Test Cricket aka real cricket

[plague]

Better bats than him in the side

6 Skips sit above him with a better Test Average

Bradman
Smith
Adam Voges yeah I lol at that too
Greg Chappell

Ponting and Hussey fractionally above him

Only 36 blokes in the history of Test Cricket have better averages than him and of those guys only 6 have played more or a similar level of matches

but heres where everyone wants it both ways.
you all sit there and say 'he didnt get as many hundreds/runs etc because he batted down the order', but by batting down the order he accrued way more not outs than any other recognised batsman, therefore artificially inflating his average.

the not outs helped his average, batting down the order helped him get not outs (the only ones with more are all recognized bowlers).
