Compton and Mushtaq Mohammad are among the other contenders for a place in the middle order.
I did forget the Brylcreem man..BTW I came up with my own >=40 yr old team as below(all players above 40) and by having the most players from England i think i have made up missing Compton in the teen XI . No wonder Team England was once called the Dad's army

, Just kidding
Gilchrist averaged 61 after 47 Tests and is one of the 16 batsman. However, he didn't last there long, only 2 Tests.
Bradman
At 2000+ runs you can add Hussey, Headley. Miandad, Walters, Pollock and Worrell.
Yeah, Anantha can be a bit strange with his assumptions. Although 3000 runs does add an element of longevity if you think that sort of thing is important.
He just picked 3,000 because the article was about Steve Smith
Holy ***, I remember his exceeding 50 but not over 60 in that many tests.
There's nothing there that Ikki hasn't pointed out about a 100 times already on here
37 is still very good by normal keepers' standards tbh. He just set the bar ridiculously high.
I have good recollections of the English and South African fast bowlers taking Gilchrist's wicket later in his career by deliberately going around the wicket and targeting the top of his off-stump. The success with this tactic might explain the drop in average.
