Australia's record breaking top 3 😉

Cricket.com
Khawaja (12.60) and McSweeney (14.40) are currently averaging the second-lowest and fourth-lowest returns respectively among Australian openers to have completed five innings in a home series, while Labuschagne's mark of 16.40 is the fifth-lowest of number three and four batters within those same parameters.

Lowest bowling average among all bowlers in test history in a calendar year with at least 50 wickets:

Imran Khan ‘82 - 62 wickets @ 13.29, 38 SR
Sydney Barnes ‘12 - 61 wickets @ 14.14, 36 SR
Jasprit Bumrah ‘24 - 62 wickets @ 14.58, 29.3 SR
Waqar Younis ‘93 - 56 wickets @ 15.15, 29.5 SR

How unplayable he looks is lining up with his consistent numbers across 12 tests this year. Right among one of the best bowling peaks of all time. Hope he has a few more years in the tank at this beyond ATG level.

Nice. Has one more test to play this year though. Hope he can climb up.

Even Smith is averaging 24.8 and Marsh is averaging 13.8.

I can't imagine Australia getting 250 or 300 if Head departs early.

Incredibly, that includes NZ's tour of India where he took 3 wickets in the series (only played 2 Tests) at 42s. He didn't take a wicket in the 2nd Test (to be fair, only 1 of the 40 wickets to fall went to seam).

That's what I said earlier. This is the weakest top order ever for Australia certainly in modern times. I haven't personally seen worse.

England have a massive chance to beat us next summer for the first time in over 15 years at home. There is no batting talent at all in the Sheffield shield ranks. England have guys like Root and Brook which is miles ahead of what we have right now.
