View submission: Reaching 50 - Reliability in Men's Test Cricket. Along the x-axis, we see the % of innings that a batter reached 50 and along the y-axis, their total number of innings (min. 5,000 test runs/Bradman excluded as he compresses the scatter graph too greatly).

You'd take 30 every time from both openers if you could get it I think. But it would be frustrating.

In most situations 30 (80} would be an opener exactly doing their job. That's why I was frustrated by some of the criticism of McSweeney.

A number 3 averaging 60 with a range from 55 to 65 would also be oddly frustrating despite that being also good.
