Oh ok, so in a discussion about a test team, all of a sudden Viv Richards' ODI bowling stats are of utmost importance. So what about his 32 test wickets at 60 apiece - given that we are discussing a test team, I thought they would have at least some relevance. Wicketkeepers don't count. Marshall's batting ave in tests of 20 > Viv's bowling ave in tests of 60. Then again, I have no knowledge of the era so what I said doesn't count.

Viv Richards averages 60 with the ball - double what is accepted for even a half-decent bowler, let alone a good one. Marshall averages 20 with the bat - that is half of what was - at that time - accepted as being the bench-mark of absolutely world class for batsmen. You're the one getting caught out mate by saying that Viv Richards' ODI bowling efforts translate into him being a test all-rounder. Once more, Dujon doesn't count because he was a shit bowler. In fact, he didn't bowl at all - a major hiccup in his quest to become a test all-rounder. You bell end.
