    Richardson
    Latham
    Kane
    Rosco
    Nicholls
    Coney
    Cairns
    Dan
    Dan
    Southee
    Boult

    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.

    @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.

    I will suck at this but...

    1. Latham
    2. Wright
    3. Williamson
    4. Taylor
    5. Rutherford (K)
    6. McCullum
    7. Watling
    8. Hadlee
    9. Southee
    10. Vettorri
    11. Boult

    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!!!!

    Seriously ?

    I expect better posts from you Hooroo

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

    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?

    Turner
    Sutcliffe
    The Mariner 7
    Cairns, L
    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.

    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!

    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.

    Pocock is a YES - Hartland is poised on 9 games though with the outstanding average of 16.83

    Trevor Franklin then? I remember being shocked by his average given the reverence that he and John Wright get as an opening pair (not that it's undeserved, shows how much the game has changed, and probably also how much our standards have risen)
