Nah. Sobers and Smith also faced excellent bowlers throughout their excellent peaks.

My main takeaway from that list is Hill > Trumper, as suspected. The eye test lies. Also Smith… its sometimes easy to forget we’re witnessing such a ridiculous batsman.

Sobers didnt quite face the same level as Viv did.

Smith scored well against some good attacks but most of his cashing in was weak attacks on pancake wickets at home.

And just for fun, because I have the code ready, here's the worst periods for the same set of bowlers with the same 40 innings - 5 year criterion.

Good to see Derek Underwood got two entries from the same stats.

It's his own fault for bowling a 0/0.

Sobers didnt quite face the same level as Viv did.

Smith scored well against some good attacks but most of his cashing in was weak attacks on pancake wickets at home.

Bloke scored 3K runs @ 67 with 11 centuries and played more matches away than at home during that peak period but sure.

Also Sobers faced Davidson, Trueman, Fazal, Statham and Benaud. All excellent bowlers.

Smith in his peak had 4-5 series averaging 100 plus against ordinary attacks on flatter wickets at home. Not saying he is a flat track bully cas he scored very well against better attacks too, but his dominance was bumped up a few points by soft runs.

Sobers no doubt played some excellent bowlers but Viv in his peak scored against peak Lillee, peak Imran, peak Thommo, peak Botham, Snow, Hendrick, Willis, and then spinners like Underwood, Qadir, Bedi, Chandra and Prasanna. And that's ignoring his WSC which was in his peak too. Nobody can match that dominance over that quality in a peak.

Can we calculate the peak : average ratio to see who had the most ridiculous of peaks?

Imran ahead of Barnes is staggering.

Barnes, lock and Briggs' stats needs to be adjusted for the batting average of era. That probably makes Imran to have the most prolific peak.

Everton Seymour · Nov 21, 2022

Jimmy Adams probably had the biggest tail off in his career..

1992-1997 46 innings @ 56.89

1998-2001 44 innings @ 26.87

I am considering adopting Adcock > Trueman is my new hipster hill also.

Agree with this one.

Smith scored well against some good attacks but most of his cashing in was weak attacks on pancake wickets at home.

No more than the majority of batsman. And much less of a home-track bully than his contemporaries like Williamson & Kohli

Quite a lot of overlap in dates yet completely different stats?

Quite a lot of overlap in dates yet completely different stats?

Because you need a 5 year period to qualify. You could make the difference in stats more pronounced by reducing the limit
