Gavaskar averaged 60 or thereabout for around 50 tests from mid to late 70s.An opener averaging 57+ isn’t impressive in any era?
I’d love to know how many openers have done that over 50+ tests
Hayden looks like one, and he just breached 60
Same with Hobbs last 50 tests.
Pretty sure Hutton would have a similar streak there.
Sutcliffe's career was that peak.
Must be more.
I bet you can find similar streaks in Cook and Warner around Sehwag's level as well.
