As a bowler I'd say yes, more variation and playing in a more batsman friendly era.

 

[The Omega Man]

Imagine taking the record of a legend like botham. Unbelievable achievement for the lad

Indeed. How many batsmen average 50 plus now? And how many in the 70s and 80s? Worlds apart

Chances of Broad breaking the record before he retires??

Can't see it. Too injury prone

I'd tend to agree, but looking at the leading test averages, only 2 of the top 20 played in the modern era. That said, players averaging 50 or more appears more common these days. In the past it was only the world class players that did, now its far more widespread

Aye. Looking at that list, Botham probably only played against Glenn Chappell tho

and Viv Richards

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

and Viv Richards

Border and Gavaskar too if we are going that far down the list....

Joe Root and Steve Smith average more than them, and no one is telling me they are better than Sir Viv

And Angelo Mathews ffs

 

[BAMBAM]

Well done Jimmy Anderson, should get well over 400 wickets.
