it's often a question how well Hutton did against top notch bowling lineups of his era, obviously slayed in the test arena but i found something interesting, now New South Wales after the war had a ridiculous bowling lineup. Hutton faced them in tour games while representing England, the bowlers were as follows order, I'll put a * in those who can be considered young.
1946-47: Lindwall/Toshack in first game, Lindwall/Johnston/Toshack in second game.
1950-51: Lindwall/Johnston/Benaud*/Davidson* in first game, Lindwall/Johnston/Miller in second.
1954-55: Davidson/Miller/Benaud in first and second game.
Output? 785 runs in 10 innings @ 78.5, 3 hundreds, 4 fifties.
