Averages 35 against WI. The only country with decent pace bowlers.

He faced better pacers from Aus imo

Who? Only Bert IronMonger I can remember. And most of matches between those two were in flat pitches.

Gregory, McCormick, Lindwall, Miller, maybe Johnston, at a stretch Wall. Certainly more there, if only for brief times, than Constantine + Martindale + that murderer & change.

While Hammond did struggle against genuine pace, especially the short stuff, that's not unique to him even among ATGs. Almost everyone has their holes and short comings

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hammond is really overrated as a batsman on here imo, but still a tremendous package as a cricketer.

 

[trundler]

He’s basically Mike Hussey. Only played tests during his short prime, got to **** around in the shield at a young age.

Or Barrington.
