In his first 23 Tests, George Giffen scored 644@16.94 and took 60 wickets @28.10.

Then in 1894-5 he had one of the best all-round series of all time: 475 runs @ 52.77 and 34 wickets @ 24.11.

Then he returned to mediocrity in his last series: 119@19.83 and 9@31.66.

What about when Stuart Broad averaged 61 and 14 against India in 2011?

I can't believe that anyone can look at his record and say that he only had one good series.
And please note, that unlike Hammond, Viv didn't face off against and feast off minnows. Also the best pace attack Wally faced during his peak was Constantine and Martindale, and he struggled. Viv faced Imran, Hadlee, Lillee and Thompson.
But sure, one series wonder.

You seriously can’t even take a clear joke against your precious Viv?

If someone said Marshall was the worst of the Windies bowlers you’d be posting a paragraph or 3 on how wrong that is too. :sleep1:

Kurtis Patterson.
2 Tests , 1 Test hundred with a batting average of 144.00 which would make him the cricketer with the highest Test Average of all time..

Still only 30 years old too but unlikely to play another Test.
