Someone like Roy Kilner averaged 30 with the bat while taking 1000 wickets at 18 but got just 9 tests where he didn't fail. (I seem to recall he himself once modestly said he wasn't fit to lace Rhodes or Verity's boots, his direct competitors for a test spot.)

That cannot be right. Roy Kilner died in 1928 and Hedley Verity made his Yorkshire debut in 1930, so they did not play together and were not competitors for a test spot. I'm just speculating, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Roy Kilner never even heard of Hedley Verity.
