Usman Khawaja vs Mark Taylor

Context is important, post was made in 2019 ..
By 2019,
Khawaja only had 44 tests to his name , scored 2887 runs @ 40.66 ,8 Test tons .
Bad reputation of being a home track bully,
Couldn't play spin , in and out the side .
Was dropped for two full years ..
Since he came back in 2022 :
22 Tests , 2114 runs @ 62.18 , 7 Test hundreds in half the tests he had before he got dropped ! , made big scores in Asia , brilliant against England home and away ..To get this sort of output as a 36 year old I think it's incredible, edges Taylor for me.

Khawaja scored 75. It was his 26th Test half century.
It was also his 12th Test half-century in the Openers position.

Not a good thing to highlight when you’re arguing for an Australian player.

Pre the 97 tour he was insanely good in England. Made over 800 runs in 89 and a couple of tons in 93 as well.

What a beautiful morning to wake up to and see that we’ve beaten the number 1 test team in the world.
I’m lost for words. This win is so special. People wrote us off; our inexperienced team, but we came here to fight.
This team should give their praises for one person alone here, Shamar Joseph. He set the example of not backing down when your back is against the wall. A true fighter. This spread througout the team, the intensity was up…
Whatever we lacked in skill against the mighty Aussies we made it up with heart, passion, bloood, and tears (lots of). We are Windies cricket… and we are ****ing back, baby!
Rally!

Now and Forever.
I’m West Indian…and a proud one at that.

Where does Usman Khawaja rank now?

State 12th Man
Taylor's average was 43.49
Khawaja's average is 44.02
Not much between them if we were only looking at it from an averages point of view. Only roughly half a run between the averages.
Coronis

Blindly looking at a player’s average isn’t the best way to judge them.

Of course. Thats why there's other ways of assessing players.
