Wes Hall vs Brian Statham

[Johan]

Two quick tall guys from the 50s, one was averaging 21/22 half way through his career and was express, one was averaging 22/23 90% through his career and was very skillful

How does Adcock stack up to these two

Behind both, but close to Hall. On quality might be better, but don't have the career for that

fair enough on Statham, he was averaging 23 about 62 tests in and had a respectable record against Australia and West Indies. Hall though, Adcock has 71 @ 22 against Australia/England while Hall has 110 @ 32.

I feel like Adcock is better

Adcock and Hall had almost as drastically different home conditions as well. IIRC, in matches he played the bowling average was something akin to 25.

Not sure. I will have a look today. Hall had to bowl on a lot of flat tracks
