Without telling who or position, can you just say how may are correct (assuming I have at least 1 correct)

I always do these and then when I see others reply, I'm like, Of Course!!!!

5 and the one you agreed with Hooroo (little Kane at 3 - JF Reid is 2nd) is indeed correct.

Kane

Just guessing most will be recent. I've nabbed Coney from Rapido as that sounds a good shout, and made a guess Dan has the best average in two spots.

Also 5 - I'll give another one out - Dan is the premier number 8 batsman in all of test cricket - an average of 40 or so.

That's a 7 Bob.

@KiwiPie okay, not bad for a couple of shies at the stumps

It's infuriating not knowing which is wrong

as far as i can tell

1
2
3 Kane
4 Rosco
5 Ryder
6 Coney
7 Cairns
8 Dan
9 Smith
10
11

meaning i am off with my openers and the bunnies? Or is it Coney at 6 that's out? I am massively confident in Cairns at 7

OK to speed things up here - all those 7 are the correct choices.

Of all the qualifying players, Rutherford (K) is behind Ryder, Nicholls, Baz, McMillan, Astle and Fleming. But he is ahead of Ross Taylor ..

As Chris Martin once sang "Nobody said it was easyyyyyyy"

[Chris B.]

If it's not Richardson as an opener, then it's probably Turner and Sutcliffe - unless it is someone even older - but I doubt CSD would qualify.

Tailenders could be anyone, but probably people who often batted higher - how about Lance Cairns and Martin Snedden?

Correct thinking. Openers are done - just 10 and 11 to go and neither has been mentioned so far.

I was trying to work out how Dempster missed out as one of the openers, but then I see he batted #4 in the last of his 10 tests.

[KiwiPie]

So still 10 and 11 to get for tonight.

And for extra cricketing fun, which 2 openers who played 10 games or more have the lowest average? There are 15 averaging below 30 so there are a few to choose from!

[Cyclops]

It wasn't the two Blairs (Hartland and Pocock) was it? Not sure if they played enough games though. They were bad enough that Bryan Young was considered a reliable opener for a period though.

[Paekakboyz]

Hmm would tuffey or pocock happen to have a decent 10 or 11 average?
