If you go with a sample size of 80+ innings then the top 5 by average:

Bradman
Sutcliffe
Barrington
Weekes
Hammond

@Coronis , I don't know where the hell you got runs per innings data (generative AI literally refuses to consider using it, good to see it take a stand on something lol), but I imagine for an 80+ innings sample size you'd end up with almost the same RPI list.
