Honestly, I think they're pretty close. Pietersen avgs higher which is more than neutralized by the flatter wkts and longevity of Gower. But Pietersen's ATG inns and X factor edge it towards him for me. He could take down the best bowlers in a way few ever have been able to.

Gower has more ATG knocks.

I guess I just think KP was very lucky when his career happened to start and end, and in his last two years KP lost 3 points of average, had he played another few years he might end up with a Gooch average lol
