Given the quality of bowling faced, you would have to say Viv's batting peak is the greatest in cricket history after the Don.

Ponting and Kallis averaging 72+ over 100+ innings is just amazing

It sure is, but it's also somewhat telling that both these peaks are in the first half of 00s.

Nah. Sobers and Smith also faced excellent bowlers throughout their excellent peaks.

My main takeaway from that list is Hill > Trumper, as suspected. The eye test lies. Also Smith… its sometimes easy to forget we’re witnessing such a ridiculous batsman.

I put 1958 instead of 1954 by mistake!

TOTAB's peak average of 64 is worth closer to 164 given the era he played in, the bowlers he faced and the fragility of the batting line-up around him for much of that period.

Not that impressive given that he batted at 5

He did really well in every position from 3-6 and actually batted more often at 4 than anywhere else, particularly during those peak years.

I will say I am actually also pretty surprised at Sachin managing a significantly peakier peak compared to Lara.
