Another cricket question involving the number 50.
How many batsman are there whose test batting average never went below 50. And name them.


On a side note: Inzamam playing his last test got out cheaply. Unfortunately that ended his carrier with an average just below 50 (49.60).

Herbert Sutcliffe of England and Javad Miandad of Pakistan. Sutcliffe's never even fell below 60 - amazing. Other players will have done it, but presummably you're applying the standard rule of "after at least 2O completed test innings"? All the best.

Right answer. The answer I believe is for 50 plus average from the very first innings till you retire. I know Sir Donald Bradman fell cheaply in his first innings.
I do not know if there are other players in the above category but are simply not included because they played less than 20 innings.

Yes, there are others who just didn't complete 20 games. The most famous example is the West Indian player Andy Ganteaume. He played just one Test, batted once, scored 112 and was then dropped because of his slow scoring rate. He was never selected again...

well i did not realise that. I did know of the west indian player who played only one test and scored a century. I assummed he did it in his second innings. That was not the case.
Life is not fair as far as Andy Ganteaume is concerned.
