The man averaged 60+ during the bodyline series, if he can do that against field placements which are now considered illegal ( the Don countered the tactic by picking the length early, stepping back and carving them through off whenever the ball was directed at the chest/head region) then I think he would have been able to lead the Aussies to a narrow victory against Garner, Marshall, Holding and co.

Hence Muralitharan claiming so many "Test" scalps.Rik E Boy wrote:No surprise regarding statistical dominance Graham, they play more tests these days against powerful combinations like the present West Indies and New Zealand combination as well as the minnows Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

An England team that was ravaged by war with very few genuine test players playing for them, the bowling especially was threadbare, read the accounts of Australia's 400 in a day at Headingly and check some of the bowlers used, the comment 'an attack barely up to test standard' appears in more than once source. A mere five years later they lost the Ashes but after five years the Windies side was just getting started against players the calibre of G Chappell, Lillee, Marsh, Border, Botham, Gooch, Imran, Miandad, Sarfraz, Kapil Dev, Gavaskar, M Crowe and Hadlee - this is an array of talent that Tugger's combination did not have to encounter when it began it's sixteen test rampage.
