The only West Indians in Australia with a 50+ average are Gerry Alexander and Larry Gomes.
Sobers in Australia is in good company with the likes of Clive Lloyd, Sir Vivian Richards, and Brian Lara.
Numerous well appointed commentators have remarked on his many great innings in Australia. If I have time I will quote the one and only Jack Fingleton.
What I do know is that my opinion is in line with many very very good writers on the game who actually watched the great man play in Australia.
Punter is a goner...walk good!

How about the "great" Keith Arthurton ? You forgot about him or he is not a West Indian ?Arnik wrote:The only West Indians in Australia with a 50+ average are Gerry Alexander and Larry Gomes.

I have seen him play some great innings but this is a Test match and we were in an awkard position. All things considered, I think this is the best innings I have seen him play
