Smith -25 50+ score in 66 innings
Joe Root -22 50+ score in 65 innings

Sutcliffe casually averaging 67.

Ken Barrington
1st Ashes : 364 runs @ 45 in England
2nd Ashes : 582 runs @ 72 in Australia
3rd Ashes : 531 runs @ 75 in England
4th Ashes : 464 runs @ 66 in Australia
5th Ashes : 170 runs @ 56 (retired midway)

 

[Johan]

Barrington's issue will always be the lack of marquee knocks.

Is there any instance where Barrington didn't average high?

It's either Smith, Border or Sutcliffe.

Smith and Border have faced some of the better England post-war attacks. TOTAB got to cash in late i his career from 89 onwards, but he played against peak Botham and Willis home and away. Smith's record against some of the stronger England attacks in England is insane tbh. His 2019 series alone puts him in the highest echelon. It was ridiculous batting. 774 runs in 3.5 tests ffs. Could well have beaten Bradman's series record if he hadn't got bonced.

The Don only needed 7 innings for the record, it's just fair that the two who have come the closest in England played 7 too, in Richards (1976, 829 runs) and Smith (2019, 774 runs).

Yes, unfortunately I am far more unpleasant than most people's initial perceptions usually suggest.
