[straw man]

I can see that Sutcliffe's FC average was 47.41 but I'm not sure easiest way to check if his Plunket Shield average was over 50.

You mean Beeten

Beet Sutcliffe is one of my favourite vegetable-related cricketers

I'm gonna say Big Jesse

This is who I have ranked 11th to 20th, to give a clue, as to who it isn't.

Looking for a guy with a FC to Test batting average spread similar to Chris Harris.

 

[ataraxia]

No idea. 50s or 60s, you're saying?

 

[Immenso]

an Aucklander, mid 30s to mid 50s.

Terribly underperformed at test cricket.

Killed it in tour matches, and domestics.

Merv Wallace?

Merv Wallace?

correct

Geez that list drops off quickly, doesn’t it.

 

[NZTailender]

Wonder what the equivalent for bowlers might be. 150- 200 wickets at 25 is probably more common than 2000 runs at 50?

Interesting to see what the best statistical Plunket Shield XI is

Where does Lawrie Miller fit? 2369 runs at 51.50 for CD + Wellington, but I don't know how to easily separate PS versus touring team games.

I wouldn't take that as definitive .... Started off as a list for a different purpose.

He would look in envy at Harris and Wallace's PS to Test average spread.

Averaging 53 in in PS, and 13 in Tests.
