International Coach
Compton is overrated by many imo. I’m far from his biggest fan, as I believe I’ve stated multiple times.

But he’s definitely not the worst batsman to average above 50.

50+ matches and batting average > 50 : 30 batsmen
200+ wickets and bowling average < 25 : 27 bowlers
That's why Murali is a bigger legend than Sachin.Besides him none spinners had so low average and very few bowlers has better average than him but Sachin has seen contemporary with similar or better average than him

Sutcliffe (4555) - 54.23
