Who was an ATG FC cricketer

[aussie tragic]

I only just realised that if you take out Test cricket records, you may see a completely different cricketer.

Examples:

Mark Waugh scored 18,826 runs @ 58.10 if you ignore his test record of 8,029 runs @ 41.81

Richie Benaud would walk into Australia's current side as a batsman given his FC batting average of 41.20 excluding Tests

Keith Miller scored 11,225 runs @ 53.45 and took 327 wkts @ 21.96 outside of Test cricket, surely the greatest FC allrounder ever?

Who else?

 

[mr_mister]

Hick, Ramprakash, Lehmann and Bevan

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Nikita Miller

 

[_Ed_]

Chris Harris is a bit of a surprising one. Outside of tests, he scored 6601 runs @ 51.57 and took 144 wickets @ 31.60. Complete flop at test level (777 runs @ 20.44, 16 wickets @ 73).

 

[mr_mister]

Still find it odd Harris averaged so much more than Fleming, Astle and McMillan at domestic level.
His batting style looked uncoordinated and ungainly

 

[aussie tragic]

Bill Ponsford, 11,697 runs @ 69.63 far surpassed his test record of 2,122@ 48.22

 

[Slifer]

Sobers : 20282 runs @ 53.8
808 wkts @ 25.91

I'd give Miller the edge but Sobers was close. Plus Sobers did play Sheffield Shied for 3 seasons and became the first cricketer to take 50 wkts and score 1000 runs in a season ( I believe he did it twice).

 

[aussie tragic]

Also Bill Woodfull, 11,088 runs @ 71.08 without his Test record of 2300 @ 46.00

 

[mr_mister]

Vijay Merchant and George Headley would also average north of 70 without their test record

But yeah I assume Woodfull and Ponsford faced tougher bowlers

 

[Malcolm]

Wasim Jaffer

FC: 17473 runs @ 55.11
Tests: 1944 runs @ 34.10

 

[Burgey]

Greg Matthews FC figures absent his test numbers would be interesting. Think his batting might drop a couple of points but his bowling average would be so good he'd be an absolute gun al rounder. Bloke was always tehre or thereabouts as one of the best bowlers at Shield level but really never replicated at test level.

Very handy batsman though, Good enough to play as a batsman alone, back when 40 made you a very, very good player.

 

[aussie tragic]

Yeah Greg Matthews FC record was pretty good excluding tests

7023 runs @ 38.58 and 455 wkts @ 29.60

 

[Dendarii]

JP Duminy

Tests: 2103 runs at 32.85
First-class: 4671 runs at 56.28

His bowling is worse at first-class though

 

[Burgey]

Holy ****, that discrepancy for Duminy is insane

 

[h_hurricane]

Ajay Sharma

FC stats : 10067 runs @ 68.02

 

[h_hurricane]

George Headley had mighty great FC stats too.

7731 runs @ 72.93

 

[aussie tragic]

That man Bradman also had a pretty good FC record, 21,071 runs @ 93.65, but he obviously stepped it up for Tests

 

[Burgey]

I think you will find that Mike Procter would have had a better record than Bradman in tests, had he been given the opportunity.

 

[h_hurricane]

The colossal FC stats of Sir Ravindra Jadeja

Batting Avg : 56.14

Bowling Avg : 23.76

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Can work both ways. If you remove David Gower’s Test record his batting average is under 40 in First Class Cricket.
