A Fair Team !!

Cricinfo has started a new series on 'Little-Known Stats' and this could be a really interesting one. The first one surely is. It lists the highest number of runs scored at each batting position.

Of course, it confirms what we already know - and what we generally perceive to be the most prolific scorers in World Cricket. And amazing that Sunny, Rahul and Sachin are all in there !!

What it also shows is that these are the players who have over their long career made a particular spot their own.

And most intriguing is the fact that this could actually make a fair World Team of players over the last 20 years or so. Throw in an all-rounder at 6 (Steve Waugh has his name twice) and you are virtually through. The only deficiency is a World Class spinner - now why is Warne not up there instead of Ambrose ??
