year…2022- Tests

[The Sean]

Lowest averages with 5 tons in a year

Root (2022) - 27 innings, 1098 @ 45.75 5 tons 2 fifties
Gavaskar (1983) - 32 innings, 1310 @ 46.78 5 tons 5 fifties
Pietersen (2008) - 20 innings, 1015 @ 50.75 5 tons 1 fifty
Vengsarkar (1979) 27 innings, 1174 @ 51.04 5 tons 6 fifties
Hayden (2005) 29 innings, 1380 @ 53.07 5 tons 4 fifties

Also just for fun what I would say is most impressive year with (only) 5 tons - haven’t looked at opposition or anything like that

Walcott (1955) - 10 innings, 8264 runs @ 82.64 5 tons 2 fifties

Man, that's some prolific scoring right there.

Those 5 tons must have all been 800+

 

[Coronis]

me bad. 827 @ 82.70 no tons over 155, 5 tons and 2 fifties in 10 innings nb nb

 

[The Sean]

That was all one series for Walcott too, against Lindwall, Miller, Johnston and Benaud. Only man ever to make five tons in a series - no bowlers to back him up though and his team still lost 3-0.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah Cummins just sat out six years for ****s and giggles.

Anderson went and bowled in Australia with horrific injuries and you still count the series against him, you hypocritical muppet

Allegedly

Nothing alleged about his injuries in 06 pal. England cricketers were appallingly mismanaged in those days.
