Hello.
I am hoping to compile a comprehensive list of cricketers
who averaged over 50 with the bat during there first class careers.
Wisden only lists those averaging over 50 who scored more than
10,000 runs, which eliminates many cricketers with fine averages,
for example, George Headley.
My initial search got me the following brief list, and I haven't
got around to consulting more than two small sources at the moment.
If anyone can think of others, or can scan their eye down any
lists they may have of career averages, feel free to email the
a list to post here and to CricInfo. Obviously this list will include
all those who scored a 100 in their only first class game onwards up
till those who scored more than 10,000 runs.
Thanks,
Stuart.
