Interesting Tidbits:

From a list of 60 batsmen with the lowest test batting Scoring Rates who have scored over 1000 runs (Tage is not there yet. He has not met the threshold of 1000 runs) only 5 batsmen average over 40.

J.C. Adams........41.26

M. Richardson.........44.77

A. H. Jones...............44.27

D. Boon...................48.66

A. Border................50.56

35 batsmen average below 30

20 batsmen are in the over 30-39 cohort.

.............................

If we agree that the batting standard for test cricket is 40 average, then from the above there is an 8 percent chance that Tage will average 40 in test cricket with his 37 percent scroring rate.. He has plenty of work to do.
