Interesting to see Andre Adams right up this First Class wickets list. Chat's average is a good reminder that Hadlee didn't take lots of wickets just 'because no-one at the other end' at the top level.
Im sure Payne will post soon, but Latham now second only NZ opener to reach 5000 test runs
Shout out to Payne for that fantastic EPL jersey lol
John Wright first obviously given I’m fairly sure he opened his entire career. Who is third ? Scrolling down the list I’m assuming Glenn Turner then Mark Richardson.
It’s not a position we’ve had an abundance of talent in to be fair ( then again historically you could say that about every role )

Latham needs to have one of his significantly large home innings right now, I cant see him and Devon being on 200/0 later today though..no chance
I’m looking forward to this being a massive reverse jinx.
You'll have a long wait ...

Wow, I’m genuinely shocked that Martin Guptill who had what I’ve always thought of as a short and unsuccessful test career is sixth !!

D K Morrison and M C Sneddon also on the list, each with a well compiled 1* to win a Test match together.

With Conway & Williamson out and 200+ runs behind, this is when Nicholls at 4 and Bracewell at 7 suddenly starts to look a little ominous.
Be positive. Mitch jr and Blundell thrive for adversity. I’d certainly like that run rate to lift though !

Counting on those two and Latham.

Tom has played 72 tests with 42 averagei think people are getting confused, the filter is on batting at 1 or 2 only, Rod did play 4 tests, 2 of which were at 1 or 2 the other two were not

It was long and unsuccessful. He was just persisted with because he was good at shorter forms. His average his actually worse than it looks and padded against weaker teams.

If ever there was an incentive for Tom to increase his average at opener, surely that's it. Tom "5000 runs as an opener, second only to J Wright", Dad " You're also second as an opener on batting average in this family lol"

Knowing Rocket the first thing he would say was my 2 test average doesn’t stack up to your 72 test average Son.
Humble dude is Rocket. -

Humble dude is Rocket.you would know better than I would and from what I've heard from him I would agree, would be a funny dig though..
