Would there be many OS players with that average on the subcontinent?


I agree, I was just being flippant :)

Funny - when I saw that list I was surprised how poor his record in India was considering the 2001 tour.

Hayden has the 90th highest batting average in India, obviously a lot of Indians in that list above him.

His 3 tours of India he averaged 109.8 in 2001, 30.5 in 2004 and 33.42 in 2008

Yep, we're batting first. Took me by surprise, now doesn't look like it's as bowler friendly as it was described but time will tell.

A run out in the first over of a test match would be unforgivable
