So saw a facebook post on Wisden about the best players to average under 40. Now there's a realky obvious answer to this that never occurred to me and it wasn't any of the three answers I gave.
I said
1). Kim Hughes, who's average suffered due to being saddled with the captaincy (on the tours Greg Chappell didn't want to play) and playing his last 8 tests against peak West Indies.
2). Alec Stewart, who suffered from having to keep wicket and getting moved all over the batting order.
3). Imran Khan who averaged 50+ over the last 9 years of his career after a sress fracture restricted his bowling.
So what say everyone else? And who knows the obvious answer? (as obviously as Bradman is the GOAT this guy was THE greatest barsman to average sub 40)
