How good was Ian Redpath?

How good was he?

 

[howitzer]

Pretty good once he became an opener but relatively low longevity in that phase of his career. I kind of see him as a 40 years earlier version of Katich and rate them about equal as bats.

Perhaps Redpath slightly higher but i'd still have him some way behind the Mark Taylors of this world.

It was good to see him back.

Ian Chappell rated him highly, only slightly below Keith Stackpole, Dougie Walters and Rod Marsh.

3 tons and 2 fifties in the 75/76 series against Windies, who had Roberts and Holding albeit both just starting out

Ian Chappell rates all his team mates, understandably

Redpath retired on top as well, hit 2 hundreds in his last 2 Tests. Not sure who else has done that?

Pretty trash

Being rated only slightly below a guy who had only an eight year career for an average of 37 (Fatpole) isn't the highest praise.
