Sachin + Lara - Graeme Wood = Steve Smith

Agreed, Smith doesn't give me the Wood at all.

I remember someone had done something similar on CW (or maybe it was on Cricinfo) and it turns out the difference in their 'standard scores' wasn't as big as imagined? I may be misremembering this though.
Surely one of the maths whizforumers here can come up with something? Theory is that Sachin was much more of a consistent scorer than Lara was (with the opposite, Lara being the big scorer being true).
It's arguably also true for Kohli > Sachin.

When it comes to consistency between the two, are we talking match-to-match or series-to-series? Might be something to consider.
