@KiwiPie Thanks, that was fun.

Those stats have a bit to say about the benefits of consistency of selection and the talent in our current batting group.

In some ways I'm a little surprised that Kane and Ross only have 65 partnerships (tests).

They've been in the team together for 9 years now (that's only 7.2 partnerships per year).

Not making any particular point, just an observation.

[Cyclops]

Seeing Latham and Williamson's average together has made me interested in how our partnerships are performing.

Latham-Raval average 38
Williamson-Latham and -Raval are both 50+
Taylor-Williamson is 50+, -Latham is 48 -Raval under 30
Nicholls-Latham is 96, - Raval is 33, -Williamson is 41, -Taylor is 53

Obviously some of those are very small samples (although Latham-Nicholls have 3 hundred stands from 6 attempts).

Overall, it emphasises the class of Kane, but also Latham, Taylor and Nicholls. It means we average almost 100 on the board before Taylor comes into bat which must be a nice change for him.

Raval comes out looking a bit poor in this! He's the common factor in all the partnerships under 40, but part of that will be because of the small sample and probably also partly because he's had trouble converting starts, so those lower partnerships will be more commonly because we're collapsing rather than because he's racking up a Lathamesque big ton.

@Paekakboyz That was mesmerizing!!

I know right, it was trippy when it hit 2012/13ish and everything stopped till the new bloods came ripping through. Far out Sangakara got work done in his final years!

Had totally forgotten or missed that Lara started after Tendulkar!! I guess kicking your career off at 16 gets you a decent head start!

very cool graphic

Reiterates to me how under rated Greenidge and Haynes are. I know they are recognised names, but they rarely come up in All Time XI conversations.

Be interesting to see it in 5 years to see Kohli

Haven't the Sri Lankans had some run machines?

[Virgil]

Here comes Sachin!...

Crazy to see how long John Wright was the amount the leading run scorers too.
