Marnus
Babar
Iyer
Brook

First 3 are all 28, Brook a fair bit younger but all should stick around for at least next 5 years. Babar for me most talented but I think marnus will end up with the best average. Shame iyer debuted so late.
Which one will retire with highest average?

I don't know if Babar will finish the highest average but in moral terms he certainly should as he seems to have an entire cricket administration devoted to his batting average as its guiding light, even moreso than, you know, winning games and entertaining the money-paying public.

If you’re going by averages it won’t be Brook for 3 reasons:

- amount of cricket he’ll have to play
- majority of tests in English conditions
- Bazball

Not that Bazball is bad but it doesn’t lend itself to stat padding. Paddling, maybe, but not padding.

Will be hard to top Marnus's average though, heck it may even climb at some stage.

Yep much as I hate it I think he is a top tier player now, I know he gets a bit of luck here and there but he scores mountains of runs I can't see his average dropping much at all. I'm almost as sure he will get a big score just as often as smith does.
